Check out the best of Austin this weekend! šŸŽ­ā˜•

Happy Friday ATX! šŸ¤  All the national days today are kind of lame, but tomorrow is National Drink Beer Day šŸ˜‚šŸ»

I AM SO EXCITED FOR ACL WEEKEND 1 AND ALL THE MADNESS IT WILL BRING TO AUSTIN NEXT WEEKEND!!! šŸŽ¶šŸŽ‰

Okay that is all... here is your meme for this weeks newsletter:

If you say that about this years lineup, I want what you are smoking.

Weekend Forecast: Lots of fun happenings this weekend from Weezer at Moody Center, to my little sisters bands album release party at Hotel Vegas, to Austin Coffee Festival and more. 

I can feel fall coming. The high is only 91 this weekend, which is kind of hilarious to me. 91 degrees and weā€™re celebrating the weather ā€œcooling downā€ šŸŒž

Welcome to Austin, Texas yā€™all!

Best thing we ate this weekā€¦  Gas station pizza. Sounds sketchy right? Well usually youā€™d be right, but when it comes to Giovanniā€™s Pizza inside of the Valero at the intersection of Barton Hills and South Lamar youā€™re wrong. The owner was a chef in a fine dining restaurant for years before opening this spot, and its the real deal. They have a real pizza oven and make everything to order. The food here is seriously good, and not seriously overpriced. 

Pro tip: Donā€™t skip on the spicy Caesar salad or the Margherita pizza. 

Giovanniā€™s Pepperoni and Spicy Caesar Salad

Most fun we had this weekā€¦ If you arenā€™t familiar with Laguna Gloria, itā€™s a fabulous historic lakeside art gallery and home to the Art School at The Contemporary. I hadnā€™t been in years and the expansion since my last visit has been significant. This place was way cooler than I remember, and if youā€™re looking for somewhere to spend your day lakeside surrounded by beautiful art, this might be the only place in Austin to do that. I donā€™t think I could paint an accurate picture of just how cool this place is with my words so I am just going to encourage you to go see for yourself. 

Pro tip: Itā€™s free on Thursdays.

New Business that we want to tryā€¦ I love a good sub sandwich, and Iā€™ve seen this place being mentioned by quite a few of the trusted Austin food heads over the past few weeks. Knuckle Sandwich recently opened up in The Yard food truck park down off of South 1st Street and theyā€™re using top notch ingredients serving up subs like the Lamb Sammie, a sub made of slow cooked lamb, tzatziki, ā€œan absurd amount of fresh herbsā€, beets, and horseradish. Needless to say this place is gonna need some further investigatingā€¦ šŸ§
