For years, we’ve been waxing poetic about our fervent desire to hump. And also, our unwavering love of HUMP!, the film festival from Dan Savage that’s a little pornographic, a whole lot sex positive, queer AF and an indescribable amount of fun. Sadly, the fest won’t be making a stop in Dallas this year, but with six Austin screenings over […]
This past April, we enjoyed a magical weekend in Austin. Looking back, it was equal parts the incredible show put on by Kylie Minogue at the Moody Center and our two-night stay at the magnificent Hotel Van Zandt. Kylie may be long gone from the United States for a while, but Hotel Van Zandt won’t be going anywhere. And because […]
Fröhliche Weihnachten! Or better yet, Fröhliche Wine–nachten! We know today’s actually Das Halloween (impressed by our German?), but that doesn’t mean we can’t start thinking about Christmas and all the other December holidays we love. Fredericksburg, TX has deep Germanic roots—as well as deep-rooted grapevines—so it only seems appropriate that anyone wishing to experience a German-accented holiday near Dallas with […]
Perhaps the biggest highlight of the 2020 holiday season was The Jinx and DeLa Holiday Special. Well, that and getting to see our family again after so many months away. (But the comedy show still ranks highest). You can catch the hilariously manic musical extravaganza on Hulu, but we’re excited to see the RuPaul’s Drag Race fan-favorite drag queens live […]
If you’re in the need of a road trip to Austin, you might want to consider a last-minute trip in the next two weeks. From tomorrow through September 6, catch films galore at Prism 34, Austin’s aGLIFF (All Genders, Lifestyles, and Identities Film Festival). The festival returns to Austin theaters this year, but you can also access shorts and feature-length […]
We started our Dry January journey on the 4th. And, as you can imagine, by January 6 we went through half a bottle of Tito’s while fixated on the news unfolding in Washington, DC. When the dust settled a bit on Thursday, however, we decided to open up a box of hemp-extract products we were sent from AMMA Healing. Founded […]
Talking politics these days is rarely fun. But throw cocktails and food into the equation and we’re a little more willing to play pundit for a day. Thursday night, Equality Texas CEO Sam Smoot will be joined by the Dallas co-chairs and committee members at Cedar Springs Tap House for a town hall meeting and legislative update, which promises to address lawmakers’ various attempts to squelch […]
Dallas Pride kicks off in a little over a month. But if you simply can’t wait for the new, two-day Pride festival and parade, we have a capital idea: Road trip to Austin! Head down to Austin Pride this weekend, next weekend or heck, take off the entire week. It’s going to be nothing short of epic. Just check out […]
A lot can be accomplished in three hours. But few things are more rewarding than an escape to Austin for a long weekend. Sometimes, however, we don’t even set foot in the actual city in favor of a relaxing retreat with a hill country view. That’s exactly what we found at Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa, a luxe oasis […]
A road trip to Austin is always a good idea. But some excuses are better than others. Take AGLIFF (The Austin Gay & Lesbian International Film Festival), now in its 27th year. Not only are they featuring dozens of queer flicks such as Matt Shepard is a Friend of Mine, Regarding Susan Sontag and Boys (above), as well as dramatic, […]
