Hill Country BBQ’s Feed Your Face Challenge

In case there’s a chance that you didn’t stuff your face quite fully enough on Superbowl Sunday while watching my hero, Queen Latifah sing the national anthem, Texas-style BBQ-ery Hill Country is hosting one of the most daunting eating challenges I’ve been apprised of since Adam Orellana stomped on a

FREE Food, Pigskin and Pin-Ups All Day

As someone who normally avoids football at all costs, but also has a secret love of hot wings, the Super Bowl is a conflicting event for me. I enjoy the festive atmosphere and flowing beer but not so much the fist pumping and sporadic yelling. But the Who is playing

Dorkbot Meet up for Robot Enthusiasts

I love robots.  As an avid lover of anything SciFi, I’ve encountered many different types of robots amidst the pages of Asimov, old Jetsons reruns, and weird B-quality movies.  Take a look at some videos of robots here – dancing and falling and even playing the violin! Oh. You asked
