On A More Serious Note: Art and Destruction
This article was shared with me via Facebook. I found it a fascinating, albeit troubling, read.

Midtown Mexican; La Mancha Tex Mex on Hancock
Service Manager, Joey Carmona, always serves up a great time at La Mancha Tex Mex Tavern on Hancock. I entertained a few friends for a weeknight dinner and we sampled a number of items from the menu: street tacos, quesadillas, and fajita tacos. All were superb. The street tacos a bit heavy on cilantro, but the meat was very tender and quite flavorful. I would be remiss if I failed to suggest the infused tequila. Tonight’s medley featured tequila infused with jalapeño and pineapple. It was smooth, delicious and took the edge off of a rough Tuesday.

Lanai Nightclub is Closing, Sad to Hear It
A seven year run is a pretty good haul for a downtown bar. Lanai was always a fun place to hang out on a rooftop and see the sights of the city. I’ve always commened them for their outreach, inclusiveness, and great attitude.
If out and about, stop by the closing party.

Musically Speaking… Reviewing Rebel Heart
So I am a little cynical when it comes to Madonna’s musical releases as of the last few years. They’ve offered a lot of fun music, tongue-in-cheek lyrics, and were certainly conceived for the dance floor. I’ve just wanted something as fantastic as Ray of Light. Her latest foray into the Pop Music realm is Rebel Heart. I didn’t download the leaked songs, but I heard a number of early mixes on Soundcloud; many I found really good and interesting. What I can say about her latest album to drop is….
1. You get a lot of music for your money! $14.99 in iTunes for 19 songs.
2. The release has a huge range, musically. I’d say there’s something for everybody: light, serious, soft, tender and emotional.
3. She’s bearing a lot of herself in her lyrics, many songs are very introspective. Some are annoyingly too Pop for my tastes, but look who we are talking about.My personal favorites are: Body Shop, Inside Out, Rebel Heart
Enjoy.

Ferrari F1® Club @ COA
If you have the means, this certainly has to be the best place to be at COA in October. I’ve been to a few Ferrari of Austin events and they have all been first rate. The COA debut party near Henly, Texas in 2012 was magnificent. I have no doubt the Club® is just as spectacular.
