Ping pong fever in Austin

This past Thursday I was privileged enough to take part in my first ever King Pong tournament. For those of you who do not know, King Pong is an agency ping pong tournament that happens once a year in Austin and pits the best pongers from local agencies against each other in a 5-hour long tournament. I love ping pong so I was stoked for this. The whole event was pretty cool, but I was definitely not as hardcore as some of the other players there. I made it through the first round but lost in the second round to one of the guys that founded the event a few years ago. I think that I might need to invest in a ping pong table so that I can start practicing and be fully prepared for next year’s event.

when in austin: easy tiger

I have a major obsession with baked goods. I could stare (and smell) them all day. I don’t even need to eat them to appreciate them. That is why Easy Tiger is the best. They basically use the bread as art. Bonus points to them because you can watch them baking, and it also tastes as good as it smells.

When you live in Austin, you must go to the Farmer’s Market, with your dog while still wearing your Saturday morning yoga clothes. You have to buy the kettle corn (because its kettle corn), sample everything, and buy some fresh veggies.

On this particular trip, we impulse bought a couple pickling cucumbers, and then impulse bought all the supplies needed to make homemade pickles.

And just in case you thought making pickles smells good- it smells like we should be wearing this.
