A hotel I stayed at during a recent business trip couldn’t help me replace the make-up I left at home but was well-stocked for horny convention attendees.
Thanks for nothing, jerks.

Twitter Spotlight: Debbie Smith
I have followed @SmithWit for a long time but until I asked her to be in the Twitter Spotlight, I don’t think I knew her real name. Nuts, right?
I know her name now as well as some more factoids. Debbie is a hilarious, Austin-dwelling former NFL cheerleader with a Masters in Theology who now does stand-up. Oh! And Ellen Degeneres gave her $1000.
You should follow her on Twitter if you don’t already.

@SmithWit: I like my man to be considerate, receptive and charming, yet with an unmatched zest for life and an overall fun personality.
OneChicklette: Your chief characteristic (one word)
@SmithWit: Resilient.
Twitter Spotlight: Isaiah Kemp
Stylish. A charmer. Old soul. Kind. Supportive. Hungry. Funny. These are the words that come to mind when I think of my twitter friend @isaiahk_.
Fortunately for you, I’m willing to share Ike. Just a little
OneChicklette: Your favorite qualities in a love interest
@isaiahk_: Creativity, passion, ability to not think of me as a disgusting human, ability to hold a conversation despite me giving one word answers and grunts.

I went to Dallas (again)
I went to Houston
While I have flown through Houston several times, I had never truly set foot in the city itself until now.
I stayed at the Hotel Zaza. My flight was delayed more than three hours so sadly, I didn’t get to enjoy this:
My room had a surprise or two for me. How would you react?
When my work was over, I got to catch up with @eimski.
I went to San Antonio. And Dallas too.

I had a giggle
Nice shopping bags, boys
Everything is bigger in Texas
Texas sized portions. That's an appetizer!

Miscellany – Austin, food, more food
Many months after moving into Williamsburg, I *finally* made it to Fette Sau. LOVED it.
My neighbor friend, her daughter and I went on a whim, ordering barbecued meat by the pound and beer served in mason jars (well, the two adults had beer; the three-year old stuck with water). As twilight fell, we ate at a shared picnic bench and chatted with the young couple next to us.

If you like to talk about food (ingredients, restaurants, anything), check out donrockwell.com. It began as a DC-centric food discussion site, but has expanded with time.
I made some great friends through the site, and I still post – just usually about NYC spots now.

I love Joanna Goddard’s post about her family’s trip to Austin. Can’t wait to get back there in a few weeks.
Michelada at Hotel San Jose
I went to Texas
I went to Texas for work. It was trip #2 of this young year.
This was my chariot (aka rental car). Yep, a black Crown Vic.
I enjoyed another [awesome] michelada in the [lovely] courtyard at the [super cool] Hotel San Jose. I revisited my cowboy boot lust.
I dined with a colleague at Bess Bistro. Yep, Sandra Bullock’s Austin restaurant.
I saw the Grillists near Fort Hood. Somehow I resisted.
BTW, if you ever want to pawn something, Killeen is the spot for you.
At Fort Hood, I learned about Fisher House Foundation (which does amazing, much-needed work for military families).
And then I flew home (for two days, but still) before I went to South Beach.
Cowboy boots
I’m not going to say I’m obsessed with cowboy boots. That phrase…I just don’t like it.
