Spiderhouse (probably one of Austin's most representative coffee shop-bar-patios) is hosting a full evening of music and fashion this Saturday, dubbed Fashion Freakout.

It's time to play the name game! The Friends of the Austin Public Library and the Monster Book Store, located at 5th and Mary in South Austin, are moving and looking for a new, snappier name. They want to tap the collective creativity of Austin. Suggestions will be accepted through February 14th.

Because caffeine can cause anxiety, depression, bad-moods and increased levels of stress, (Imagine what we're like without our coffee!!) several coffee shops are going to start labeling their grinds accordingly.
