I'm back and ready to bring you all the latest in Aubrey news. Hope everyone who was in Hurricane Ike's path is okay. It was, for the most part, a non-event here in Tyler (some power outages and a few downed trees)...I only left to avoid the cra...

I've been listening to Loreena McKennitt's albums constantly lately, mostly An Ancient Muse and Nights at the Alhambra, and I was struck by how the feel of her music has changed over the past ten years or so, when I first discovered her. In 1997'...

We've decided to switch hotels in Austin. The Omni is beautiful and ritzy, but I mentioned the other day that I'd like to hang out in SoCo, and Leslie did some research and found us this kitschy little place literally down the street from everyth...

Question for my neighborhood.

nobody@vox.com(Aubrey O.) — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 16:01:06 -0400

I'm sure that some of you have lived in or visited New Orleans. Do you have any advice on lodgings? Of course, I would love to stay in some renovated, former-bordello bed and breakfast (I could stay at the Marie Laveau Guest House, named after t...
