I am sad to announce the closing of our neighborhood barber shop "Cuts So Throwed". I am not sad because I went there, nor would I go there. I am not sad because I have any idea what Cuts So Throwed means or refers to within the culture that it stands for. What I am sad about is that I can't drive by this local establishment every few days and laugh at my naievity of a language and culture that is foreign to me. Regardless of my cluelessness I will now present to you things that I have found in the last year and things coming up in the next few weeks that I think are "So Throwed".
Feel free to check out the links as I am sure you won't be dissapointed. We will possibly expand on each of these subjects in the future or maybe have a "So Throwed Two" edition.
Food
Tomunchi so throwed: The best yogurt place in Texas. Also the one place that can put me in a good mood instantly.
Obees so throwed: The best deli in Austin serving up traditional deli fare and world class meditternian items as well. Run by the amazing Charlie and Emily.
Polvos so throwed: The best Interior Mexican food this side of the interior of Mexico. Try the Guajillo Fajitas.
Thai-Fresh so throwed: Amazing Thai food prepared by the awesome Chef Jam. She also teaches cooking classes in the Thai-Fresh kitchen. We took a class with her and the Tipsy Texan and it was awesome.
Music
Barcelona so throwed: They just released a new album and it is great. Check it!
Mumford and Sons so throwed: We discovered these guys during SXSW and they are amazing. Haven't stopped listening to them since.
Seabird so throwed: Discovered these guys a while back. Saw them for the first time during SXSW. They had one of the top two shows during the whole festival.
Lex Land so throwed: Amazing, amazing vocalist. Incredible live. Her recorded music doesn't do her justice.
Events
Resident Hero so throwed: In Austin, May 22nd-23rd. It's actually just Ryan White acoustic but it will be incredible.
Paper Route so throwed: In Austin, May 20th at the Mohawk. Great Electronic/Rock out of Nashville.
Laith so throwed: Our dear friend Emily should be having a baby any minute now! Laith Rajeh will join us soon!
San Francisco so throwed: We are vacationing there Jun. 5th-13th. Can't wait for Golden Gate Bridge, Golden Gate Park, Shopping, The Ferry Building, Wine in Sonoma, The Mission, and everything else about this city. The food: A16, The Slanted Door, Chez Panisse, The Creme Brulee Cart, and most importantly Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream.

Ha ha!! I'm cracking up.
I challenge your Polvo's so throwed. . . have you been to Fonda San Miguel? More expensive but the best interior Mexican food I have had. Well except for food I'd have from interior Mexico itself. :)
I just had Thai Fresh for the first time this week and it made me very happy! Especially the mango ice cream and hot sticky rice. I tell you, that dessert is the thing dreams are made of.
And yay for babies, music and vacations! Sounds like y'all are busy!
