Thoughts of a Downtown Beginner
Well, so far I guess most of the talk of Austin's dtown experience is pretty accurate. I don't live in Austin anymore since I go to college at baylor. 6th St is pretty dope, most people are cool, and it's chill to either just go bar to bar or club to club. There are a few a things that piss me off. Fridays and saturdays drinks are off the roof, they know everybody is gonna
Malverde
A while back me and a friend, destined to stay away from sixth street, went to a club called "Malverde". It is located on the corner of 2nd and Guadalupe in downtown Austin. The atmosphere was awesome, as was the crowd. The music matched the lounge scene. Dj Mel rocked the crowd. If you are looking for a really cool club with an awesome atmoshphere, Malverde would definately be the place to go.

Austin, Live Music Capital of the World
Huh? Whaaat? Mmmm... I don't know about that title. I read somewhere on Facebook recently that ACL was coming up and that got me thinking... ACL, SXSW, Old Pecan Street Festival, Austin Celtic Festival, Bat Fest etc etc... Feels like Austin is always gearing up for some kind of creative-hippie-folklore-keepin' it weird kind of event. I admit I travel all the time, my taste in music may not be mainstream in the ATX population and
The Iron DJ
So for the past few months, Austin's best DJs have been gathering at Suite 101 to battle each other and eventually one was to become crowned Austin's Iron DJ 2010. Organized by none other than Jeff Davis and hosted by the Austin's own D-Train, The Iron DJ competition featured some of the best acts in town. The format was simple. Warm up with DJ Abe The Assassin to get the crowd in the groove Some
A Night of Bar Hopping
Last night was the most bar hopping night I've done in years. I forgot how OU weekend impacts clubs down here. I guess the goal was to find a place with decent music and crowd but maybe that was too much to ask. Everywhere we went it was one or the other or none of the above. Got downtown a little bit before midnight which is kinda late for me but oh well. Maybe I
Machete Rodriguez at Beso = Crazy night!
Michelle Rodriguez plays out on Tuesday night at Beso Cantina along with bodyguards next to her. Is that something she should have or not have?? I think have is not the right answer due to a party that was in a such a small place that the enviroment could been more steady action rather thad 2 big ASS dudes mean-mugging all night! Not my style of a night. This is not L.A. This is Austin
Polo Shirts
We went out on a Thursday nite few month ago, stop’d by few bars having a good time with a true ninja friend as Coumba calls them (lmao).. sumtimes you just want to check out a bar you pass by all the time but never been in! So here we are, few folks in front of us, some of them got rejected at the door.. Next thing coming in our mind, is “damn is he
Buy You A Drink
As a matter of personal preference, I have a rule to not accept drinks from dudes in the club. Why, you might ask??? Simply because as a single woman, I highly value my FREEDOM. If I am in the club, I am trying to have a good time. The last thing I want is to feel like I have to be nice to you or have you follow me around the club or let you
Broke Man Walking
Have you ever seen a grown man downtown goin' out with no money, not even $2 in his pocket.. all he has is an I.D! (no wallet, means no CCard) Advice: Stay home buddy! You don't have to have money to have fun downtown but DAMN! This could be added as a RULE for goin' out in austin. lol
Shoe Wars
Blue Supra Vaiders: were thrown up on while walking through a bar crowd. Didn't know why the floor was mushy too.. But now i do Black/grey Vans Eras: covered with Modelo Negro, courtesy of the infamous wacking Sean! (dance on playa!) Grey Supra TK: covered with the stench of horse cop manure. took me like a day to take off all that crap.. was a shitty job.. no pun intended Black Tuf Supra Skytops: dropped
Can’t We All Just Get Along?
Why is it that the majority of the groups of guys that go together downtown are always looking into starting some shit. Is it because they have something to prove? Is it because they are jealous? or is it because I'm in the wrong place at the wrong time? Who knows. But serious, it needs to stop. I've been in like 3 brawls. I'm talking like 3 people vs like 10 kinda brawls. "Are you
Wack Club Music
So I'm back in Austin. Was gone for about 8 months and man shits changed. I'm not much of a bar guy, I like to hit the clubs and dance. In order to do that, you need good music. I find myself wondering why the DJ's are playing such whack music when I KNOW they are far more capable of shuttin the place down. I know its sometimes done at the request of the club
Don’t Waste My Time
What is it with married (or otherwise unavailable) men who go out downtown and try to hook up. Oh, they don't tell you right away but once they do, they want to talk about how they deserve respect for being honest with you. What, Seriously! I guess they are being honest with their wife/girlfriend then too, right? Sometimes I wonder if I inadvertently left the house with the word IDIOT written on my forehead. Sad
The 5 Types of Clubs/Bars
I've been to most bars/clubs downtown at least once...(some of em, I'll never step in again). Based on my observations, I've distinguished 5 types of bars/clubs downtown: #1: The College Bar We all know this type...It is usually packed with college kids...(haha, kids...that makes me sound old)...The bar always has at least 3 or 4 screens showing All-American sports the whole night...mostly football and baseball...Therefore, they attract a buncha frat-lookin white guys who come to
The Top 10 Rules of Goin’ Out in Austin
Like a lotta people, I'm sure, at some point, you think: "Damn, downtown is gettin' old...Same people, different clubs....Same drinks, different bars...Same music, different place...so basically, Same shit, different night..." I couldn't agree more...Plus, there are some shit that you get tired of after a while and you swear to yourself that you wouldn't go out 4 a while...and next weekend comes up and you out there again cuz it's a friend's birthday... I've gone out with

As the founder of The FeedBak, I, Bak (thus the name), would like to welcome you to this exciting venture. This is almost 2 years in the making and I think it is about time to get started.
