LezGoAustin is working our ass off to pull off one of the biggest events of the summer for a personal friend who is launching a bad-ass fashion line called Bruonis [brew - on - is] out of San Francisco!

More details will come soon about the fashion show, however, now that the show is a little over a month away, we are putting out the bat signal to all of you ladies for some dance crews to compete in our dance off!

The dance off will begin shortly after the runway show, and we are seeking THREE more teams to sign up to compete!  OK, OK, when we say “compete” we really mean just get out there and shake your asses and have fun.  The winner will most likely be decided by audience applause.  But if anyone kn0ws a way to get Ellen to come and judge, we’d be OK with that too.

Besides the chance to boast, and also be on TV (yes we will have a film crew at the event), the winning team will definitely get a cool-ass prize!

Here’s how to enter:  Send us an email at info@lezgoaustin.com and let us know your interested. Dance history is a plus, but it’s not a requirement.  If you’d like to include a video, a story, or a dream that you have of being a famous dancer/choreographer – go for it!  The dance crews have to be t least 2 people and can be as many as 5 (the stage is only so big!), and can be comprised of both males and females – we don’t discriminate!  Teams will be picked by June 16th, so you’ll have exactly a month to prepare.

If you have any other questions, just shoot us an email.  We look forward to meeting and working with our 3 teams!

Then she texts back.  Then we text back. And so on and so forth up until the point where your friends yell at you for having your face plastered to your cell phone screen all day and night.

Anyway, so that is the fact…and here is the news:  Texting while driving is now illegal in Austin, Tx!

The new law was put into effect January 2nd, 2010.  Although this may be an extremely hard habit for us to change, I think we an all agree that it’s for the best.

Voted on unanimously by Austin’s city council members, the law restricts drivers from texting, checking email, or using other applications (yes, this includes facebook ladies!) while their car is moving.  Texting is ok if you are stopped at a red light or stop sign, however, if you are caught “texting in motion” you can be ticketed and charged up to a $500 fee. 

You can count your lucky stars that Austin has yet to follow in the footsteps of cities like San Francisco, where by law you can only use your cell phone via blue tooth or some other hands free device – in Austin picking up your cell phone to call someone while driving is still legal.

So there you have it ladies, time to start breaking that bad habit!  Drivers in Austin will have only a one month grace period before cops really start to crack down.  Good luck and God speed!
