Let’s see……..summing up February…..super short month with lots of holidays (Groundhog Day, Valentine’s Day, President’s Day, Mardi  Gras, Super  Bowl Sunday….)  CHECK!

Super Bowl Victory for Austin’s Drew Brees………..CHECK!

(He graduated from Austin’s Westlake High School in 1996. He led his team to a 16-0 season and was named Texas Class A Most Valuable Player!  DAT’s WHO!!!!)

Another award nomination for Sandra Bullock…………CHECK

(She received an Oscar nod for her work in The Blind Side)

Celebrity spotting equipped and a shout-out for local business…….CHECK!  

(Jake Gyllenhaal visited Austin and was spotted at Jo’s Coffee Shop on South Congress…..later in the month he was spotted wearing a Mellow Johnny’s Bike Shop cap at a Laker’s game. Mellow Johnny’s is Lance Armstrong’s store here in Austin)

Sounds like a great month!

My prediction for March…….Oscar gold for Sandra Bullock and an influx of celeb spotting in Austin during South by Southwest! Should be a great month!!! Stay tuned  J

Congratulations to our girl Sandra Bullock for taking home a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Drama for her work in The Blind Side. She gave a heartfelt acceptance speech in which she thanked her hubby Jesse James for “having her back” (he is pictured below holding the umbrella ella ella ay ay ay- I will never say that word normally again).

Will there be an Oscar nod? We’ll find out Tuesday, February 2! Hmmmm….that is Groundhog Day. Wonder if the furry guy will tell us if there are going to be 6 more weeks of washed out, super pale, flesh-tone dresses and oodles of ruffles to carry us through to the Oscars, or if we’re done with that and everyone can look alive again? We shall see.  But Sandra didn’t disappoint. She rocked the purple….in the rain Prince would be proud!

Under Jesse

And……do you hear what I hear??

That would be wedding bells! Last week Minka Kelly of Friday Night Lights and Derek Jeter of the NY Yankees announced their engagement……as did UT Longhorn quarterback Colt McCoy and his girlfriend Rachel Glandorf…..on the football field of Darrell K. Royal- Texas Memorial Stadium no less. Touchdown! Homerun! And various and sundry other sports related references that otherwise say CONGRATS to the happy, athletically inclined couples!!

Looking forward to the nuptials…..and, no, I am still not ready to talk about the game

Till next time!

  Colt & Rachel                                          On the 50!!

This seems like an appropriate picture relating to Andy getting Married...

Sorry ladies AND gentleman, numerous sources have reported that Andy Roddick will be getting married this weekend in Austin. The lucky model (of course) is Brooklyn Decker, a 21 year old hailing from North Carolina. I love that they first got together by his agent calling her agent.  It’s so Hollywood.  It’s so impersonal, and I am so Jealous.  Note to self - secure an agent.  Note to self - have said agent call up Ewan MacGregor to set up a ‘meeting.’  Andy also wants to show us commoners that he definitely has friends in high places because none other then Sir Elton John is set to perform at the nuptials. Note to self - work on losing my friends in low places and aquiring friends in high places.
