If that isn't community-centered journalism, then I don't know what is! The Austin Chronicle has constantly kept me informed on critical topics that otherwise more mainstream Austin papers wouldn't ever cover. This periodical helps to keep Austin weird and I couldn't recommend it more!

They know the ins and outs of the community, and are very involved with community activities ... especially in promoting local businesses, and encouraging people to shop locally. The high caliber and integrity of this publication makes it one of the finest in Austin.

Not THAT rare. Does…read moreanyone else agree the last edition of this magazine is some sort of masturbation fodder for a small group of peeps who love to see themselves go out? Personally, I like the design. But then I like the design for USA TODAY so what do I know. If you like to go out on the town, shop and eat, it's a good visual for where you're going. But this magazine...not clear on what it is - an attempt at photo editorial, or is it a creative form of advertising? Who knows...it's pretty. Not much depth, but a nice resource for, hmmm...trust fund kids under 30?

RSVP process was a gigantic waste of time, no one was directing parking, cops were completely useless, no communication to the waiting crowd to get on shuttles, shuttles came in a group of 2 or 3 every half hour to hour.... rare? you really bit off more than you could chew. sorry but you just fell your way back to 1 star. i'm on a boycott now of rare magazine AND dos equis. you both just wasted a lot of people's time.

I just picked up the latest "fashion" issue. What a huge disappointment! I've never seen such bad…read morephotography with some truly awful and pedestrian clothing. Not one bit of flair, just unimaginative and unremarkable. The kind of clothing you see on women coming to Austin for a bachelorette party. Sophisticated people in Austin do not dress like that. You need to find a new person for "fashion" issues in the future. On another note - the men's shorts from By George for $470 were a joke. If I saw a guy wearing those in a bar, I'd pass my wine through my nose.

I have no beef with Tribeza. It's wild to assume the magazine is just built for the wealthy - I…read morelike shiny pages with pretty things I can't afford, and I need to sharpen my origami skills to make the paper into Christmas ornaments. The email newsletter is where it's at. Have you seen all the free events? As soon as that email hits the inbox, I open up my Google calendar (which automatically texts me an hour before my events (no I do not have an iPhone (do not judge me))) and systematically add all the fun stuff. I then start planning who will go with me for the free drinks, snacks and cupcakes, the goodie bag, the coupon giveaway, the so on and so forth. Every now and then an event is held in a place that has a clearance rack, which has it's own clearance rack, which is where you might find me making a fabulous fashion discovery. Oh Tribeza, no one should hate on you.

The five guys who own and/or run this great company must have a hive-mind or something. A really…read morecreative, buzzy hive-mind. They produce work that is consistently hip, hot, clever and on-point no matter the chief individual working on a project. Their office is supremely cool (even if I did find a cockroach in the bathroom (: ) and makes me totally jealous. I only wish my "pod" (mini cubicle) could be full of such inspiring design! Your band needs them. Your brand needs them. Your brain might just need them. To disclose properly: I know one of the guys here personally. He's awesome. I know nothing about their rates or ability to meet deadlines, but some of my (and your) favorite bands and other cool companies come to them, and that's a pretty good endorsement if you ask me! Their limited edition prints and the work they've all done before (and during) their time at Decoder Ring is equally impressive.

I have to agree with the other reviewers. I went to Design Ranch this year and they did a…read moresilk-screen workshop that was fun and had great bloody mary's. Make sure you check out the fine art section of their site. If I'm not mistaken these are all screen prints and absolutely amazing. I remember them saying that artists come in and work with them to create these and the Rob Baseman was supposed to do it at some point. That's a piece of art I will own for sure. These guys are cool man. Totally cool.

Foodie News! Every Yelper should be familiar with this…read moremagazine. It's available at local restaurants, bars and markets across Austin. It's a free, monthly full color publication with local food reporting, interviews, advertisements, and photos. Eat & Drink serves large cities across the country, and each city has its own edition. The magazine features locally grown foods and ingredients, and are all things that you should be able to find in the local farmers market, or around Austin. It makes it easy to obtain the foods featured in the magazine. Flipping through each page, my mouth waters at the photo spreads. This magazine doesn't talk about things that major chains are doing- it's all local people that they discuss and interview. Most of the things are focused on community, the environment, and local news. They usually feature recipes of the dishes featured that showcase local ingredients. The advertising in here is pretty great too- it's a lot of small businesses promoting their events. You can subscribe to this magazine by the mail, or just pick it up for free at your favorite local restaurant.

This is definately one of my favorite local publications. You can find it at many bars and…read morerestaurants all over the city, usually situated near the Chronicle. Eat and Drink Austin is a magazine that features and reviews restaurants citywide. The reviews are incredibly thorough and seemingly unbiased. I've discovered many places that I'd like to visit (a few that I actually have), just by reading this magazine. The current edition begins with a breakdown of all things new and improved in the Austin restaurant life. It discusses where new restaurants are going to be, where old ones are moving to, and where old ones are expanding to (I just learned that Hyde Park Bar and Grill is opening/has opened a second location on West Gate). The rest of the magazine features different reviews of various eateries of the city. Towards the end, there's a restaurant listing and a fairly detailed map, showing where they are. A new feature, on the last page, is called "Where can I find..." This edition asks, where can I find pizza. It recommends various local pizza joints all over the city, so you don't have to resort to the chains. One downside, which is actually an upside to me, is the massive amount of advertisements. I feel, though, that if I discover someplace new in these ads, that it's totally worth going through! For the record, I've picked up Eat and Drink Austin at the Draught House and I think the time I went to Magnolia Cafe...just a couple spots where you can find this awesome publication!

This magazine rules! Study Breaks is aimed at the local…read morecollege student. They show lots of pics and advertising related to partying, relaxing, and studying. I think it's a monthly magazine, with special editions for Spring Break. Their pullout Happy Hour Guide is very useful. They show a grid of all the local pubs and bars offering happy hours, what and when they are, and where they are. Somebody has put a lot of research into the bars to find out all this info, and saves the thrifty student a lot of time and money. Most of the bars are located in the local university's vicinity. Their pictures are all of local places, with local people looking beautiful and chugging beer, dancing and having fun. The advertisements in here are slick, full color ads. They're usually for local bars and beer brands. I tend to check out the ads, as they often announce concerts and festivals. I appreciate the column where they interview a random Millennial, and ask them questions to get a glimpse into the generation. Pokemon is mentioned most of the time. A lot of the columns are features like how Maxim Magazine works- top 3 lists, and most articles are shorter than this Yelp review. There's sometimes coupons in here for freebies from local restaurants aimed at students. I believe that currently, Study Breaks serves UT, UTSA, Texas State, and Texas Tech.

Everything you read in here is vital information. Their horoscopes are the most accurate. Their stock quotes are financially sound. I appreciate the opinion page. I trust the Dimple Trainers, the Phillips Head Advocates and Yarn Sorters they ask for opinions. The Onion is still available in Print, last I checked in Austin. It's harder to find than the Observer, but is also available online. You can even get a weekly subscription mailed to you. I always like to quote Onion articles and statistics. They're the most reliable.

Oh well, I guess just read them, smile, and move along. Eventually, they'll get bored and go back to writing about failing movies, stupid television shows and the silly horoscope predictions.
