Hi Y'all! Ready to have some fun?

It's time for a formal introduction, y'all:

-So what is this A.P.E. blog thing, anyway?
APE stands for Austin Parties and Events. Our goal is to highlight local parties and events that are going on, and let you know about them.

-Why me?
Well, I like to have fun. You like to have fun. Even your neighbor down the street likes to have fun. Yeah, that one. Face it - we all like to have fun. That is the premise of APE.

-So why did you start A.P.E?
Maybe you just moved to Austin and you're looking for the coolest bar/nightclub that hosts the coolest events - maybe you've lived in Austin your whole life and you're just looking to have fun and meet new people, but you just don't know where to go to do it. Maybe..you're just a visiting party animal wanting to experience the best Austin nightlife scene! We want to help!

-What kinds of Parties & Events do you go to?
Big parties, small parties, dance parties, drinking parties. Concerts, art exhibits, poetry readings, active events (such as biking, canoeing, etc.). The main requirement in any party/event that we post is a potential for FUN.
These may be huge events, small house parties or just a new band playing at a local coffee shop.
It seems like there are always free or low cost parties/events going on. Some even have free beer/food, goodie bags and sometimes even clothes. Sometimes (if we are lucky) all of the above!

-Soo...who are you?
Our names are Jeremiah & Ashley. As far as we are concerned, Austin in the best city in the United States! We like to party, and because of that, we love Austin. We just moved here 6 months ago and shortly upon our arrival, we decided we wanted to have the time of our life in this lively city. But when we first moved here, we kept finding about all of the epic parties & events too late. Therefore we decided to hook ourselves into the scene and share it with others.

-What's the catch?
No catch! The only thing we ask is that if some amazing event comes up that we don't have posted - let us know!! Also, if you happen to see as at some event that we have posted, say hi to us - we don't bite!

All this being said, we should let you know this: by no means is this a concise know-all guide to what is going on in Austin. There are great websites for that already (Do512, Austin360). Or just check out the local edition of the Chronicle. We try to hand pick events that seem to give the most fun for your dollar and sometimes we just like to promote some of our favorite dj's/musicians.

And now that you know about us, tell us something about you.
What kind of parties and/or events are you interested in hearing about?

Looking forward to joining you in this journey - let's have some FUN!


xoxo,

Jeremiah & Ashley
