They're probably trying to get Esther's to advertise in their rag.

c'mon guys, you know it's true.

it wouldn't hurt so bad if it weren't a critical nod from Rare Austin Magazine, the magazine we all read and care about so darn much.

No, Bob. Like, no one reads that thing. I can't think of one person I know who's actually....


...oh, I see what you did there.

Not trying to sound snippy, really but... Is Rare a free magazine or something? I've lived here a while and I've never seen nor heard of it?

I am pleased to award Rare Magazine the award for "Best Daily Newspaper" and "Best Brewpub".

Congrats Rare Magazine!

It's a relatively new publication that distributed for free that's, as far as I can tell, basically just dressed-up ad space.

GGG was in Rare magazine last year. They did an article about improv (like, the unscripted kind). So I'm confused. It's not like they don't know the difference.
