Announcing the Winner of the Everyone Loves Austin Giveaway (while on painkillers)

Hey Gang!

Sorry for the delay in announcing the winner of the Everyone Loves Austin Tee or Tank Giveaway.

I was in a creative funk this week and in a lot of pain due to my wisdom teeth.

Good news is, I got my wisdom teeth out about two hours ago!

Please email me at laurenmodery at gmail dot com if you’re the winner!

Everything is a-ok right now.

My CultureMap story yesterday featured a cool new pride and preservation initiative called Everyone Loves Austin.

When I first met Sophia Erian, founder of Everyone Loves Austin, I was struck by her infectious enthusiasm for the city. She talked about Austin like it was her child. Pride and ardor run deep through her veins and she knows that there are other people out there like her too- tons of us, actually. That is why she created the new movement Everyone Loves Austin.

Everyone Loves Austin is a two-fold initiative. The first part is “merely to make an assertion that we love Austin,” says Erian…
