Our Favorite Outside-the-box Organizations

Thinking Creatively Can be Fun

  • Jason and Tracey Louis Travelblog - This couple reevaluated their lives and put everything on hold to travel the globe. Wow, wouldn't that be nice? So we can live vicariously through them..... The Louis' take time to really inform and reflect on what they are doing and where they are going. Enjoy!
  • OPUS - Created by Berkeley Breathed (dist. by the Washington Post Writers Group) - The Sunday Comics became so much better when Mr. Breathed brought back his characters from Bloom County. He addresses timely topics, creates thought provoking avenues, and generally gives us a humorous way of looking at tough topics.
  • Prairie Home Companion - This weekly radio show never stops amazing. It is filled with laughter, song, commentary, and sarcasm. It is by far the most outside the box program you will enjoy
  • The Rugby Foundation - A group dedicated to developing and operating a permanent rugby facility in Central Texas to promote and grow the sport of rugby, provide alternatives to local youth through the sport, and create a platform for the rugby community to further charitable endeavors.
  • ACL Festival - "Austin City Limits" is a PBS tradition. And now the people at Austin City Limits have created a 3-day festival of music featuring many acts you know and many you will know. Experience the ACL Fest, creativity at its best.
