  Heading to D.C. for the inauguration? The last thing you'll want to do is help usher in the Obama presidency with your supersized, Bush-era carbon footprint. The solution, according to TripVerde, an Austin, Texas (ironically)-based company with offices in Denver and Palo Alto, is ride-sharing, and TripVerde's RideJockeys are now pairing people with fellow travelers from the same regions. "Four million people are expected to make the trip to Washington, D.C., for the January 20, 2009, inaugura

• Aloft in the Sundry SXSW tour diary

  Saturday, March 20: So we're here in Austin, Texas. We've been getting "Austonian," if you know what I mean. Heh. The drive down was pretty fresh ...well, for at least the first few hours. By the eighteenth hour, we were rockin the B.O. Sport for sure. It was nice riding down in the bus, though, with stand-up, drunken bus-surfing (not the driver, of course). We passed time quite proficiently.

The singer-songwriter was just tapped to open seventeen dates on Davy Knowles and Back Door Slam's upcoming tour, which kicks off on Friday, November 20 in Indianapolis.

  Lori Midson​The sign on the door announces that Chedd's Gourmet Grilled Cheese, 1906 Pearl Street, is "closed for remodeling until further notice," but a call to the joint's local headquarters resulted in a more concrete announcement -- namely a disconnected phone line. And a peek through Chedd's dirty windows shows a floor strewn with old license plates, pictures and a lone cow statue that doubled as Chedd's mascot when this first location opened six years ago to rave reviews. It's bad news i
