Austinist is sad to report that the body of 25-year-old Jessica Birge, the young woman who went missing last month in South Texas, has been found in the Guadalupe River. Birge was last seen on the night of August 11 in New Braunfels, where she'd been tubing the Comal with friends. A massive search was launched once it became apparent that Birge had gone missing; countless bulletins were posted and re-posted on Myspace, in the...

Austinist is asking you to keep an eye out for a young lady who went missing over a week ago in South Texas. Jessica Birge, age 25, was last seen on August 11, 2007 in New Braunfels at the Gruene Outpost River Lodge at around 10:00pm after tubing the Comal with friends. She was last seen wearing a pink bikini and can be identified by a unique scroll tattoo on the back of her neck....

As you may have heard, Schlitterbahn Waterpark – the massive expanse of water rides, germ-infested tube-streams and jaundiced kiddie pools in New Braunfels, Texas – may be the focus of a new MTV reality show, Waterpark, in which the park’s employees – mostly adolescents from 16 to 22 – will be put under the lens. The show represents an effort by MTV to attract a younger demographic of viewers. Schlitterbahn has reportedly agreed to filming,...

Officials in New Braunfels have grown increasingly concerned about the lascivious behavior that takes place on its beautiful rivers during the summer. There is drinking, and puking and cussing and smoking and a little too much flesh. That doesn't sound like a river, we thought, that sounds like a strip club. Apparently Trey Maddox, opportunistic owner of The Palace Men's Club in San Antonio, had the same neon light bulb flicker over his greasy head. Because this Sunday on the river, it's Ladies Night. Or something. For a mere $25, the club is offering a Tubing with Strippers excursion. Pay the price of one lap dance and you get to float down the river with Bambi, Star, Destiny and Kendra!

Hooters has a conscience about selling a $200 bottle of champagne to a FEMA aid-recipient, so they're reimbursing the agency. We can't wait until those strip clubs pony up the money spent there by disaster victims. Those debit cards- a disaster indeed. A Brooklyn artist posted his backyard tree house for rent as a gag but the housing market there is so competitive, he actually had a few seriously interested parties. Check out the...

The New York Times suddenly has a hankering for Texas food. Over the past ten days, three separate articles have praised the virtues of everything from Salt Lick BBQ sauce to Whataburger. You foodies may not consider these items haute cuisine, but it's exotic enough to get attention, we suppose. Other objects of the Times' devotion include Blue Bell Ice Cream and Shiner Bock. We take all of these items for granted, so it's...

Just when you were thinking that it was the time of year that sitting on your ass in front of the television watching "Charlie Brown's Christmas Special" was socially acceptable because it's cold outside, we're here to tell you you're just silly. There are a plethora of runs happening this weekend, all in the name of the holiday season. And you thought that cookies and hot chocolate were your friends. We know, we know....

Austin is a wonderful place to live, but we envy San Antonio their McNay Museum. The museum is one of our favorites, not only because of the great collection they have, but also because we love the Spanish-style building that houses it. We plan to trek down to the museum sometime before December 31 to see the Pre-Raphaelite exhibit visiting from the Delaware Art Museum.
