LESS THE R A MBUNC TIOUS TE A M . This month, we’ve managed to lasso more than a few inter-
esting tales of rebels (on roller skates), of renegades (who revive a populace) and of pioneers (of new music). So it should come as no surprise that the ALM crew were chomping at the bit to roam free on the range, far from cubicles and monitor screens. A mere few miles east of the airport, there is a place that is straight out of the old west, complete with horses, hay, the smell of weathered leather and acres to roam. Thanks to the kind hospitality of Wiley and Becky Carwile with Wagonbrand Leather, the staff of Austin Lifestyle had a chance to sow our oats and let off some steam from the hectic job of bringing you the best that Austin has to offer. We weren’t able to rustle up all of the mustangs who call Austin Lifestyle Magazine home for Linda Hughes to corral with her camera, but we did manage to get a few of our editorial team together for our time on the range. Of course, with Kym Smoak of Smoak’n Kreations Hair and Makeup, we weren’t exactly roughing it. Nevertheless, we’ve hunted down some great stories this month and have even more great tales to come. We hope you enjoy and ask that “Y’all come back, now, ya hear?”
