Texans don't just like barbecue, they love barbecue. They eat it, write about it, study it, take photographs of it, send it to friends, and then some. So it's not surprising that when Aaron Franklin opened Franklin Barbecue and people began to take note of his amazing brisket, word spread quickly via Twitter and blogs. Lines began forming and getting longer, and the national press even applauded the newcomer. But who was this pitmaster? How could a young guy in Austin be producing some of the state's best brisket? It came to be known that Aaron had once worked with John Mueller, of the legendary Louie Mueller clan in Taylor. John had learned the ropes from his father, Bobby, and then started his own successful shop in Austin. The joint had a loyal following, but in the end, John couldn't make it work and eventually pulled out and moved on.'...

Last week, Ben Kweller was on his hands and knees on the front lawn of his South Austin office, helping a delivery driver shrink-wrap a pallet of one thousand CDs destined for Japan. When they had secured the goods, the thirty-year-old singer-songwriter'dressed in a black version of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" jacket and ripped jeans'popped a leg onto the boxes and threw up a devil's sign, posing for a picture he immediately texted to his Tokyo distributor to show that the CDs were indeed on their way. For the first time in his career, Kweller is in not only in charge of making the music, but also of the shipping and receiving department. And the wide-eyed grin in the snapshot is a small display of what independence looks like. "It's fun, fascinating and a ridiculous amount of work to go from sitting back and letting a major label decide my fate'...

THROW YOUR PLANS OUT'the window. We scoured the state in search of the top events and offerings, from LeAnn Rimes in Fort Worth to an Andy Warhol exhibit in San Antonio. Here's our super select guide to the things you absolutely can't afford to miss.[Jan 27'Feb 2] ''''' FORT WORTH Rimes With ClineLeAnn Rimes's talent roused great expectations. At thirteen, with her rendition of the song "Blue," she was destined to be the next Patsy Cline'both singers of remarkable tone and restraint'which was a lot of pressure to put on someone who had barely hit puberty. Rimes played the part for a while, but things came undone around age twenty, with the release of the album Twisted Angel.'A new, grown-up Rimes emerged, with attitude and pop ambition. Even while she was en route to selling 37 million albums, she was searching for her identity.'Now 29, she seems'...

RESPLENDENT WITH crystal globes, Philippe Starck'designed transparent "ghost chairs," and a smart black, white, and gray color scheme, Feast burst onto the scene in San Antonio's vaguely bohemian Southtown neighborhood five months ago like a New York runway model crashing the ladies' bridge club. Owner and principal designer Andrew Goodman took the cozy old storefront that once housed Oloroso and transformed it into something rich and strange. But there's more going on here than the arrival of a single glitzy tenant. When you look at other significant newcomers to the area, like the eclectic Monterey and Bliss (the latter from chef Mark Bliss, which was on the verge of opening at press time), it's clear that the once sleepy neighborhood is waking up. Not to be confused with the Feast in Houston, famous for nose-to-tail dining, this Feast is a totally different animal. Under the direction of chef Stefan Bowers,'...

THROW YOUR PLANS OUT'the window. We scoured the state in search of the top events and offerings, from Kelly Clarkson in San Antonio to disco dancing in Houston. Here's our super select guide to the things you absolutely can't afford to miss.[Feb 3'Feb 9] ''''' SAN ANTONIO Idol WorshipThe rivalry between Oklahomans and Texans remains intense, even off the football field. Kelly Clarkson scores one for Texas with her reclamation of ultimate "American Idol" status, which she had temporarily lost to her north-of-the-border counterpart Carrie Underwood. Clarkson's winning campaign started this year with an endorsement of Ron Paul, a fellow Texan'though controversial, it generated lots of buzz for her new album, Stronger. It continued with an appearance on Saturday Night Live'and news that she would join the reality TV show The Voice'as a singing mentor and perform the national anthem at the Super Bowl. And Clarkson has'...
