We are very excited to announce our next “Trippin’ with Chet” tour happening Saturday, May 17, 2014.

This is going to be an incredible TEXAS WINE TOUR heading into the Heart of the Hill Country – Fredericksburg!

We’ll be leaving out of Austin for a full day of adventure.  I don’t want to give too much away, but we’ll be stopping at 3 award-winning wineries, eating some wine-infused chocolate, visiting a historic museum, and – YES – there will be Bar-B-Q.

Tickets are $149 each which includes all transportation, food, drinks, fun, and games for the day.  You don’t want to miss this chance to learn about the Texas wine industry all while someone else handles the driving and logistics.

See you there!

We always thought it would be fun to get folks together in a historic Texas theater and watch movies made here in the Lone Star State.  Well, that dream is becoming reality.  And the first film to kick it off will be Secondhand Lions shown in the historic Georgetown Palace.

So join me and crew on FEBRUARY 1, 2014 at 1pm to watch this family classic.  Filmed in the Greater-Austin area, this film is about a young boy (Haley Joel Osment) who is left with his eccentric and supposedly wealthy uncles (Robert Duvall and Michael Caine) on their Texas farm.  This begrudging relationship blossoms as the boy learns his uncles’ quirky ways and the truth about how they came upon their hidden millions.

We need a camera that can dangle from trees, withstand the heat of a BBQ pit, all while shooting beautiful HD.  This is the perfect camera.
