There are good recrd stores and great places to see tourring shows and nearly all bands of all sizes stop in austin, so that is a plus. There are some good people too, don;t let me make the mistake of not adding that.
If you already know some people there it is better, but if you ove there cold it is kind of a harsh cliquish experience, and it can take a long time to get to know anyone. oh, and Austin is the capital of Texas in one other respect, nowhere else will you find so many athletic-bodied Butterfaces. There are some doozies!!!!!

actually, it seems as if the new trend is the belly-pooch. ![]() I've never seen so many girls who look pregnant drinking as I did the last time I was there. it really was bizarre. and I'm not talking about girls who just aren't skinny. they are skinny girls WITH belly pooches. maybe it's all the beer. |

I agree with rob Austin is okay to visit But I would never live there It's too "laid back" (stoner central) for my taste |

Don't forget the bats !!!
Bat Season is Mid-March to Early November
![]() About Congress Bridge Bats
The Congress Avenue Bridge spans Town Lake in downtown Austin and is home to the largest urban bat colony in North America. The colony is estimated at 1.5 million Mexican free-tail bats. Each night from mid-March to November, the bats emerge from under the bridge at dusk to blanket the sky as they head out to forage for food. This event has become one of the most spectacular and unusual tourist attractions in Texas. The most spectacular bat flights are during hot, dry August nights, when multiple columns of bats emerge. There are several points from which to view the event, and an information kiosk is located on the north bank of the river, just east of the bridge.

yeah! the bats are cool! I like the fractal nature of the swarm, as it winds and coils upon itself.
Waterloo records is a must-visit, at 6th and lamar I think. Sound on Sound, if it is still there, is kick ass. You'll have to ask someone how o get there. The Whole Foods home ofice is there along with the goddamn largest fucking whole foods supermarket in the fuckin world. The Austin Record covention is this weekend. it is twice a year, the Fall one being the biggest. HUGE record convention. I went a few years ago with $150 to spend and got some choice fucking albums. Came back with like 20 Jazz, punk, indie, classsical, blues albums. There is a lot of BBQ, but if you like RIBS, pork ribs, then go to Texas Rib Kings, on the northern side of austin. (hope they are still there) FUCK the ribs are amazing wonderful.

In all the time I lived in Austin I don't think I ever managed to see the bats. I guess I never crossed the bridge at the right time.
Some other stuff... End of An Ear Records: By far the best record store in Austin. South 1st St. Caves! Enter the greenbelt from the far west side, cross the river, and walk towards the big hill with the rock wall. There are a bunch of wicked bad ass caves over there. Cathedral of Junk video on youtube: http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=FTWMFBOKiRA ooooh. There's good and cheap Vietnamese food to be had on the east side of Oltorf. 888 and Hai KY. |

I somehow missed this thread. My sister lives in Austin. I think all she ever does is go to class and go bowling. She's pretty boring, but I bet there's lots of neat stuff for you to do.
