This is why I want to move to Austin.

[midgetonadonkey]

Obviously you want to move to Austin for the moontowers. Since it's the only city in the world that still uses them.

No, he wants to move there because Austin is the most gay friendly city in Texas.

Austinites are like Coloradoans.

They want you to visit and leave your greenback dollars, but when you run out, they want you to LEAVE!!!

Oh, and Austin has the ass-kickingest morning show in the history of radio: Dudley and Bob (and Charlie Hodge) on 93.7 KLBJ-FM.

I guess I'm just keeping Austin weird for the weekend.

I believe that Dallas trumps Austin in that regard.

Oh yea, and now I have to see The Hulk.

Why move to Austin when you can live in Denton?

[MoSpur]

I don't like Austin at all. I have been several times and don't get it. That's just my opinion though.

[Kermit]

The less people who don't like Austin and don't want to move here, the better. This city is too overcrowded as it is.

[leemajors]

you don't ever want to be near Harry Knowles, sorry. he ing reeks - you can usually smell him across a theater.

Austin is "diverse." I used to think that meant "there are lots of different kinds of people there," but then I found out that Houston is not "diverse," despite having significant enclaves of people from Vietnam, Pakistan, India, Lebanon, Egypt, Palestine and Syria, Greece, Nigeria, Jamaica, and Honduras, as well as distinct Mexican communities from several states including Nuevo Leon, San Luis Potosi, and Tabasco, and large communities of descendants from Germany, the Czech Republic, and Poland (and other countries) who still maintain a cultural iden y.

I have since learned that "diverse" actually means "has lots of young, left-wing hipsters who in abstraction are tolerant of different ethnic groups they never actually encounter."

Oh, they encounter them. It's usually in a "walk the other way" manner or "how much do you charge" manner or "don't you play for the Longhorns" manner.

Damn, when did Harry Knowles become wheelchair-bound? That really sucks.

[leemajors]

Damn, when did Harry Knowles become wheelchair-bound? That really sucks.

I saw him fall on his ass about 4-5 years ago in the lobby of the Village when I worked there, I think it was after that. No one who worked there really wanted to help him since he was such a jerk and smelled so horrid. Eventually people brought him two chairs he used to sort of push himself up with his arms while his dad and someone else helped him. He was on crutches at that point. Extreme sloth put him in a wheelchair.

Since he gained that extra 200 pounds.

I'm going to a movie tonight in Austin. Needless to say, I hope Harry Knowles and his odor aren't there.

[RashoFan]

, I wish they would put in some ing light rail btw SA and Austin. They could have stations in both downtowns, South Austin, SM, NB, Schertz/Selma, and somewhere near 410.

s Yeah!!!
We could have had that being built if folks would have voted for it a few years back.

Mangia Pizza. #1 reason to move to Austin.

I just went to a Mangia's for the first time last night. Badass Chicago-style pie. Definitely will be going back again.

And yeah, you lamers who don't like Austin must not be much into nightlife or entertainment or...fun.

I used to be constantly bored as when I lived in San Antonio. Been in Austin about a year, it's hard to NOT find something to do in Austin whether it be music, festivals, nightlife, or just general mischief. Not to mention the people here are more laid back and the police aren't looking for any excuse to write your ass a ticket

[mouse]

One of my favorite times bombing on stage was at the Velveeta room. Any town where you can get a tattoo at 2 AM is cool by me!

And on the subject of Austin PD, I have never gotten a ticket in Travis County. Ever. I've been pulled over for speeding three times, and all three times I was going at least 10 over the limit and got warnings each time. I've never had any problems in Williamson County except getting pulled over for a tail light not working. But my friend has gotten about 20 citations in WillCo in the last year, though he isn't very subtle about his underage alcohol consumption, drug use, and overall just being a dumb while he's intoxicated. Anyway, he may be the exception to the rule but I tend to stay as far away from WillCo as I can when I'm going to be partying in the A.

You can get anything in Austin at 2AM. And I mean anything.
