All About Austin
So here is where we can all gather and share. Are you in Austin? Near Austin? Want to move to Austin? :) Want to visit Austin?
Jump on in! |
I've never been to Austin! What's it like?
*hugs* cara |
Hey Cara! It's a great town. There's literally ALWAYS something to do (not that I do that much.) The BF crowd here is really tight. There are parties and game nights etc. We go out for dinner every now and again.
Climate is ...well...Texan. Blistering hot in the summer but gorgeous fall and spring. Winter can get chilly but never down in the really nasty cold. And it's situated in a great spot. 1.5 hours to San Antonio. 3 hours to Dallas. 7 hours to New Orleans. You can get to the beach at Galveston in a few hours as well. Museums, great food, parks, people and of course the music. If you are a music fan, Austin really is the live music capital of the world. :) |
Well, I must admit, I've been to Austin more times than I can count, I hella heart Austin and am so glad that it's only 3 1/2 from Houston!
Austin ~ great food, fabulous people, and always a rockin' time... and the cheap drink specials on 6th Street don't hurt at all :D We must not ever forget BEVO and the University of Texas ~ where burnt orange runs through veins! Not to mention, Austin is 30 minutes away from San Marcos.... which has the BEST outlet mall I've ever been too! **my personal service announcement for Austin, and I don't even live there** |
wow! sounds great. i would not do well with the heat, but it sounds like a really cool place with a fab b-f community. :)
|
Hello from this Austin, Texas native....I got to The Planet as soon as I could! ;)

We've been to Austin a few times. Went to Pride there last year (surprised it was a small Pride) but liked the downtown area. Saw the bats! That was a sight. Won't be moving there because we love to the ocean too much to leave here but will be visiting Austin again in the near future. My gf eyeballed that Mall you were talking about. So far I've managed to stay on the Freeway and keep driving past it. :)

Hey everyone. I was born and raised in Austin and I love it.... probably too much! I have lived in Iowa and Georgia, both for only 6 months each. I got home sick and came back. The thing I love about Austin is the diverse population we have here. The museums, the artists, the music, the attractions that come here, kayaking, the lakes, everything! The surrounding areas have quite a bit of things to do as well.
