It was enough to tell you that town is fun as hell. I'd go there again in a heartbeat. I was in Austin for all of two or three days once. It was enough to tell you that town is fun as hell.

Tequila. On the rocks. No lime or salt needed. bp, I see you have perspective, unlike many of the people who rip on Texas. I'll still take the heat over the snow. I've heard of Angelo's, but never had the pleasure. I'm a Rudy's fan. (http://rudysbbq.com). They've got a few locations, so you've got to find one with a good pit-boss. Their sauce is the bomb. Truth is, it's hard to find bad bbq in Texas. Now, if I could just find the basement of the Alamo... mmmmmm. Tequila. On the rocks. No lime or salt needed.

Worth, made many a road trip to the big A. In fact, one of the best times I had was going there for South by Southwest (10 year anniversary, no less...) Seeing Iggy Pop and funkadelic with George Clinton; too many bands to name, really. the best part is, I was sent on someone else's dime to write for a magazine. So yes, Austin is an island of liberalism in a sea of shithead rednecks, but I still stand by statement for the most part. Don't get me started on the whole 'legal-to-carry' business. If you have to post signs telling folks NOT to bring their guns to town... well, that's just asking for shit. And yes, i prefer snow over swelter. And the best barbecue comes outta Angelo's. http://www.angelosbbq.com/ Trust me. Grew up next to Ft. Worth, made many a road trip to the big A.

I'll admit it's got a few too many hipsters (and they really like fixies), but other than that, it's a great town. You must have only been to 6th Street, that is a cesspool. There's only three good places to go on 6th: The Alamo - Ritz, Jackalope, and Casino El Camino (best burgers in town...) The rest of 6th blows. Outside of there, it's got lots of cool bars. Lots of good Mexican food. Best BBQ anywhere. Best swimming holes in the country. Prettiest women (no, not the vapid Dallas or Houston women). And it's legal for them to go topless, which they do at Barton Springs. Closer to Mexico than any other state. It's not in Texas. It's in Central Texas, which is the blue in a sea of red. You should come sometime. That is, unless you are afraid of the heat . Not that nice dry heat of the desert... Oh wait you're in Germany aren't you? It's still winter there isn't it? Too bad...

Wait that is Atlanta. Austin is awesome, except it is the Swamp Ass capital of the planet. Seriously, it is hotter than two rats fuckin' in a wool sock in the summer.
