En Worlders from Austin TX

[Teflon Billy]

Hey Folks,

I migh be spending a month or so on set with my daughter in Austin TX, and was wondering if anyone here wanted to meet up for drinks/gaming etc?

Also, do I need a cowboy hat?

 

[Master of the Game]

I'm game, but leave the cowboy hat at home.

Austin may be IN Texas, but it definately isn't like most of the state.

Cool, if she gets the part, I'll email you

Shame about the "no hats" rule tho :\

 

[Mouseferatu]

I live here. Let me know when you're coming down.

And yeah, Austin definitely isn't representative of the state as a whole.

 

[DClingman]

Austin is perhaps the coolest city in the US, imo. Ari is an excellent host and does indeed know all the mariachi playing tex-mex places in town. What was that place called again? Mamma or something like that?

When you coming to Fl TB? Also the guy sent my module so I did not need it, but stop by the booth we will hook up for a few this year.

Alread been Used to live in Louisiana, and day-tripped over more than once.

Allright, will do. I think, from reading the comments in that guy's dealer feedback, that he was dishonest so much as flagrantly incompetent (and testy about it).

I prefer San Antone, myself. Still, Austin is a decent place as well, although as a native of the Bryan/College Station area and a holder of two degrees from Texas A&M University, I naturally can't praise it too much. It is odd, though, how un-Texan Austin is in a lot of ways. You may actually stand out if you wear your Justin Ropers, starched and pressed Wranglers (with the chaw ring in the back-pocket, of course) and your big hat, unlike the rest of the state.

Wil Upchurch is from Plano, if I recall. I have a sister-in-law there, is why I remember. In fact, most of my family and in-laws both are still in Texas.

Hey, Tef, you should definately scope out Schlitterbahn if you get the chance too...

Have to agree with Joshua Dyal: prefer SA myself (then again, I virtually live next-door to the dang ol' place). Not like Austin, though--being a military town has definitely shaped it a certain way, IMHO.

Then again, Austin's a nifty place. Nifty places & people there. Freebird's is nice (never heard of the place `til a few friends from Austin took me there--quite nice for a snack).

And, there's a particular phrase on a few t-shirts from the area that, well, sums up some people's feeling about the town:

Keep Austin Weird.

Nevertheless, hope ya have fun while you're there.

 

[Mouseferatu]

Keep Austin Weird.

Sums up my own feelings about the place, too. But I (and most of us who live here, IME) consider "weird" a good thing.
