|  | Welcome to the Live Music Capital of the World! I kicked off my Texas tour in Austin and was charmed by this laidback, small-town feel city. Austin is also known as a hippy/slacker town, and I soon found out that Austinites are very proud of their city's "weirdness" and do their best to entertain the myth, which makes Austin such a fun and unique place. It also has a pretty large student population and everything is really cheap, which makes it a perfect destination for young people traveling on a tight budget (that's me!). |

We don't have much time in Austin, drat no bats, but sounds like there's plenty to see with the little time we have :-) | Nemorino Fri Jul 18, 2008 21:31 UTC
Everybody who goes to Austin seems to like it a lot, and I see you are no exception. I enjoyed reading your informative and enthusiastic tips! | austinstace Thu Jul 10, 2008 01:05 UTC
The tour is a blast but it doesn't start off at the Hideout Cafe anymore. The new starting place is from the Moonshine Patio Bar & Grill on East 3rd Street. The tour was a lot of fun and included just as much historical information as ghost stories. | KimberlyAnn Sun Feb 12, 2006 19:38 UTC
It was interesting to hear your impressions of Kerbey Lane Cafe. I am not big on shopping, but I love places like the Tesoros Trading Co. that you described. Interesting pages. |
