^ I've been living here in ATX for 4 years now (from NYC) and couldn't agree more. Sure, it has a traffic problem that for the most part, in my opinion, can be avoided and yes, "old Austin is quickly and sadly being erased." (nothing stays the same no matter where you're from) But, like freakpelican said, there's a lot of amazing live music, and if you like being outdoors, has a killer hike and bike trail not to mention the surrounding hill country.
I've spent the past 4 years wishing I'd moved here years ago.
- freakpelican, hit me up man, I'll buy ya a welcome back taco and live oak.GM278
- Love Austin. It's pretty, fun, and rarely boring...unless you're looking for arts and culture...in which case, just drive up to Dallas.MondoMorphic
- ^True. One of an extremely small list of things I miss about NYC is the galleries & museums.GM278
- I am kinda escaping the Dallas art scene at the moment, its nice to get away from "those people" for a bit.freakpelican

how was the city before as compared to how it is now?
- Before it's was a old, hot and sleepy town, then cool old crap was torn down and rebuilt. Now it's a brand new city that is hot and sleepy.robotron3k

I was born here, i have lived most of my life in Texas. Everyone from here hates on all of the Cali imports. The city loathes the music festival crowds. It's hillarious to me bc it brings millions of dollars of revenue monthly.
Music is king here. Everyone is working for a startup and it seems like no one is from here, at all.
Its beautifu herel, so much to do outside. It's only boring if you are boring.

Hope you enjoy traffic, it's the same every day :)
- I dont need to drive, I bike from my place to the founders apartment. Other then that i just get to a coffee shop each day.freakpelican
- Haven't had to deal with traffic as an issue for years now. I can't imagine ever going back to commuting.freakpelican
- hope to get to that point someday—anywhere :D fuck commutingjaylarson

I may be going there for Memorial weekend.
If not, Dallas is only 3 hours away, let me know when you're around.

Any lead on a small batch printer/letterpress would be much appreciated. Someone that would be cool with me coming and talking some ideas out that i'm not sure how yet to properly manufacture.
