If you haven't heard a thing or two about Austin in recent years,
crawl out from under your rock. In the early 1990s, Austin usurped Seattle's reign
as Hip Town, USA. As the 'Live Music Capital of the World,' Austin has hog-tied
its competition by hosting the annual South by Southwest music industry love-in
- as well as umpteen lesser known music fests - and become the de facto cultural
center of Texas, if not of the entire Southwest.
Austin has fewer developed tourist attractions than you'd expect
from so vibrant a city, and that's its real charm. Although the Texas State Capitol
is impressive and the city's museums shine, they're outclassed by Austin's natural
attractions: the natural pool at Barton Springs, the rolling green of Zilker Park
and the nightly flight of over a million bats from beneath Congress Ave Bridge.
Austin is a city for getting outside, getting busy and, when the day's done, getting
down with one of the 100 or so bands that jam here nightly. After a bellyful of
that famous mesquite BBQ, a few rounds of Celis beer and a couple days living the
Austin lifestyle, you'll be hard pressed to hold he locals' civic pride against
them.
