Not Giving Out a FREE T-Shirt #trashyaustin

July 19th, 2009 Rex Dixon Leave a comment Go to comments

The last contest on here seemed to generate not many hashtag comments as well as not many participants, this one is just a simple question I have.

It seems like there are two sides of the fence to Austin, TX. One side loves the place, and the other side say it’s the most boring place on the planet. I have also read a tip that it’s not very good to visit in July/August.

My bud who is also known as Church Tongue said the few people from Chicago that has traveled to Austin, TX have told him that the place is not worth the time and is boring. The contention is that while it’s suppose to be some sort of mecca like music capital, it is also been said to only occur on one street down there (6th street from what I hear).

The question here is,”How do you feel about Austin, TX or rather do you feel Austin, TX is cool place to live/visit or does the place suck?” You can reply via twitter and the hashtag of #trashyaustin. It’s more fun if you use twitter to respond to this, and responses can simply be like this “cool, love the music, best city in the world #trashyaustin” – “sucks, I got robbed in Austin, safe in Chicago! #trashyaustin” – you know something short and sweet < 140 characters for twitter.

This time, I’ll even take the comments that are associated with a blog post right below. That’s fine – but rather would see this stream be taken to the hashtag of #trashyaustin on twitter.

Now of course since twitter is like porn sometimes with the < 140 character limit, if you leave a comment here on this post – feel free to be very detailed on why or why not Austin, TX.

Technically Speaking, while I am not giving away FREE T-Shirt this time, I would like to see some opinions!

You know I am going to say I like Austin. However, unlike most comments from others who are for or against I base my like on the fact that I have been to a hell of a lot other places to compare it with.
Austin has the best BBQ anywhere..Period,,end of that subject because I have been everywhere in the country where BBQ is suppose to be good and like Twitter Spam, all others fail compared to what they take out of REAL BBG Pits at the Salt Lick. Heck even the County Line lays down a mean BBQ sausage straight out of Fredericksburg where the German Texans know a little bit about cooking sausage and a WHOLE lot about the next thing Austin kicks ass over other places in the world.
Austin has the COLDEST Beer...it has to be coldest because it is so dam hot there in the summer and it is hot there, not just because it is Texas, to keep out all the people who don't like cold beer..whoever that might be.
Austin is a music mecca and yes it all is heard on one street...the street Stevie Ray Vaughn made famous...and in Texas we only need one street for music so we can put Mexican food restaurants on all of the rest of the streets around 6th Street...
But seriously, the area surrounding Austin is what Texans go to Austin to see or be part of...Texans just drive into Austin in the evening for the cold beer, music and BBQ. Most people who come to Austin from other states or countries like Oklahoma, usually just come into downtown Austin and try to hook up with the UT crowd..little do they know that the UT crowd usually hangs out at Lake Travis, West of Austin..where the coldest of the cold beer, tastiest BBQ and Loudest music is played all while floating around on the lake. Why?..because it if friggin Hot
Of course, I take all Austin has to offer from all the golf courses they have tucked around in those hills and of course I have to test the cold beer, BBQ and Music...can't be called a Texan unless you do..
So keep your others states claims to fame..I have more than likely been there and their claim is more lame than fame...so come on back down here and look around Austin...it's a pretty cool town..even though it is hot.
