Eleven Reasons Austin is Kick-Ass

1. There is a brilliance to downtown, especially when it shines through a hazy November night.

2. T-Shirts and shorts are not-irregular accoutrements in December.

3. How many different shows could I go to on a weekly basis in Madison, WI? 10-12. How many shows can i go to in Austin on a nightly basis? 10-15. Sweetness!

4. Bats under a bridge - fuck yeah!

5. Did I mention muthafuckin' shorts in mothafuckin' December!

6. Hungry around bar time? Walk down the street, towards the nearest mobile cart to burritos, pizza, veggie dogs, gyros and various other moderately overpriced delights all from the comfort of your boozy swagger.

7. The drive time from Madison to the Gulf Coast is approximately 23 hours. The drive time from Austin to the Gulf Coast is approximately 3.5 hours. Once those oil balls dissipate, its time for some serious coastal action.

8. You get a free gun when you buy a hundred dollars worth of booze (just kidding Austinians!).

9. Pizza made with beer in the crust!

10. Because to my difficulties navigating in new places - perhaps due to my easy directional disorientation (yes, I was one of those kids that made the L and backwards L in school) - I appreciate cities with street layouts and names that make sense: one of these being Willie Nelson Boulevard!

11. Terror Tuesdays at the Alamo Drafthouse!
