I live in New Zealand, but many years ago I was a serious fan of Jerry Jeff Walker. So Austin looked like an interesting topic to take a look at. Is Jerry Jeff still around?

We'll be opening a Jerry Jeff Walker topic in our music conference. He made his home in Austin in '71, after leaving New York. He's 53 and his just released his 27th album called Scamp on Tried and True Music.

Hello. My husband and I currently live in San Francisco, but are seriously considering a move to Austin. We've heard great things about it. San Francisco is nice, but it's way too expensive (our rent is unbelievably high and buying a home is OUT OF THE QUESTION), way too crowded, and, believe it or not, too cold for us. I'm originally from Bakersfield, he's from Tucson, and I lived in Phoenix for 2 years, so this foggy, chilly summer weather is not cutting it. We're looking for a laid-back, friendly,
warm place to live where the cost of living is not too high and the people are intellectually stimulating. Sounds like Austin fits that bill. Plus, with a baby on the way, we have to consider schooling for the future. Anyone have any input? I have tons of questions, but don't want to take up too much space this time :).

find something *not* to do in Austin, there is just *so* much going on. Have you
picked up a Chronicle and an XL? And don't feel alone, there are 100 new folks

Hey everyone
I am a senior in highschool - from Maryland. Next year I am going to go to college in Austin. I have been accepted to both St. Ed's and Southwestern. Havn't decided which one yet. I am excited about being in Austin though - I have lots of relatives there and have visited often. I love the town.
Anyways I hope to talk to you all again. I'd love any helpful info you could give me on the town.

Welcome! I'd go for St Ed's. I know several folks who've gone there who really like it. It's in
South Austin on Congress av and the campus is really nice. It's on a hill and it's a real monument for
South Austin. (South Austin is sometimes referred to as the locale for the beer drinkin', pickumup
drivin' blue collar bubbas as opposed to the wine drinking, BMW driving, white collar North Austin
yuppmeisters). But don't be mislead by stereotypes. South Austin is a great place. I can get you
email addresses of folks at St. Ed's if you need them.

I MISS AUSTIN!!! so much it breaks my heart. Attended UT 81-85, then after med school (Dallas) quit my residency to return to my beloved Austin 89-93. London is my soul, my being, but Austin is my heart. So what am I doing back in Dallas? Long story. Looking to relocate, tho, and while I can't do Austin again (I'm too old to live in the squalor that those low wages necessitate), I'm looking into Denver/Boulder: on visits ther I've been impressed with how closely they approximate that uniquely Austin
ambience. Plus they lack those hellish Austin summers (hey, I lived 4 yrs in an unairconditioned dorm!)...tho there are those chilly winters to consider. Anyway, I visit as often as I can (caught the 37th street light fest last Dec! Way cool!) and dream of it all the rest of the time.

Hi, I'm Kel. I'm currently living in St. Louis and am hoping to move down there
by August if all goes well. For a long time various people said I would love
Austin. I was/am looking to get out of the MidWest, but I had a certain criteria
of the place I wanted to move to. On everyone's advice I took a weekend trip
down there, and the one day I actually spent in Austin I fell in love with the city.
St. Louis is a good, clean town, but offers very lil outdoor activity. All the rivers,
lakes, preserves, hills, and the incredible amount of trees made my eyes soar
with delight. For the first time I felt at home somewhere. Change is good, and I
understand that there is a lot going on in Austin. Austin is not a city in Detroit or
Chicago terms with cement walls and pollution in every direction. Austin seems
to be a community that built itself around a beautiful environment and as long as
people hold on to that idea as they look towards the future then the future will
be good.

I'm originally from St. Louis Kaellie and am glad I made the move down to Austin.
My only remaining relative in St. Louis is Barney Ebsworth, who runs one of the
fastest growing businesses in town and has a hand in travel and shipping. Have you
ever hear of his company, Intrav? (used to be International Travel Advisors). They're
out of Clayton.

I have many good memories of my Bayless High days in St. Louis. There are some good things
about St. Louis, and nothing compares to the bluffs along the Mississippi River near Alton, Illinois
just north of town. And St. Louis definitely has Austin beat in sports, art museums, zoos,
and perhaps some other areas. But for sheer excitement and stimulation, it's Austin all the way.

He's right--Austin's the greatest. I went to UT, then had to go away for med school (why won't they set one up in Austin?!) but came running back as quick as I could. Now I'm in exile in Dallas, but visit whenever I can. You've probably already done so, but be sure to check out our restaurant and other topics in this conf--you'll be busy for months on our suggestions alone! And any questions about this fair city, just ask. There's an answer here somewhere!

I'm responding to your request for POSTS to test your T1 connection.
It's been so long since I was at the Spring I forgot my password.
I think I used to log on as "Sharky", but the password is a mystery.
So I logged on as Sharky2. If you can restore the old login and password
e-mail me with the information, don't forget to delete Sharky2 as a login
ID if you do.
I visited with you once or twice in VP land. You were thinking of getting
an Austin Healey at that time I think. Anyway, the '63 Mark II I have
is running great, (OK, it smokes a little and needs an overhaul, eh eh eh).

Hello Austinites!!
My wife & I are in the process of relocating to your city for the first time. We are Canadians living in Calgary, Alberta (east of the imponent rockies). Calgary is a beautiful live city but we are excited about the change. We visited Austin a few weeks ago and loved it, the heat was kinda hard to swallow at first but we were born and lived early in our lives in the tropic so we figure it'll just be a matter of time to adapt to it. Presently, we are looking at renting an apartment in the NorthWest par
of town (close to my new workplace) - Balcones, Jollyville or in that area. We are hoping to start making some contacts on this right away so perhaps someone has any suggestions or people in the apartment rental business that we can talk to.
Cheers everyone and enjoy the heat!!
Ito.

Summer are rough here, but spring and fall are wonderful, and the winters usually mild.

I grew up in the frozen north. I got out at the first opportunity, moved here in 1980, and stayed. To this day I can't figure out why anyone with any intelligence would want to live up there. I mean: how could it be more harsh? there is a 130-140 degree temperature variation between winter and summer. They use so much salt on the roads that most cars rot out shortly after they are paid for. They also have a state income tax. To top all else, more serial killers come from a 10 county area in southeastern W
sconsin, than anywhere else in the country.

Yes, " here ", is Austin. The short list of serial killers living in SE Wisconsin while I was there: Ed Gein, Richard Speck, Lori Dann, Jeffrey Dahmer. There were others, but these were the most famous. Jeffrey loved his neighbors; he loved them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Of course, I believe in knocking off a good bowl of cereal myself every now and then, however I prefer cold pizza for breakfast. Cold pizza and beer, breakfast of champions. Hello Everyone!

OK... I've officially had it with New England! The weather sucks and I've had a sinus infection for 2 weeks from all the derned pollen (damn those oversexed bees).

I want to come home, and home is the southwest. Austin, due to familiarity, and Santa Fe, due to sheer beauty are top on the list. Granted this is the 'pre-think' to actually getting the locomotion going to make a move.

It's WAY expensive to move cross country. I'd need to have a home rented and waiting. I have a dog and 2 cats, not an easy hurdle for finding a rental, though my pets have always been very well behaved apartment dwellers both in NewYork and Massachusetts. I would love to rent a house (2 bedroom minimum) to avoid the 'shared wall syndrome'.

Any helpful hints?

Terry,

You're a regular goldmine of goodies! Not to mention a sweetie.

Unfortunately it's a long slow process to co-ordinate a move... especially with my work requirements. I work for Siemens. I'm a teleworker, which means there is no M & L for relocation anymore. We have to pay for our moves, including reinstallation costs of our 'work' lines (1 S-DSL and an ISDN link).

Should I actually make it out that way are the appropriate telco facilities available from the CO in the area of your cottage?

Don't be surprised if a year down the road I come knocking at your door ;-)

I moved to Austin about 20 years ago. I was on the way to Houston to visit
my mom and sister. My white Dodge van broke an axle. There were no places
open who had this part since it was about 8 oclock at night. So I walked
around the neighborhood and happened on a place called the Armadillo World
Headquarters. It was a vine covered outdoor beer garden with a mural
bedecked music hall and what a night that turned out to be. The Talking
Heads were playing with another great band, I think it might have been the
B-52s. I have the gig poster framed and hanging in my living room at the
Quail Creek house. The music, the people I met that night, and the
wonderfulness of this town hooked me and I've been there ever since (except
for one sojorn to California). It's been two decades filled with amazing
adventures and experiences.

Hey, Koti, thanks for helping out!

Still waiting to hear from Kaylene. Hope she's back from the wedding today.

Maybe we can troubleshoot this on our own.

I'm not in Austin right now, but I will arrive shortly. I left 2 years ago to join the ranks of dot-com armies in New York. I'm hoping to move my life back to Austin within the year. Unless I receive an offer I can't refuse, I suspect it will happen sooner rather than later. Hi Terry, thanks for having me here.

Been a few months since I've checked into the Spring. I've made in back to Austin from NY, and I'm looking for work. In the past I have worked as a writer, editor, webmaster, and paralegal.... I am competent in all of those areas. In an ideal world, I am looking for a position to further my efforts in these fields, but I'm quite flexible. Any leads welcome.

I'll see if I can toss you some. It's kind of a tough market right now but you've got some diverse skills.

How is going with your job search? I know you signed up with ryze.org today and that seems like a great place to network for a gig. Or just meet some other professionals with common interests.
