So I've heard. I'm sure I'd come home in a pine box, though. With a smile, but still dead. Of course, Austin is cool -- some of it is college students (firm 22-year-olds abound) but there's also older women who are single waiting for Mr. Right or having had Mr. Oh-So-Wrong exit. People "work and play hard" here and delay marriage and possibly kids well into their 30s. Austin: too hot. Lousy food, too (barbeque OK, but the rest of that Tex-Mex slop is SHIT.) No European cultural vibe. No large body of water. White-trashy. No fukkin way. - --Chris A. ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2003 11:51:23 -0500 (CDT) From: Amy Moseley Rupp Subject: Re: seven-seas swinging singles > Matt would say they are > women wearing comfort shoes (which I do, but I'm not attracted to > other women!). > > Birkenstocks...footwear of the damned. I won't wear those trendy yuppie DINK shoes. I wear Josef Seibel and Clarks and.....Springers. > Austin: too hot. Lousy food, too (barbeque OK, but the rest of that > Tex-Mex slop is SHIT.) No European cultural vibe. No large body of > water. White-trashy. No fukkin way. When was the last time you were here? Definitely no European cultural vibe, but some might consider that a plus ;-) Large body of water? HOW BIG? We have a big river that's dammed into several BIG fucking lakes with all the water amusement you want. The Gulf of Mexico coast is only 100 miles away, and the border with Mexico, complete with cheap hooch, drugs, and women, is about three hours' drive. Food? Shit.... there are LOADS of restaurants, not just Tex-Mex. Since the demise of my favourite restaurant I rarely eat it any longer. Had Indian food last night. Every cuisine you could want. WHITE-TRASHY?! You can't AFFORD to be white trashy here any more. If you have a doublewide, you gotta park it at least 30-40 miles from the centre of the city, maybe more. Things have changed radically in just the last five years! Austin is atop most quality-of-life, best-place-to-start-a-business, etc etc lists. Which makes more people move here! We've gone from 500,000 in the early 90s to well over a million metro now. Such an explosion that we are begging people to GO HOME if they make the slightest whine about Austin. You'd love SXSW, though. Come here once a year. The weather's great, it's not hot EVER then -- you risk cold, but nuttin like Boston. The only time I see white trash is when I go to WalMart (NOT SAYING EVERYONE THERE is white trash, but boy some of those folks.....). Need I say I avoid Wally World like the plague? ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2003 15:04:29 -0400 From: "Zap" Subject: RE: seven-seas OT swinging singles I'm 9 alright...
