Don't get me wrong, Austin's a cool place and has much to see and do. Cruisin the digs in and around 6th Street downtown is an entertaining adventure, kinda like the Deep Ellum area in Dallas, where all manner of music, bars, coffee houses, video bars and all types of bizarre and eclectic activities can be partaken of. One of the coolest things to me is that no matter how you dress, you'll fit right in :>P

If ya missed seein the bats nightly at-dusk exodus from under the bridge, that really is a trippy deal as they fly out in a single file line that eventually will stretch out as far as the eye can see!

In the warmer months one of the more adventurous pursuits is to check out Hippy Hollow, which is a secluded lake known for its free wheeling nudity and laissez-faire approach to partying preferences.

BTW, in a state where a serious effort is underway to allow public open carry of a side arm, yeah, we don't really get all that excited over a lil ol pocket knife ;>
