1. Welcome to Austin! (Don’t call it Texas)
2. It’s a magical place where your favorite Mexican food/hangover cure comes from Torchy’s
3. And you’re pretty much always starting to get tired of playing with your current band.
4. You can ride wherever you want, but you know the city needs more bike lanes.
5. You will step to anyone who equates queso with regular cheese.
6. No income tax + in-state gas + super cheap beer = your fat wallet.
7. Your Lone Star tallboy dependency may be getting a little out of hand...
8. It’s a never-ending struggle when your out-of-state friends are like, “What’s a Mopac?”
9. You feel like you’ve been waiting for it to rain forever...
10. You are pretty pumped about your new tech job… it’s way better than the last two.
11. On the other hand, you’re always raging against the machine.
12. This is you, when you realize you’ve started saying “Austin has changed, man.” A lot.
13. You are super proud of your new rescue dog, and all your friends know it.
14. While you love 6th Street, it usually leaves you like this...
15. You think it’s really important that we respect the environment.
16. Under no circumstances are you ever late to your yoga class...
17. You are not the weirdest looking person on your block...
18. Even though you’d kind of like to be.
19. When someone suggests going to Houston, you’re like...
20. And, even worse, if they say Dallas—seriously judging you.
21. I mean, the Longhorns are way more relevant than the Cowboys, amirite?
22. And if football isn’t your thing, there’s always South By.
23. Oh wait, you hate South By.
24. But you are definitely going to all the South By parties.
25. But still, you’re kinda bummed that all these outsiders are ruining everything…
26. Even though, odds are, you probably came from Brooklyn or SF yourself. Shh, keep that to yourself.
27. Sometimes it feels really lonely to be the blue dot in a red state...
28. It’s like the only other place you can go instate is Marfa.
29. And you have been seriously considering going to Portland.
30. But for now, you’d rather keep it weird right here in Austin.
