Luckily, I've never heard a conversation like that. And I do own several t-shirts from the Arboretum Target!
that there's funny. if i could afford to live out there, Arboretum lifestyle wouldn't be terrible as long as i didn't have to go east of Mopac.
i heard a couple at z'tejas that my wife and i just gave each other at "WTF world do these people live in?" look without saying a word.

Add Portland to the list of cities with stranger, more liberal, hippified people.
And honestly, NYC.
There are more legitimate weirdos in a single subway car in NYC than a whole city block in Austin.

I thought about saying something too.
That being said, I almost always agree with you on all things Austin. It's pretty absurd to say Austin is one of the worst places to live in Texas...really? Crime is low, tons of stuff to do, college town, clean city, downtown nightlife, tons of music and music festivals.

the one that come to mind right now is that we were out in the arboretum for something and my wife wanted to run by target. so we did. we separated and as i was looking at men's clothes, two gentlemen were commenting on how they felt all the superhero men's underwear were to gender specific. It escalates to them talking to the manager about not carrying Wonder Woman men's underwear is denying gender roles.
I'd be annoyed too, but if you are that sensitive to hearing something like that once in a blue moon, then you must be hard to please. Yes there are plenty of liberals and hipsters here, but you learn to laugh at them rather than get bitter and upset.

oh no there's laughter for sure. i'm not hard to please at all and the only "anger" i have with Austin is their inability to make i35 moveable between 7-9 AM and 3-7 PM. the toll fixes that for the most part.
don't get me wrong, we go to austin regularly and there's a TON to do. it's great for a visit.
i mean... i live in Temple, literally the sleepiest town along 35, so i have no room to make fun of anything, when Austin is obviously a vibrant town growing for the right reasons. i can still laugh at the pretentiousness of it when i'm in town.

It is fun to laugh at them. The 20-something single hipster guys with ironic mustaches, skinny jeans, vibrantly colored socks, vests, pocket watches, bowties, and 1920's work boots are the best for that. I saw a guy with a monocle once. In a bar. He was bearded and wearing a skinny 3-piece suit with a pocket watch chain and a monocle. A monocle! My wife puts it like this: "You can FEEL their try-hardness in the air like electricity or a breeze. They exude try-hard. Their level of anxiety at all times over whether or not they are at every moment being perceived as "cool" clouds the room so thickly you can almost touch it."

There's a lot of everything in NYC and it depends on where you are in the city. I've never been to Portland

These people are the worst. I normally don't care what someone else is doing, but they are trying so hard to be seen and be hip it spills over. Their made up/manufactured culture is a joke.

I mean, it doesn't surprise me that an Aggie is shitting on the town.
Oklahoma University alums/fans do the same thing (cuss Texas, say it's full of figs and whatnot), but they think Dallas is Nirvana because they move there in droves.
It all boils down to the inferiority complex stemming from Okies and the Dust Bowl, and aggies attending a school known as a hotbed of homosexual repression and its longtime status as a military school outpost, with its "us against them" ultra-paranoia mentality.

Austin got nothing on Boulder

Flying from LAX to MSY last week and a guy on the plane had a god damn top hat on. With mustache of course.
So I don't think there is much need for an adjustment once we get to Austin.

yeah, just go hangout in the Bywater or Marigny if you want to get a head start on what to see.

Ya, I was happy with the options it has. Having a good airport is important to me, and while we didn't end up at a big one in Dallas or Houston (options we didn't take), being between an American and United hub and not beholden to either is kind of nice too.
actually adding around 10 terminals pretty soon I believe. you can Google the timeline

I imagine that is "Gates" not "terminals" right?
Good news though, thanks I'll check it out.

Austin Hipsters are trying so hard to be different that they all seem to end up looking the same.
