Newsflash! Well it’s official… ol’ smurfco is moving to the Lone Star state

[smurfco]

I am going to be moving from CT to Austin Texas in February. Anyone here from around there??

 

[tiger roach]

Haw! Our weekend/holiday/eventually permanent place is in San Marcos, just a few miles down I35 from Austin. Let's have a beer or three.

 

[Gary Blanchard]

Wow, that's quite a move. I am sure you will help to keep Austin weird.

 

[bsman]

Mom finally kick you out of the basement?

You said "Texas" and my reflex was to say "Oh maaaann... I'm soooo sorry..."


But that said... Austin is supposed to be the nicest, least segregationist, of the cities you can live in in Texas... and according to Stevie Ray Vaughn and Eric Johnson... the music scene it pretty hot.


Let us know if it's safe to travel there.

The qualifiers you have to add when talking about Texas…

 

[Denverdave]

The Austin area is very nice. Congrats!

 

[Tralfaz]

Good luck. I'm in Austin frequently, but I don't live there.

All I can say is that Texas has some of the shittiest drivers on the face of the Earth. Watch out for assholes in oversized pickups and uninsured drivers in old Nissans with paper tags. I Am not kidding.

 

[Denverdave]

Watch out for assholes in oversized pickups

That summarizes Colorado driving as well.

My sister lived in Texas for a couple years... the first week they were there, they went for a family bike ride and the hard, thorny, shrubbery punctured two different tires of her kid's bikes.

Of course my response was "That's just a sign that humans aren't supposed to live there."

Yea she told me to tell you she misses her son

 

[Peen Simmons]

Wherein the universe messes with Texas, and Texas has no reply.

 

[Andrew Sak]

I have family down there. I believe its a fantastic place to live. I haven't been there yet. Great mountain biking too.

So does this mean the end of Radiohead ?

 

[smurfco]

I told the guys in the Radiohead tribute that I am happy to fly up and play anything we’ve got booked in the event that they are not able to get a replacement up to speed in time

Will you be smoking weed with Willie ?

Will you be smoking weed with Willie ?

Sure!

IIRC @jaxn slim lives in Austin.

 

[Honkridge]

God Dam you will love the Mexican food and the absolutely most beautiful women on the planet. You will also curse yourself for moving to a state with perhaps the shittiest state government of them all. And it's hot, God it's hot.
