As I was sitting watching a band last night, I started thinking about Austin. I seem to know a lot of random things about Austin. I'm going to list them, but I didn't fact check anything, so believe at your own risk.

The 11 things I know about Austin:

1. There is a garden south of there by LadyBird Johnson focused on butterflies
2. The have bats under a bridge
3. They are home to Austin Typewriter, Ink - a typewriter collective and podcast group
4. Univ of Texas aka UT is there. It has some big balls sculpture on campus somewhere
5. They like to keep it weird
6. They have a party street whose name escapes me. It isn't Beale. It isn't Burbon.
7. There is that tech conference / music conference there. I forget its name also.
8. They have a small track train you can ride in the park.
9. Willie Nelson has a ranch not to far from Austin. There was a big music fest there last year. Or maybe 2 years ago. Or maybe every year.
10. My lovely friend Bronwen lives there. I haven't seen her in neigh on 10 years. Sad face.
11. The band Stackabones originated there, before they moved to Delaware-ish, so I can hear them on a random Saturday night.
