Apart from Austin apparently, an oasis.


You have to get thru an awful lot of the rest of it to get to Austin.

I know I'm being a bit regionally stereotypical here, but Texas just seems to sprout the worst that America has to offer... Enron, George W. Bush, this jaw-dropping story...


I've been to Austin and I liked it a lot - but Houston didn't have enough going for it to make any of us want to stay for more than one night. There still seemed to be quite a preponderance of redneck attitudes, particularly amongs the men, and that's in a medium-sized city - so fuck knows what small-town Texas must be like in that respect.

Reading that book about the 13th Floor Elevators, the amount of harassment and intimidation and harassment they received from the police even in Austin would have been on a par with an Eastern Bloc country before the collapse of communism. It seems to have come on a fair way since then mind.
