When I told Matt I've never drank Shiner Bock beer, he decided that needed to be corrected, so this weekend he picked us up a twelve-pack. Last night we cracked it open, and as we sipped our beer we tried to recount all of the movies we've watched recently that were either set or filmed in Austin, Texas. A Scanner Darkly and Sin City were the first to come to mind, and, of course, Grindhouse, which if I recall correctly actually featured an appearance by the beer in question.
Matt and I have never been to Austin, but we both want to go there. We actually considered attending this years SxSW festival, but those tickets are still too rich for our blood. One way or another, though, I'm sure we'll make it down there before too much longer, where we can see if it's as comfortable and laid back a city as we expect it to be. We've even discussed the possibility of moving there eventually, if it feels like a good fit. From what I can tell, it's got the hip, urban feel we crave, it's a good place to be a creative type, and it's only a day's drive to get from there back home to our extended families. I could even see us settling into one of these awesome Austin Condos in a few years, especially if kids never enter the picture. As much as we'd both like to eventually own a house, I could also totally be happy with a condo, what with the whole "no yard work" factor.
It's probably jumping the gun a bit to start planning our future life in Austin, but even so, it's definitely on our domestic "must visit" list. As for moving it to our "been there" list, just give us another year or two.
