So I'm transferring to Austin, TX

Why does it seem that most Racketboy regulars either live in Michigan or Texas?

Cause us Michiganders and Texans are awesome! Speaking of which..us Michiganders need to meet up again!

Totally! I'll be in the state until the third week of August, so maybe Michigan's Racketeers could arrange a meetup sometime this summer?

[Blu]

I say yes! Where would we consider as a meet-up?

state pride.

There's a lot of that around this state.

I will never get back that year of history class devoted ENTIRELY to TX State History. What a joke

Blegh. Sauce Barbecue.

Them's fightin' words.

I was taught that if your barbecue needs sauce, you can't cook. End of story.

That's why I balk everytime someone says Blackies is the best barbecue in Lockhart.

I would agree! Detroit has a great barbecue place that requires no sauce, but is provided at the table if needed. Many people who say you need barbecue sauce are the same who are afraid to eat, "The Burnt Parts," of a good brisket.

if you are moving to austin and you like mexican food and eggs, then you NEED to eat migas. you NEED to!
last time i was there, kirby lane had decent migas. but really, go to a real taqueria and order migas. just do it!

Austin is great! The traffic is super annoying but other than that, it's one of my favorite places. I live in San Antonio, a couple hours south, but I get up that way whenever I have a decent excuse. Enjoy!

Thanks for all the tips- can't wait to start eating!

Lived in Michigan forever, moving to Austin for the school of RTF (as it seems every single other transfer is doing). I know a lot of you are from around there, got any sage advice on places to eat/visit/hike? Also totally looking for a place to live, so if you know of anyone with shared space, I'd really appreciate being put in touch with them.

protip: don't get stabbed
