The austintacious city, in brief

My biggest complaint about the Austin trip is that it was faaaaar too short. Austin has a vibrant activist/artist flavor, small anarchist book stores like Monkey Wrench, the myriad projects under the Rhizome Collective umbrella, a world-class music scene, great places to swim, 2-step dance parties, and widespread open-mindedness.

Angel and M. Conti were both wonderful hosts/guides with fantastic senses of humor. It's so great to be making connections all over the U.S., taking advantage of the community building potential of the 'net and fostering good ol' fashioned face-to-face communication.
