I just spent some time looking at austin websites and man, I miss that city. magnolia cafe, south congress, monkey see monkey do parties in the back room, guero's, momo's, the lucky lounge, driving 360 to see the sunset, parties at Lee's house, shows at the backyard, stubb's bbq, hippie sandwiches at shady grove, eeyore's birthday party, and in

Just remember what you have there in Syracuse. The grass always looks greener on the other side, but once you get there it isn't greener. I bet you had lots of times by yourself without anyone around and now you have Tim. Love him and stop looking backwards. Always look forwards.

oh, I know what I have here.. trust me...otherwise I wouldn't be here...

and I don't think it's bad to look back once in a while... as long as you don't get caught up in it.

this made me cry! i miss austin, too.

[ophelia99]

it makes me feel good to know that someone else (that I know personally) loves that damn city as much as I do. It's so strange because I only lived there a little over a year but in that time it just really got in my heart. I don't know.. it just feels like home, you know?

i was only there for seven months and i still feel like i left a chunck of my body. i've never lived anywhere for more than two years of my life, and until i found austin, no place has ever felt like home to me. i miss it.

I've only been to Austin once, and that was for a Science Fiction Convention called ArmadilloCon, I think in 1982. It was fun! I remember one room party where George R.R. Martin read from parts of his (then) new book, The Armageddon Rag. My wife painted her face and dressed as a vampire, caftan and all, and I wore normal clothes aside from a bloody neck, and we went walking "the strip" of jam-packed sidewalks well after midnight, amusing the drunken latenight clubbing gawkers. We still chuckle when we remember that... ah the fun of being 21, drunk, high, dressed funny, and in a strange city far far from home...
