You might or might not know this, but what is the electronic music scene in Austin?

@benjamings

Music scene all around is quite robust. Specifically electronica... I cannot say. But I imagine it would be better than most places.

[benjamings]

Very helpful. Thank you. Did any of the negative things you mentioned changed since you uploaded this video?

@benjamings

I can't say really, I moved to Colorado 4 years ago.

I'm someone that speaks perfectly good English, and knows enough about Austin to make a video on it. It's funny that you're hating on gays when Austin is the gay capital of the south. Only SF is more known for its acceptance of homosexuals.

I'll put that into a language you can understand; you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

Heh, Zilker is a cesspool of homelessness, drugs, and gangs. Barton Springs is great if you want to swim in 60 degree water full of trash.

Lakes are everywhere in the US. Austin has lakes! Big deal.

Loved the "Fußgängerzone" comment you made. I am from Germany :-)

Thanks for your honest opinion. I'll very probably be starting my PhD there in UT at August 2012.
