@txsrose333 What do you think NIWeek attendees should do while they are in Austin?

[atxag2010]

All of you who think austin is underwhelming... Thank god! Please leave the town I was born in cause your crowding the shit out of it!

@atxag2010 Usually they say it's the people who make a city worth visiting, but I guess in your case, the people are about as underwhelming as the city.

I visited Austin in May 2011 and absolutely loved it! I will be back. Love the live music, warm weather and lively atmosphere. Had the best steak ever in my life at Austin Land & Cattle!

@niglobal Go on a bike tour, not a segway (lol) tour first of all. We are the bike capital of the south!

@pboisei Coming out of the gate, it's lady. After 20 years I've given this town ample time to change my mind. Now I'm just too old and poor.

Bro the grass is always greener on the other side! life is what you make it, its not the city of austins fault you are unhappy. Try and be a little more positive...god bless and good look. : D

[gotch09]

@pboisei Why all the negativity? Because this town ain't all it's cracked up to be. And I hate this loser town. And of all the wrong choices I've made-moving here was a mistake of epic proportions that I'll always regret. If I wasn't living here, the ground could open up and Austin could slide on it. And I would give a damn. Yes, I am that bitter. Austin sucks hind tit.

@gotch09

Jesus christ man. why all the negativity?

[gotch09]

@aoiahiru Yeah, well I wasn't born here and didn't move here till the early 90's. I've told my children that if I kick the bucket while I'm living in Austin, please,please cremate me and carry my ass to the state line and pour me out. I may be stuck here in this lifetime, but I DO NOT want to spend my eternity here./ They can go north, south, east or west. My opinion of Texas in general, and Austin in particular is that negative.

@gotch09 i think one of the greatest misconceptions people have on austin is that they think it will measure up to a major city. and the way people describe it, it sounds like it is a "world class" city, but it's far from it. austin is an overgrown town. and what makes it special is the people, your friends, the vibe, easy living, night life and good food. there's so much in so little. you won't learn to appreciate it unless you have good friends.
