Mornin Y’all!
The Healthy Hipster is on the road today…heading to AUSTIN, TEXAS of all places! A little while back one of my closest friends was going through some hard times and rather than let herself get any lower she decided to make a change. She packed up her books and a few sparce belongings and moved to a brand new city, in a brand new country to pursue a new kind of life for herself. While I’ve missed her terribly, I find it so dang inspiring that she did it in the first place I just can’t help but be supportive. And now I’m lucky enough to see her again while visiting a pretty cool city along the way…
Oh and just for fun Urban Dictionary defines the Austin Hipster as:
n. A pretentious, self-ironizing, cool person found in certain areas of Austin, Texas. The Austin hipster can be seen prancing around with a morose, pensive look on his face, while he’s secretly enjoying the urban experience. Aside from corrupting the music scene with his mere presence, this Central Texan herbivore also enjoys lounging around in coffee shops and writing poetry. This retro dork conceals the pride he has for whatever hipster shirt he’s sporting at the moment. While he considers himself a liberal, he’s actually supporting the system with his commercialized non-conformity.

Tacos, brunch and bbq sounds grand to me…haha.
Looking forward to reading about Austin! I MAY be heading there for SXSW this March, so I want the scoop!
So far: I have eaten tacos at every meal and its been divine. I’m way jealous of your SXSW plan but luckily this is free music week all over the city so I’m hopefully gonna get to check out some local bands without actually paying for them. What’s the concert equivalent of a FREEGAN? I’m pretty sure that would describe me… (aka I’m cheap) 😉
