> Austin has no culture. Austin is just a bunch of white people that went to school on mommy and daddy’s dime and decided to stay and open up a couple BBQ joints. It’s like a broke ass Portland.

I was fortunate enough to escape New Orleans about 12 hours before Hurricane Katrina made landfall in 2005. The drive on I-10 to Houston, normally 5 or 6 hours, took us 12. When we arrived, exhausted and scared, we looked around. Then we decided to drive another 8 hours to reach Austin.
