Austin, TX v. Portland, OR


            Some weird new friends from Austin, TX have thrown down the gantlet; challenging Portland for the crown of weirdness.  Now I haven’t been to Austin in quite a while, but I must say that I’ve never had a bad time in Austin, TX. The beer is good, although it’s Texas Style. They know how to make music and the food is pretty good. I even like their movies – Slackers (1991) is my favorite. They invented the slogan "Keep Austin Weird," but hey, we stole it fair and square. And they are in Texas; which is pretty weird…but to challenge the queen city of weirdness, Portland, OR for the title.  Come on you silly Texans.

            Well the results are in…from our new friends at www.sparefoot.com.  I think they are from Austin so the results speak for themselves.
Portland vs. Austin weird



Like I said, the results speak for themselves. Better luck next time, Texas, although they certainly have their good points and a vacation in Austin, TX sounds pretty good right now…before it gets too hot.  Who’s next? Missoula, MT?
