I just came across a web site advertising the Browncoat Ball for 2008. It's been running for 4yrs now and Austin, TX is it's station for this year. It's description of Austin has me all a flutter!!!! :D
"Join The Austin Browncoats as we present your 2008 Browncoat Ball. We’re the new Silicon Valley in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, located dead-center in the most independent state in the union. Heck, it's the only state that ever was it's own country! Welcome to where the Old West meets the Final Frontier.
With a 50,000 student international university, the largest live-music scene in the country and attractions both all-natural and high-tech, Austin is the most exciting, yet laid back city in America. In every smoky dive bar and sunny street cafe you'll find dyed-in-the-wool good ol' boys and hardcore hippies. Steeped in and surrounded by the tradition and history of the great Republic of Texas, Austin is where cosmic cowboys from all over come to congregate and create. "
