About me: Austin, the heart of the Texas hill country, is one of the most lively cities to visit in the southwestern U.S. Whatever your musical preference, you will find rewards in the "Live Music Capital of the World". In Austin, there are dozens of low cost, live music shows every night of the year. In addition to its music and film leadership, Austin is well known as a progressive city that is young at heart, highly educated, and at the cutting edge of high technology. These attributes, placed on Austin's strikingly beautiful landscape, surprise and delight nearly every visitor to the city.

I'm here right now waiting for the AUSTIN TRAVEL CIRCLE meeting to begin. Austin Travel Circle is an open discussion group local to Austin, TX, USA. The mission of the group is to discuss travel of all kinds and to engage any travellers who may be visiting Austin. The discussions are lively and cover any aspect of travel the attendees care to bring up. The stories are fascinating and the people who lived them are even more so. The meetings are held on the first and third Mondays of each month.
