Pat... I got LOTS of family in Austin. My dad especially. 6th street is AWESOME!!!! Lots of partying to be had there. Great spot for the rock/blues/jazz/country music scene. My dad, step-mom, ex, and I went to 6th street a couple years ago and caught a one man show with a guy doing Van Morrison tunes as well as other tunes of similar style. Great little show. Great town. And in Dallas there's Deep Ellum and it's a lot like A-town but IMHO, A-town is better. I SOOOOOOOOOO can't wait to get home. Too much fun to be had there.
