Destination Texas
Southwest Airlines Spirit
(April 2006)
"The State Capitol. The University of Texas. The Live Music Capital of the World. However you know Austin, you know you love it. Full of energy and buzz, the city is growing fast. Yet it still has that laid-back feeling-like nothing is so urgent you can't sit down under the trees with a cold beverage and just work it all out."
Austin: No Limits
The Kansas City Star
(May 21, 2006)
"Still, it's not hard to find pockets of the old Austin, the place that made it such a joy to visit. The restaurants and bars along Sixth Street downtown are still crowded after dark. Threadgill's still serves a mean chicken-fried steak. And thousands of bats still darken the sky as they come out from under the Congress Avenue Bridge each evening."

The Seven Wonders of the World-Music
The Globe and Mail (Toronto, ON)
(April 22, 2006)
"With a true Texas disdain for false modesty, Austin has registered a trademark on the phrase, 'Live Music Capital of the World.'...This is the spiritual home home of the outlaw tendency in American roots music, characterized by Willie Nelson and Townes van Zandt, who lived here."
Elle Decor Goes to Austin
Elle Decor
(May 2006)
"As the site of the State Capitol and the University of Texas, Austin draws an educated, active, and creative yet laid-back populace. The locals support progressive politics, bohemian stores, a wealth of restaurants, and, most of all, live music. As Austin's population has skyrocketed, it's not only become easier to get here, it's also acquired a sharper edge of sophistication."
The Hip Strip
Houston Chronicle
(April 30, 2006)
"Look left and there's a woman strapping a stuffed bunny to the back of her exasperated mutt as her friend snaps a picture. Look right and there's a group of local musicians donning marching-band hats with giant yellow plumes. A clerk from a nearby store walks out, takes in both scenes, shrugs and goes back inside. It's just another Saturday morning on South Congress Avenue in Austin, where shopping is not just an outing, but an experience."
