When It Comes to Live Music, Austin Has No Limit
Miami Herald
(September 10, 2006)
"When you plan a trip to Austin, you need to prepare yourself for a musical overdose... [Austin is] the capital of Texas but it calls itself the Live Music Capital of the World. And it isn't just one sort of music. Austin has blues, country, old-school rock, industrial/goth, a healthy group of cover bands playing up and down Sixth Street and even electronic DJs."
Austin: The Best Little City in America
National Geographic Traveler
(November/December 2006)
"Dancing arm in arm is an American cross-section: rednecks in cowboy hats, new-agers in Birkenstocks, tattooed twenty-something hipsters, preps in pink polo shirts. The men are men, and the women are women, swirling, twirling, beaming, moving with the simple, unbridled joy of music....Austin is known as the nation's mecca of live music. But after soaking up the nightlife---and discovering other attributes of this funky state capital---I'd go further: Austin, I'm here to say, is the best little city in America."

Secrets of the Texas Hill Country
Endless Vacation
(September/October 2006)
"Long before resident artists and musicians made Austin one of the hippest cities in America, the Hill Country was settled by a different wave of Bohemians...The Hill Country has become a major destination for food and wine enthusiasts, a rustic bonanza of organic growers, vineyards, and sophisticated restaurants. Even more to our taste, a strong culture of traditional cookery is alive and kicking."
It's a Latina Nation: Austin, Texas
Latina
(October 2006)
"Austin is a laid-back city some have labeled as weird. One thing is for sure: Austinites are an accepting people, whether that means embracing other's eccentricities or cultura. Today, of the city's 650,000 residents, 30 percent are Latino. While Mexican-Americans make up 77 percent of those Latinos, Texas's capital city has a strong Central and South American contingent, too."
