AUSTIN, TEXAS

[HATE!]

I guess I'll put it out there that my buddy Theron's new band The Greater Good is playing at Lovejoy's sunday at 8:00. I haven't personally heard them yet, but I'm sure you can bang your head to it.

Theron who used to be in The Roller?  Hahaha!  I know that dude!  We're not friends or anything, but he used to kick it with my friends Amy and Becca regularly.

Well I missed linking up with any of you guys. Also didn't skate at all except some curbs in a parking lot of a hotel for about ten minutes.

Anyway had a pretty great time down there and hope everyone else did. Very glad to be back in NY though just in time for the spring.

Austin is a hoot, glad you had a good time. I only made it to one SxSw event and spent the whole time on the ramp instead of partying. 2 extensions, 1 with pool coping, a channel, and a bank-wall. Couldn't step away. If you come out next year try to work shredhouse into your schedule, it's well worth it.

@ HATE!, you didn't happen to be at SideBar by any chance did you? the one across from Beauty Bar.

Nah, I was at Scoot Inn, Longbranch, 1808, Red 7, Jackelopes and Lovejoys.  Mostly the first three though.

Anyone know where this spot is in Austin?

Dudes...

I will be in Austin from this Monday the 16th until Friday the 20th. Heading back to NYC that evening.

I'll be in work related stuff/training from 9:00am until 3:00pm. I definitely want to skate.

Just coming off a knee injury, so not looking for too heavy a session, want to keep it way chill. I'll be staying at the Driskill Hotel on Brazos street, wherever the fuck that is. I know nothing about Austin.

Can someone please recommend a good park, I'm not too tranny inclined having spent a lot of time in NYC (no, I'm not a pant-roller)?

If anyone can offer some advice I'd be psyched. Thanks.

Sorry for the bump. Just got into UT as a transfer student. Moving here from Long Beach in Fall. Looking for anyone with leads on an apartment or needs a roomate around that time. Leads on jobs, suggestions on good areas to look for places, or you can tell me to fuck off and I'll understand. I know this site isn't craigslist but I can't leave any stones left unturned. Thanks in advance!

1st off, welcome to Austin. Depending on your taste there are some cool areas near the UT area. I like the North Loop neighborhood, just a couple miles north of the campus. It's a little hipster'ish but there's a cool little skate shop there (Apparition), usually lots of pretty girls strolling around, and rent was reasonable last time I looked. I'd say stop by the shop, let them know you're new to town and ask about spots. Just a short drive from the shop there's the Patterson park mini-ramp and some fun ledges in the park across the street. Pretty much the rule in any new city is go to the shops and ask around.

If you ever find yourself up in the NW area stop by Hobo's Skate Shack in Cedar Park. Also a group of really stand-up dudes. Just steer clear of TekGnar. Fuck that place.

When I was going to scout the city before moving here I actually found a lot of promising housing shares on craigslist. I think noting in my add that I was a skateboarder helped filter the responses so the ones I did get were more on my level.

Good luck man. Austin is a rad place with a great skate community, tons of good spots, and several sick parks.

Thanks for the tips, man, Ill look into North Loop. Pumped to hear that the skate scene is healthy there. So excited to become a regular in a place other than the typical SoCal park/spot.
