Austin

I went to another one of the meetups at the BTC Commons and had a great time; this should be fun!

Should we get a Farcaster meetup together before the holidays are upon us?
My buddy runs this Austin Creatives hangout: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/austin-professional-creatives-austin-creatives-social-club-holiday-2024-tickets-1095746048929
Could be cool to onboard some creative peeps.

Austin apparently now has 7 Michelin star restaurants. 

Of these I’ve only had one. Good excuse for some date nights with the wife soon. 

Have you tried any of these yourself?

HEB sponsored the 35th annual Feast of Sharing in Austin last Tuesday and the volunteers helped serve over 10,000 meals at the Palmer Event Center. If you haven’t volunteered here before, I highly recommend it. Way to go HEB!

Where are the best places to WFH in Austin? I’d like to assemble a directory for quicker reference when I need to leave the house. 

Factors I’m considering:
- Indoor/Outdoor/Both
- Reliable/Strong Wi-Fi
- Availability of outlets
- Coffee program
- Food program
- General atmosphere
- Multi-transit access

I would consider the strongest contenders to have:

Indoor/outdoor space (seasonality), strong WiFi, accessible outlets, good coffee & more food than pastries (or is within a 5min walk to a good cafe), is a well designed space, and access to multiple modes of transit (bike rack, parking, and public transit stop nearby).

Parks are an exception, given they have comfortable, shady seating/fields.

Releasing v1 of the Farcaster Guide to Austin next week. Please share any other submissions! Opening criteria up to essential local places to eat, drink, play, and explore. Centered on the remote work experience.

After three weeks of Thai food I can’t wait for a breakfast taco again

Update: Rosita’s Al Pastor for my first meal back was the warm welcome home hug I needed.

Best barbershops in Austin?
I’ll go fist:

Crestview Barbershop (ask for Kallie)
Great for little kids’ cuts too.

Austin observations after being back for a few months: 

Swimming holes > pools 

Long sleeve button ups > hoodies

“You do you” is a compliment in Texas

Consistent high quality TexMex, tacos and bfast tacos makes life better

Austinites are on average more optimistic about the future than most other cities
