My friend and I are taking a road trip down to Austin after Christmas.
We're both under 21.
What fun things could we do?
Where are places that are "must see"?
Try and stay clear of museums unless it's really just that amazing. We're into Music and stuff, I know there is a music scene down there... but considering our age. I want to go down there having a slight idea of what were doing, where we're going, and what's gonna happen.

I've been to Austin before (probably between 5 to 10 times...maybe a little more), but I'm drawing a blank. I posted a similar thread in the Dallas forum...and that's where I've lived...my entire life. LOL

Keep in mind it's not only his first time to Austin, but also Texas. If that changes anything.

a quick side question too: IF you were going to Dallas, what would you go and see?

Just follow this on your twitter. Twitter

What weekend will you be in Austin? There is usually something fun going on that you can enjoy and don't need to be 21 for. Like this weekend is the Fun Fun Fun Fest with "Weird Al" Yankovic. Will you be light or heavy on fund? And so on....

Right after Christmas is a pretty quiet time in Austin. (I love it!)

Keep an eye on the Austin Chronicle (google is your friend) and you should find plenty to do.

i know i'm probably getting a reputation for recommending luckenbach but it's hard to beat for a laid back day trip

gruene hall down in new braunfels is a good music spot to see as well

when in dallas (and it's thursday) i'm gonna be at sons of hermann hall on the dark end of deep ellum -- no better place in dallas

I'll be there the 29th and the 30th.
I have to spend New Years back in Dallas.
Any other suggestions?
Will I find something to do if I just wander down 6th street?

You can get into Emo's at 6th and Red River and also La Zona Rosa on West 4th even if you are under 21. You have to pay a small cover charge becasuse you won't be buying alcohol though.
