My husband & I live about an hour north of LA (about 45 miles north). We moved here about 4 years ago from LA (and I moved to LA from Boston 4 years before that to get away from the cold. He moved from Chicago for the same reason). I'm in a band. I'm into seeing other bands, independent films (and other movies, of course), experimental art, eating at fun places, hanging out in bars with friends, etc...

There isn't much to do where I am now. I'm not really into the beach lifestyle (like most of the people who live here) and never made friends here. I've become more and more of a hermit over the years even though I love going out. All of my friends are in Boston or LA, and I find myself doing the awful 1+ hour drive to LA more and more often. I pretty much hate it here, but I don't want to move back to LA (too phony) or Boston (too cold) either. I'm hoping Austin will be the place for me. Warm, fun, liberal, interesting things to do, music, etc...

As for a job, I run an internet-based small business and also do freelance web design. Both of these things can be done anywhere, so I don't need a job waiting for me to move.

I hope that answers some of your questions.
Again, that's your personal decision. I wouldn't let me or any other posters on here sway you for or against the move. If you think it would be a good move, then go to Austin. I couldn't make it any simpler.

Oh I'm definitely moving, and I'm very excited about it. No sway needed. I was just answering your questions.
