I'm moving to Austin this summer and am hereforth on a quest to collect all the "Keep ______ Weird" bumperstickers I can for my car!
Anyone willing to help me in my quest?
So far I've heard there are Keep _____ Weird Campaigns in:
Madison, WI
Ashville, NC
Santa Cruz, CA?
Portland, OR?
Boulder, CO?
Hmmmm....any that I'm missing?
and...
Isn't it ironic that the "Keep Austin Weird" slogan has been trademarked and made someone (Outhouse Designs) a lot of money?
Also that there's soo many cities wanting to be weird.
What does this say about the American Psyche?
hmmmm....
I think it indicates a regional "weirdness center" for different areas of the country, not that all American cities are uniformly desiring to be "weird", or that "weirdness" has been co-opted into the mainstream.
"Keep Missoula Weird" bumper stickers can be found all over Missoula Montana. Missoula is a very liberal, i.e. the will not tolerate intolerance. I wonder if that is what they find weird?

"Keep Austin Weird" was originally a catch phrase aimed at getting people to shop local business first. It had nothing to do with the city's "weirdness" or liberal ways although today that's the way people interperate it.
There are other city campaigns too like "Keep Dallas Plastic" & "Keep Houston Dirty".

All of those other cities copied Austin.
I've NEVER heard or seen any one of those. But I have seen this:
