I lived in Austin for one year and I didn't see one hippie there. Sure, some people wear tie dye shirts and smoke weed. But they do that in Alabama, too. The majority of the people are conservative rednecks partying down and getting drunk then proclaiming to be of "Southern Baptist" origins.

If you want high class partying and a variety of groups to choose from then I suggest Dallas. It's huge and glitzy and very inexpensive. The people are down to earth and a little more honest. What more could you want?

Before someone beats me to it, Mentone has to be mentioned.

Is Mingus a good party town, or was I just reading someone who was trying to be funny, like I was in the first sentence?

lol, I was waiting for someone to be shocked silly by that statement too. I saw that and could not stop laughing.

certain words must mean something different in different cities. Like down to earth must mean they party on the first floor

Well if your extremely inmature and main interests are getting drunk, smoking, and acting stupid, then Austin's 6th street is the place to be! If you are a tad more "upscale" and enjoy finer type entertainment (jazz/blues clubs, etc) then Dallas or Houston would be right up your alley.

Ok dude, let's get real. I agree Austin is a crappy jazz town, but so are Houston and Dallas. Dallas, at least produced Nora Jones, but her international career was launched at SbySW in guess where. And as for blues, what clubs in Houston or Dallas have been as historically significant for the development and sustaining of blues music as Antones or the Victory Grill in Austin? Tell me, I would like to go there. Houston has a nationally significant hip-hop scene. And Dallas has an OK trance, metal and techno scene. In the 1920s, Oak Cliff in Dallas with T-Bone Walker had a blues scene, but since the 1960s, the center of Texas blues has been in Austin. Ever heard of Stevie Ray Vaughan?

Houston is not as crappy for Jazz as you would think. Take a spin downtown one evening

Where? And who plays there? Jazz is not really a Texas genre.

I have, and he's from Oak Cliff in Dallas.



That guy is an anti-Austin troll. I wouldn't take what he says too seriously. But if you're going to disregard Dallas's Deep Ellum district, one of the most historic blues spots in the entire southern United States just because most of that history is older, I don't know if it's fair to tout Stevie Ray Vaughan when he's been dead himself for two decades now.
