Ask HN: What do I check out in Austin?

from the ask-hn dept.

I'm considering moving to a more tech heavy city. Austin and Si Valley are on the list. So I decided to fly to Austin this long weekend and check the city out. Already did the food trucks and walked around downtown a bit.

Where can I check out more of the tech/startup culture?

The Capitol Factory would be a good place. They help startups and have a coworking space. They also host most of the Tech meetups in the city. The only thing is they probably arent open this weekend.

Im also a fan of the East side so you can find food trucks there, lots of great bars, and of course live music (White Horse is a must). Check out www.do512.com and you can find some of the fun music happenings around town.

Sorta anti-tech, but if you have the urge to watch a movie, this place sounds fun: http://boingboing.net/2011/06/07/movie-theater-turns.html
