Today, May 4th, is Election Day for the Travis County property appraisal district. Austin folks, if you didn’t vote early, now’s the time. There are no political party names on the ballot, so bring notes.
South By Southwest, the music, film and tech festival/conference is underway. If you're attending, check out this @Eater@Flipboard Storyboard, which has details on how to get the most from the event, plus where to eat in Austin.
We are going to be taking a trip to Austin, Texas for the first time this coming weekend. We would love recommendations for any thing we must see or do. We love nature and culture.
Do you have any recommendations for good cafés or restaurants? We are both vegetarians.
Thank you so much - we are looking forward to visiting soon!
Boost appreciated and suggestions doubly appreciated!
This is probably surprising to no one, but the brick & mortar Goodwill Computer Works mini-store inside the Anderson Lane Goodwill is gone. I asked a clerk and they said it’s online now.
I’m curious if there is a big community of people here on #Mastodon that are here in the #AustinTX area. I know there are servers for large geographic areas, but I wonder if people discuss events here in town, or if there are specific hashtags.
#FuckCars folks in #Texas needed to provide online public comment on plans to double the number of lanes on US 54 between Stratford and the Oklahoma state line.
Good morning #Mastodon. I hope everyone is having a wonderful Monday.
I have already had a productive Monday with fixing a bug in an app, and got in a good mile walk. The weather is so nice here in #AustinTX. Again, Happy Monday.
If you are local to #Austin#AustinTX#ATX and haven't yet heard, a #Lyft driver drove off with this dude's cat still in the backseat and then claimed there was no cat. Super fucked up story, so if you're in the Gateway / Balcones area or know a Lyft driver with an unexplained feline addition, please help him get his cat back.
That was a crazy hailstorm in north central Austin tonight. Neighbor took a limb to his roof and we were collecting trash cans of water falling through a light fixture onto his bed, swapping them out every few minutes. Insanity.
