Never visited Austin!!!!

Hello Everybody!I am Brooklyn of South Texas.Sadly I have never spent more than a few hours in Austin so I really wanted to visit within the next week or so.
How is the hobby?
when is a good time to go?
Where is nice/safe to stay?
What is there to do for fun?
Anyways I would really appreciate any advice !!!
THANK YOU
xxBBxx

Just curious. Why visit Austin? What's the attraction for you?

You mean live music capital???

here is my take,

do not come the last week of school or the first week school is out, to much going on .

Expect to have a few cancels,
Do not post an ad 3 weeks out then complain no one booked you..

Do post an ad 3 weeks out, post 2 weeks out, post 1 week out.

Do stay 183/Mopac area,
Do stay 290/35 area

Do not stay in Round Rock or anywhere in Williamson County
Do not stay to far south of Ben White/35

the music is awesome
the food is good
the park bang in the middle of downtown, "townlake" is not to b missed
the people r cool
downtown is safe

make some time to enjoy the city

Uhhhh, thanks Reb and Shafty. I really wanted to know why SHE was visiting. But, you were really helpful to this ole soul who has lived here forty years.

I hope you have a wonderful time in Austin
