I always have lots of fun in Austin. The food is great, there is live music everywhere, and the people are all super friendly.

You enjoy it since you're a visitor. It isn't necessarily the same as living there.

> live music everywhere

Only in downtown Austin.

Not true at all. Perhaps you only like the type of music that is downtown.

The truth is some of the most legendary venues are far from downtown.

Two quick examples: Poodies Hilltop Roadhouse and Giddy Ups.
