Living the SXSW lifestyle

SXSW 2013 has hit the city, and Austinites are divided in their response. Should we flee downtown, or enter the madness to celebrate the latest innovations and creations in tech, music and film?

You know we’re explorers at heart, so you shouldn’t be surprised that we pick the latter. Today on the Austinot Podcast, we’ll tell you about free SXSW events that are open to the public (read: you don’t need a badge, though the time you spend in line may equal the time it takes to drive between the Capitol and the Congress Bridge at rush hour).

Gruene Texas Water Tower

Less than an hour south of Austin is Gruene, Texas, an area with a colorful history that’s perfect for a day trip or weekend away.

With the help of friends, many of Gruene’s most important buildings were restored and designated as historic landmarks. Today, Gruene Historic District is a lovely town with an old-time feel that’s easy to appreciate. [Read more…]
