The rollercoaster weather over the past couple of weeks is definitely worth the sunshine we’re going to get this weekend!

Our weekend pick is definitely the Burnet Bluebonnet Festival, but you can find a bunch of other options on our Austin Events Calendar. The other weekend-planning resource we keep updated for you is our #ATXweekend hashtag on Twitter.

But since the weekend hasn’t quite started yet and you may be stuck inside for a few more hours, our Austinot Podcast episode is here to help you pass the time!

Check out our questions for this week’s episode:

  • “Who is the most famous person buried at the Texas State Cemetary?”
    -Lin Sutherland, Facebook
  • “Where is the best view of Austin?” -Juwon McCaskill, Facebook
  • “What places are the best kept secrets in town?” -@paraparasailing, Twitter
  • “What is the best vapor shop in town?” -Martin Castle, Facebook
Stephen F Austin's Grave at Texas State Cemetary

We’d love to hear your questions about Austin as we get ready for our next episode. We can’t answer every question we receive because of time constraints, but we love researching and putting thought into the questions we do get to answer. So hit us up on Facebook, Twitter or Google+ with your question!

 

@QuasiBrit asks:

Do you have anything to add to our answers this week?
