I'll be out of town if you wanna come live at my house that week...

Tempting....

You coming back to the Bay Area?

I wish.

What's the opposite of boots and a cowboy hat? And by "opposite" I mean "anti-matter analogue that will wipe them from the space-time continuum".

I wish I knew, but the scariest thing about Austin is the hipster/cowboy chimera.

I'm sorry that this made me laugh. Also it folded my brain a little, because part of why this is funny is that I think somebody who doesn't live in Texas is scary to the people who DO live in Texas, so it's a really good costume. Maybe you should be a black Muslim; surely "Madonna endorsed" and "ironic on stage" give that a few extra points of scary for the average Texan.
