What? Listen, given the choice between a bunch of drunken sports fans 
leaving the Swing en masse to go commit vehicular homicide while screaming
"WE ARE NUMBER *ONE*!!", 'till their lungs hurt, and cool sounds
of 6th Street, I'll plead the 6th. 

Austin is *not* boring, and is a place of great beauty and spirituality. I'd
pretty much agree with Ben's sarcasm. If Austin doesn't cut it for you 
right now, check out Midland/Odessa. They've got a couple of great stadiums!
No springs or Chuy's or Eeyore's or Blues on the Green.... (I could go on...)
