Austin

Well, I went down to Austin last week and did a bit of apartment hunting. I don't suggest trying to find and pre-lease an appartment in two days. It gives you headaches. At least, it gives me headaches. Also, for those of you who might be changing cities in the near future, it's probably worth your time to find out if there are appartment finders where you are moving. I found out (after I had spent two and a half days driving all over Austin) that there are appartment hunters in Austin who will drive you around and show you a bunch of properties at no cost to you (the property owners pay them if you rent a place in their building). That would have been nice to know. Anyways, I'll figure out my mailing address when I get down there next month (Aug 12!!!) and make that available to anyone who wants it at that point. I also got my first cell phone while I was down there, so if you send me an email, I will send you my Austin telephone number (I'm also using it in Amarillo until I move). And it's a Cingular phone, so if any of you have the same service then we can talk to free. Yippee.
