I guess I live here now (Austin)

[sofarfromhome]

I only ever started traveling to find somewhere I would enjoy settling down in, and Austin is that place. I love the scene and my dog really likes it here, so I figure I'll give it a shot. Went to middle and high school out here and I come back whenever I can as an adult, and this time coming back I've decided to stay, at least for a couple years. Volunteer at some places and find some work somewhere that doesn't make me want to blow my brains against the ceiling.

So, if anybody knows of anything they could point me in the direction of that would help me get off my feet it would be greatly appreciated! I'm gonna go check out the yellow bike project and food not bombs, for a start.

you should pm @Matt Derrick , or @EphemeralStick , I believe that they (and some others) are in Austin and have found themselves a place to squat.

I know hehe I'm the one who showed them that squat xD I've been squatting with them but have been housed up by this babe for the past couple of days, and I keep meaning to go back but she keeps feeding me drugs and wanting me to hang around so fugggit haha. I've been meaning to get the ball rolling buuuuuuuut I don't see any problem with taking it easy for a couple days haha

@sofarfromhome small world, isn't it? lol ? Well Matt has spent a lot of time there, and he could probably answer any questions you ave about it. Have you checked out Graffiti Park at castle hill? I think there is a thread on stp (with pictures) and easy to find on google.

@sofarfromhome ,

I'm glad you didn't wake up in a bathtub full of ice, with half your organs missing.

If there are local elections going on look into political canvassing. It's easy as shit and pays well. Austin is a great city for this. I got hooked up on Craigslist but you may have to know someone or have some knowledge of local politics to get yer foot in the door

dope dude I enjoyed rolling briefly through there this winter. it's gentrifying pretty intensely but if you party hard enough I heard that it counteracts it
