About Austinites
Hi,
I'm Noah Masterson, the creator of this site. I moved to Austin in summer 2009, but I've felt it was my destiny to live here since 1986, when the Dead Milkmen's Eat Your Paisley! was released. On "Six Days" the band sings about all the crappy cities they've visited. But the final verse is about Austin:
I loved it in Austin
I wanted to stay
Cheap rent and
Lone Star beer Lots o' places to stay
Cheap rent is a thing of the past but we still have the beer, and so much more. In 2003 I married a Texan (and Austinite of 10+ years), then lived in Seguin, TX for a bit (escaping to ATX every chance we got), spent four years back east, and now we're finally where we belong.
I realize I'm a complete interloper here, but I'm beginning to feel part of the community. And since I'm a (mostly) silent partner in Grupthink, I felt it was appropriate to build a Grupthink community for my fellow Austinites.
Sincerely,
Noah Masterson
