Austin enjoys a vibrant cultural scene. With an educated and eclectic population, you will find a great variety of art, music, theater and artistic expression of all kinds. You don't have to dress up to go out, unless you want to. Austin's more of a creative place than a formal place. Where else do you have bumper stickers saying, "Keep Austin Weird?" This began as a misprint of a sticker meant to say, "Keep Austin Wired". But, "Keep Austin Weird" resonated with Austinites, and says a lot about who we are.” Roselind
