Austin, isn't redneckish. You go out to west Tx then you get the more colorful residents. There's a lot to see here and it's got a high hippy population. ugh! dang hippies. Here's a few links that'll help you get to know your new town. Hope you like it.
Oh BTW, if you like sports,there's the champion UT Longhorn football team, Dallas Stars (previous champs), San Antonio Spurs(continuing champs), UT Baseball team(champs), UT Basketball team( women better than the men), the Houston Astros (almost champs),no one acknowledges the Texas Rangers because they've sucked forever, and last but not least your hometown---Round Rock Express Minor League baseball team. A cheap but totally fun sports event here in town.
