AUSTIN | Misc. Discussions - No Politics

[wwmiv]

I meant compete in terms of climate during this time of year...

I lived in San Antonio and yes they can compete with Austin in terms of overall culture as well, and in many respects beats Austin handily. Fiesta, for instance, is a huge deal. But they just do not have the same VIBE that SXSW requires, and THAT is why I said SXSW would never move there.

And no, there isn't just bad rock and metal. There's a vibrant Tejano scene which Austin can never expect to match. There are substantially better art museums, and in fact the art scene is just all around better in San Antonio than it is in Austin. I've own multiple pieces by Marcus Cerda, who is simply phenomenal.
