Boston Rhymes with Austin

More snow on the way for Boston today, so our little network of –ists is bringing you south, to Texas! Austinist launches in it’s beta test today. We completely expect that they will be bringing us the dish on SXSW and letting us know what music we need to get on our iPods ASAP. For a town in Texas, Austin has more bars with live music than almost anywhere. Oh, and did we mention, the next Real World is being filmed in Austin. All your house drama, archetype roommates, and blatant commercialism are coming with MTV to Austin.

But Let’s focus on the good in Austin for Austinist's brithday. With the launch of Austinist we will be reading the site every day to see when Ben Brown wakes up from his drunken rock induced stupor and gets a couple of posts up about what went on at SXWS the night before. Welcome Austinist.
