So I’m on Facebook now — which I highly recommend…but that’s a separate post — and saw a new group called "Austin, TX is the shit".

I was compelled to click through. I’m already a member of the Austin, TX group so I’m not sure I’ll join this one, however, in the description for this group they host listed reasons that, in his words, Austin is the shinizzle…
