Everything's Bigger in Texas

Everything in Texas seems bigger, including potential, and opportunities to try something new. I am thinking really hard about a relocation from sunny San Diego to weird Austin (the one in Texas, not Minnesota).

On the one hand, moving to Texas may seem counter-intuitive for a liberal-minded individual like yours truly. On the other hand, Austin is viewed as an oasis of progressiveness in the Lone Star State. For someone who has a taste for the eclectic and cultural, and would like eventual access to further education at the prestigious UT Austin, yet doesn't wish to burn cash on high costs of living, moving to Austin begins to sound like a no-brainer.

Well, stay tuned...
