Austin or San Antonio
Have a big customer I need to meet in October. Marble Falls, TX.
Can fly into San Antonio...stay a few nights pre meeting or Austin.
Taking wife. She's never been to Texas.
Flights are stupid cheap.
What city would you take your wife to if she'd never been to Texas? SA is a 75 minute drive to customer. Austin is 40.
Will visit Aunt and Uncle last night there...20 minutes from customer.
I'm thinking...SA. We're not gonna go out until 2 am.
I've never been to Austin. Have been to SA about 20 years ago.
Thoughts, please.

San Antonio has the river walk with a bunch of bars and restaurants along the river.
Austin has Joe Rogan's comedy club.

Re: Austin or San Antonio
I found San Antonio to be really boring. The River Walk is cool, but its bars on a river. The Alamo is okay, but it's done in about an hour.
I think Austin is a great town. Great live music and food. University Of Texas is beautiful. A couple of pretty good record stores.
My vote is Austin, but when you are out there make sure to goto Buc-ees. Its such an interesting place if you have never been. Yep, I am recommending a truck stop.

Re: Austin or San Antonio
Never been to Austin, but I went to SA last spring. I went to a Spurs game specifically to see a rookie my wife was the Asst. Principal for when he was in middle school before he was recruited by St. Vincent/St. Mary (LeBron's high school). Sat courtside behind the bench and had a great time. Stayed at a hotel on the Riverwalk. Ate good food. Saw The Alamo. Went to a Mexican street fair (pretty cool). Decent amount of Mexican culture if you want to experience that without traveling to Mexico.
A long weekend is plenty of time in the city. Nice spring weather if you come from shitty late winter locations.

Re: Austin or San Antonio
Austin has lots more cool stuff to see and do than San Antonio, but the traffic sucks.
Austin has a vibe and charm of it's own. It's a liberal hub, like Berkeley. San Antonio has a vibe like El Paso or Tucson.

Maybe they painted it pink. If that's not it, Google it.

I'm not sure if the article will discourage you or encourage you, but I thought I'd pass it along.

I've been to both many times. I prefer Austin. San Antonio's so damn hot. Good food, though. Austin has a much better nightlife.

I lust looked, and I'm pretty it IS the same place Cowpins stayed. There's a lot of pink stuff there.

Re: Austin or San Antonio
I agree with the penis motel suggestion. It's only slightly weirder than the Clown Motel in Nevada:
