Butch Femme Planet - What's Happening in Austin

I hope it's okay to post here since it's an Austin thread...

Thinking about moving there and wondering what the job market is like. I work in health insurance and want to stay in the same career field if that's an option. I don't know how gay friendly Austin is or if there's things to do there geared towards our community, but it can't be any worse than Louisville.

If any of you on the thread can give me the low-down on jobs, etc., please shoot me a message.

Thanks.

I lived in Louisville for 8 years. I loved it there, but the LGBT community was terrible. I went to Tink's only about once a month cuz that is about all i could take..lol.

You will LOOOOOVE Austin. great area, great community. Costs is about the same as Louisville. Texas doesnt have state tax.

I agree. The LGBT community in Louisville is terrible. And Tink's FINALLY closed. I've been here five years now, and I think I've pretty much had it.

Heyla Ferret! Austin is full of the bright and the shiny. We have a terrific community here. :)

I don't do bars so I can't speak to that. I'm not against bars... I just don't like to go where no one sees me. LOL

I've live in Austin for the last 10 years of 22 spent in the central Texas area. Austin is the most gay friendly city in Texas IMHO. Dallas, Houston & San Antonio while they have had or do have more organized communities don't have the laid back, fun atmosphere that Austin has. The best way is to come visit & see for yourself. The job market for your industry may have jobs, but I. Would get the job first, then take the plunge & move.

I hope this helps.

I'd like to do something. It'll be another couple of weeks after this before I'll be able to do anything really, so something would be nice.

Okay, we can do lunch on Sunday. :) How about 1pm somewhere fun? As Glynn points out, we may need to look around for an open place.

All times are GMT -6. The time now is 01:42 AM.
