Off-season, non-SXSW Austin is its own sort of weird

AUSTIN, Tex.

It feels like I barely visited my favorite part of Texas, and that’s not just because my trip here for the Connectivity Standards Alliance’s Unify conference only spanned three days. This visit has also reminded me that SXSW, my usual experience of Austin aside from one trip here in September of 2018 for the Online News Association’s conference, is not a reliable reflection of the city.

The sidewalks this week aren’t crowded with hipsters and would-be hipsters (i.e., me) wearing the same conference badge, in the process making the number of unhoused people here a little more obvious. Bars and restaurants downtown go by their normal names instead of being rebranded as “activations” for one #brand or another. And instead of delightful spring weather, it’s ghastly hot out–not Vegas-in-August scorching, but also much more humid.

Avoiding that heat by spending so much of my time in Unify’s air-conditioned confines at the Hilton Downtown made this even more of a fake visit for me. I did at least think to stop by a dive bar off Red River Street Wednesday night to get in some local color and put some money into the non-hotel economy.

One other change I noticed compared to March: Austin’s streets seem to have picked up a lot more robotic occupants. Waymos are as ubiquitous as ever, but I also spotted several of Austin-based Avride’s refitted Hyundai Ioniq 5s, at least two Zoox toasters on wheels and one of Tesla’s two-seat, gold-colored Cybercabs–plus delivery robots rolling up and down sidewalks.

(I didn’t get a good enough look at most of the non-Waymo vehicles to see if they had humans at the controls or otherwise overseeing them. Nor did I get rides on any of them, since it was such a short walk from my hotel to the conference venue.)

But one part of Austin did take me right back to my usual marketing-spring-break nonsense: being greeted outside by the airport by the squawk of grackles.

And?
Which hypothesis about the spread of #hipsters do you think is the most likely?

#KätToon #Satire #Hipster

I've promised to myself - and others - that one day I'd write a novel about "The Family".

It would be a work of fiction based off real life and it would be about a loose knit community in #Bergen #Norway, comprised of #hipsters, #hippies, #newagers and #ravers.

They have cost the #Norwegian #welfare system millions - and don't even know it.

I'm not sure if I'm at a point in my life now where I can write about them, but I will be employing my inner #huntersthompson and #williamburroughs.

Why does it make us feel good (cool?) to think we've chosen something outside the mainstream, but maybe only when a few others have too? That we have a small community resisting what's popular. Does it matter that we think we have better reasons for doing so than those given by those who chose what's popular? That you feel like you are pushing back against some kind of illegitimate pressure. Do we all feel this or is it rare / subject dependent? #hipsters #SocialWeb #woke #ccmusic #MAGA

Best film I've watched this year so far (I watch a lot of fuckin movies!) "Evil Does Not Exist" by by Ryusuke Hamaguchi. Many themes for folks who give a shit about the environment, and hate #gentrification and fuckin #hipsters. The pacing is slow AF - you have been warned Thx @zola for the recommendation

Het kloosterleven heeft een verrassende comeback gemaakt, zij het zonder monniken en habijten. In plaats daarvan zijn het de stilte retraites die mensen, onder wie hipsters, in toenemende mate weten te vinden. "Hoe drukker de maatschappij, hoe drukker de retraites in ons klooster."
