Okay, that's it.

There is a crack in the smegging foundation. I know this because the past two times it's rained the carpet gets sopping wet *only* right under where I set my feet when I'm at the computer. Therefore it's time to pack up tents and move unless Herself wants to put in money to: fix the foundation, replace carpet (that would have to be taken up to fix the foundation), get a new heater/AC unit, fix the electrical problems, get a plumber in (downstairs bathroom sink utterly refuses to drain despite every single plumbering goop I can get at the store) and shore up the little slope behind the house and underneath the back porch that is swiftly eroding away and I'm deathly afraid at some point in the next few years will peel the back of the house clean off like a bloody great boiled egg.

So what I want to hear from those of you who care to do so is a sales pitch for where you live and why Doc (and quite possibly Herself and the kittehs) should move there. Please don't think I've got some kind of exalted opinion of myself or anything, I'm just looking to cheer myself up a little and get information on various places that could be possibilities. There are already two leading contenders - Austin and Seattle. I just thought this might be fun.

Because we'd love to have you for our neighbor!

Uh, seriously, let's see. Austin has a great music scene and a big tech community. Eklektikos on KUT. A decent population of funky people, and a lot of overlapping between the various communities and interests. A small, fun SF convention supported by an active fan base. Lots to see and do. Texas has no income tax. On the down side, the summers are hot as hell, we left the gate open and a lot of yuppies got in, the traffic sucks, and the sales tax has to compensate for the lack of income tax.

If you ever want to come down for a scouting trip, you've got places to stay!
