Come on down, sweet darlins. Shake off the weary sweat of "travel," and let Austin bathe your brow. Nothing could make Austin happier than to have thousands of new friends from the Big Easy and beyond take a respite here. You enrich our culture, spice up our cuisine, and make us proud to share an Abita beer with you – or a Dixie, for those real swamp-sisters. Thank you for surviving your hurricane season and getting here to recuperate and celebrate simply being alive. You've always been kind to visitors, and now it's our turn to be hospitable in return. Viva New Orleans! All hail the Gulf Coast! L'aissez les bon temps rouler!
