Austin sold out a long time ago, but it's still the perfect place for a hipster like you to stay ahead of the scene. There's plenty of action downtown, with SXSW and ACL, and it comes equipped with enough bike lanes, natural springs, and natural grocery stores to keep your lifestyle in shape. Plus, it's still so much cheaper than LA!
Marfa
Move to Marfa for a real out-of-body experience. Every few months, this quiet, historic town comes to life with psychedelic camping festivals, music festivals, and an iconic film festival that's starting to attract a lot of attention. So get there quick to get a taste of this city before it's taken over by the co-ops and coffee shops.
El Paso
El Paso has a bad reputation, kind of like you. But don't let the attitude fool you. El Paso is probably the hippest city in Texas. You belong here because you can't help it if you're cooler than everyone else.
San Antonio
You always know where everything's happening, but you hate being the center of attention. You'd rather chill. An endearing city like San Antonio is perfect for a hipster like you. It's not loud or ostentatious, but it does know how to throw a party in a low-key kind of way.
Wimberley
Wimberley is where all the old hippies of Austin ran off to after the developers came in, so it's an easygoing type of place--not as liberal as Austin but still creative. They really take the arts seriously down here, making it the obvious choice for you. You belong in Wimberley because you're always creating something new, and you're in desperate need of the perfect farmers' market to sell it in.
