Austin, TX is the state capital of Texas and has a population of more than 1.5 million. Residents of Austin are known as "Austinites," and include a mix of university professors, students, politicians, lobbyists, musicians, and other eclectic professions. Austin's official slogan promotes the city as "The Live Music Capital of the World", a reference to its status as home to many musicians and music venues (more than any other city in the US!).

One well known annual film/music/multimedia festival is South by Southwest. Also the longest-running concert music program on American television, Austin City Limits, is videotaped on the University of Texas at Austin campus. UT has nearly 50,000 undergraduates and graduates studying in Austin. U.S. News & World Report consistently ranks University of Texas as the best public university in the state of Texas. In its 2007 rankings, The University of Texas at Austin places forty-fourth among all national universities and twelfth among public universities in the U.S. Austin is the largest city in the country without a franchise in any of the four major sports leagues. Instead, Austinites enthusiastically support the University of Texas Longhorns' sports programs.

Austinites take pride in eccentricities and celebrate differences and being different (in lifestyle, character, beliefs, etc.). "Keep Austin Weird" has become a local motto in recent years, featured on innumerable bumper stickers and t-shirts. Nationally known Austinites include Willie Nelson, Lance Armstrong, Matthew McConaughey, Sandra Bullock , Robert Rodriguez, Andy Roddick, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Michael Dell.
