I am moving to Austin, TX in march. Where is the best place to live, work, party, meet new people?

This is a big life change for me and I know it is not the best time to be moving (economy...) but i feel i need to head out and do something for me on my own. Any little bit will help.I am moving to Austin, TX in march. Where is the best place to live, work, party, meet new people?
I have lived in Round Rock, which is just 10 minutes or so North of Austin, for 15 years and I love it. Its quiet and has a small town feel with everything you need and it is SO close to the city, plus it is much cheaper than actually living in Austin. Not sure where to tell you to work since I don't know what industry you are in or looking for. There are many places to party, of course the obvious answer is 6th but there are great bars all throughout Austin and the surrounding areas. Summertime on Lake Travis is an awesome place to meet new people.



There are lots of museums, parks, lakes, parties, tons of live music, whatever you are looking for. Austin is a great place to live, I hope you enjoy it!!I am moving to Austin, TX in march. Where is the best place to live, work, party, meet new people?
