Just for fun, we did reach out to hear from Austin’s own Matthew McConaughey on this topic. We’ve yet to receive a response, but we’ll keep working on it, alright, alright, alright.

Whether you’ve been here 10 days or 10 years, we’re excited to have you as part of our ATXtoday family, and we’re happy to call this sometimes weird place home right along with you.

What other questions would you like for us to ask the ATX community? Let us know here.
