Launched in June 2009, Republic of Austin is a lifestyle magazine (AKA āblogā) that celebrates life, art, people, music, food, style and events in Austin, Texas, through videos, photos and social media. Written by folks in our 20ā²s and 30ā²s, we want to share our love of Austin with the world. Meet us out and tell us your story!
Oh yeah: In September 2010 we were votedĀ Best Local Blog and Best Local Blogger by the readers of the Austin Chronicle. BTW, thanks! 
Hereās how it works:
- The blog is where we post original photos, videos and stories about life in Austin.
- Our Twitter is kinda like, well, itās Twitter-we share our posts, other peopleās posts and events. Although we are moving more towards Facebook.
- The Republic of Austin Facebook page is fully interactive. We share articles from our favorite Austin bloggers, drop a couple of our daily Austin party and event picks, and chat about things that Austin folk love.
- We recently launched a tumblr to share photos and things from our favorite Austin tumblrs. Weāre n00bs, so be gentle.
Our mission:
- To raise local and national awareness of the diverse artists, musicians, events, businesses and lifestyles that make Austin a kick-a city
- To strengthen the community throughout Austin
- To be Austinās only truly alternative press by sharing local stories not generally picked up by the mainstream media
- To keep Austin weird, yāall!
