Launched in June 2009, Republic of Austin is a lifestyle magazine (AKA ‘blog’) that celebrates life, art, people, music, food, style and events in Austin, Texas, through videos, photos and social media. Written by folks in our 20′s and 30′s, 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 voted Best Local Blog and Best Local Blogger by the readers of the Austin Chronicle. BTW, thanks!

Here’s how it works:

The blog is where we post original photos, videos and stories about life in Austin.
Our Twitter is kinda like, well, it’s Twitter-we share our posts, other people’s 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. We’re 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 Austin’s only truly alternative press by sharing local stories not generally picked up by the mainstream media
To keep Austin weird, y’all!
