I live in Salida, Colorado, at the headwaters of the Arkansas river. We've got the most
commercially rafted/kayaked stretch of whitewater in the US, possibly in the world. I live
two blocks from the river, and I ride the rapids in a kayak, raft, tube, or inflatable mattress.

I'm from midland, TX which is the home town of Tommy Lee Jones and President George W. Bush, there is nothing cool in or about Midland, it's only good for having a movie star and a ****ty president. Just moved to Austin, don't know of anything major going on here, yet!

I graduated in Austin. Everyone there is pretty chill, i think youll like it. Keep auz weird!

Not too much goin on here in Dallas aside from the fact that the only thing the Cowboys have goin for them are the cheerleaders, and that we came up with the original Six Flags. I prefer Austin but i have a job here.

I live in Jasper, Alabama - only thing we have is coal, Butterbean(the fat boxer, my neighbor is one of his friends, met him a few times. He also owns a BBQ place here lol), and meth labs, cant forget those.
Oh, and Taylor Hick's family lives here(from American Idol), also, one of the fictional characters on Lost said he was from a small town in Alabama called Jasper, so I'm assuming thats here, dunno how they heard of it to give him that background.
Oh lol, and back in the day, this county was voted one the top ten places in the us to get a hit on somebody, the more you know...
