Seeking Austin Blogs
June 23, 2008 1:11 PM   Subscribe

I'm moving back to Austin, TX in December and am looking for some local blogs to read in the meantime.

I already read Austinist, but with the plethora of neighborhood-based blogs in my current locales (Brooklyn/Baltimore), I've gotten a little spoiled. Where are all the interesting blogs covering local Austin politics and restaurants and such? I've been away from the city for almost 20 years and need a bit of a refresher course!

A good guide to Austin restaurants is a print book called "The Fearless Critic: Austin" (there's also a Houston book). Their website isn't together yet, but it says reviews online are "coming soon." The Statesman (newspaper) also runs Austin360 which has local news, restaurant reviews, etc.
