Keep Austin Weird

Limbo Jewelry Designs sells the following pillows, candles, nameplates, and other cool humorous creations. 

Patrick Swayze, a Texas "hero", Nick Cage, etc. 

Observe the prayer candles for Trump, David Bowie, Matthew McConnaughey, et al. 
Crazy Cat Lady candle really does smell like cat litter! Used. 
A better choice is Baked Bread. 

A common refrain around here, Keeping Austin Weird, could be rephrased as Keep Austin Hip. 

SoCo, a very popular neighborhood, is a short walk from Ann Richards Bridge, where the Congress Street bats hang out March to September eating mosquitoes and scaring the tourists. 
Shops selling cowboy hats, cowboy boots, etc., are not hip, but Tesoros and Yard Dog Art Gallery have the quirk factor that hipsters relish. 
Mexican Wrestling masks for Lucha at Tesoro
More oddities at Tesoro
Love these office "nameplates" at LimboJewelry  Designs
Rather than eating at the popular but mediocre Guerros, try Max's Wine Dive, a mile or so north. Yummy and hipster gourmet. 
Austin is a great winter time escape.
