What to do in Austin, Texas?

From photos to video diaries: how I remember the past

One challenging question I’ve always had was how to remember the past. I know that my memory isn’t the best, and when my friends and I reminisce about the good ol’ days, our accounts begin to differ. Who knows what another few years will make of our memories? We include

Thoughts after moving to New York
