Ask Austin Vol. II

Dear Austin,

Are Unicorns real?
--Elise

Elise:

Unlike the sasquatch, narwhal and tree octopus, the unicorn is a mythical creature. Oh man, but what if?!

And we're off!

Okay, so I had to do something, right?! But what? Well, you gotta write what you know--I like telling people what to do and speaking frankly. I know stuff...about things...and need somewhere to express opinions without giving speeches.

Thank you for your questions, rants, comments, arguments, praise, sexy pictures, restaurant recommendations, et cetera...

Dear Austin:

What was the basis of this bulletin? Why would your audience have questions?
--Bridgette

Bridgette:
I wanted to start a blog, but I wanted to have something that was interactive. I wanted people to be personally interested not just because they might like what i have to say, but because they were able to contribute. It's a little experimental, but I'll try to keep it exciting--or at the least, worth bookmarking.

Everyone's got questions. Why did you have questions? My audience are those who want an answer. I'll post and reply to or comment on anything I find entertaining, as well as share what floats my boat.


Dear Austin:

How many miles up b4 you reach outer space?
--Chandy

Chandy:

At 4.6km, the FAA mandates everyone in the air have access to supplimental oxygen
At 26,250 feet you reach the "Death Zone"--where there isn't enough oxygen to support human life.
At 62.1 miles above you reach the Kármán Line, which defines the limit of outer space according to the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale.

Dear Austin,

It's been months since I've been on a date. Any folks you have to donate, sir?
--Class Act

Mr. Act

Folk's to donate? Absolutely not.

However, if you walk up to a shortie that strikes your fancy with confidence and a calm demeanor, you can at least get her email or IM, which can be helpful if finding out whether or not she's crazy. Most girls are. In the long run, comedy is the best "game" to focus on (even if money can buy you a date) and honesty (or a reasonable representation of what appears to be honesty) is the best policy--oh, and nice guys do finish last, even though they do finish in the end.

Personally, I can't imagine why not dating would trouble you. You're young, you should be getting your groove on, and that means kicking it with your crew and talking to every cutie you see while you're doing your thing. If a girlie's cool, she'll be where you're at.

Generally speaking:

I got a few questions about the band--the one I'm in called Everybody Else--which were, for the most part, very difficult to answer. As per questions about what we're doing or where we're going, don't ask me...I'm just the bass player.
