Consarn it, the intro led me to hope that the author had done all we haterz a favor and migrated "up" the list of capitals of insufferably pretentious white guys. To "San Fran." AKA "Smarmy Self-Satisfied Liberal Asshole Heaven." As in "permanently." Well, an Austinist reader can at least dream, can't he/she? Stan D.

So I know that as an Austinite I'm supposed to irrationally hate all Californians, but am I supposed to hate San Franciscans too? What if I've actually been there, love it, and like most of the people I know from there?

I liked Mod Lang in Berkeley more than Amoeba, possibly because I was so overwhelmed by the size of Amoeba.... Also, if you like any deliciousness in the world of Pastries/Baked Goods/etc. Tartine on the corner of Guerrero and 18th is sooooo wonderful. I love that city and it's probably the only place other than Austin that I would want to live.

Amoeba Records is a great store, but Aquarius is the best in San Francisco. Tiny, but outstanding.

Great post! Austin needs more book readings at bars.
