In Part 2 of this episode, we talk with Red, a native of Austin who moved back home. Red is locally famous in Austin for coining the phrase Keep Austin Weird. Born in Austin, Red migrated quite a bit in his youth because he wanted to experience new places. But once that itch was scratched, Red decided to come home and at the time of our interview in 2014, he had made Austin his home for 30 years.
Red’s always been active in keeping an eye on changes in Austin. And, for our exploration, Red presents a very interesting dichotomy. He is both the new incomer as well as someone who strongly identifies with the place of his birth.
