Meet the Chrontourage
Abigail Hinojosa
Abigail was not born in raised in Austin nor is she one of the thousands that attended UT. However, it did not take long for her realize that Austin just might be the greatest place on earth! Ever since moving here two years ago from the flat lands of West Texas, she has not been able to get enough of the sensory overload that is the music, art, film, and food in this city. She is also determined to eat at every Mexican taqueria and Thai restaurant in town.
Adrienne Oujezdsky
In between figuring out what she wants to do when she grows up and battling her obsessive compulsive disorder with lent rollers, Adrienne uses the remaining few hours of the day enjoying the bests of the city. A true born and bred Austinite, Adrienne has a genuine appreciation for wearing flip flops with sweatshirts in "the dead of winter," the ability to enjoy chips and salsa at a good 97% of the local restaurants, and knowing what truly good folk really means. Her passion for music, food, art and film is trumped by two things: running and breakfast for dinner. Adrienne's ultimate dream is to become a successful, loaded entrepreneur so she can attend all the gnarly events and work for the Chronicle for the rest of her life.
Ashley Sherwood
A Texan for 12 years; an Austinite for 2. Loves everything about this city, and plans to stay here for quite a while. Recently transfered from ACC to Texas State in San Marcos as a junior majoring in Art. Enjoys things like live music, drinking tons of coffee, reading, and film photography. Plans to have a great time working with the Chrontourage, and can't wait to see everyone at all of the events!
Charles Heidrick
Charles has lived, worked, and studied in Austin his entire life.
Naturally, he enjoys the finer things that his beloved hometown has to
offer: great Tex-Mex, interactive film experiences at the Alamo
Drafthouse, SXSW, and the outdoors. Charles is nearly finished with
his scholarly pursuits at UT Austin and is hoping to stick around for
a couple more years. Charles' true passion is to learn how to play the
entire guitar segment from Prince's "Purple Rain", but sadly, he
doesn't have a musical bone in his body. Maybe one day he will finally
succeed, until then, you can probably spot him at one of the many
Chronicle related events around town.
Lauren Modery
Lauren may have a New York state license and a Los Angeles mailing address, but her heart is in Austin, Texas. After ending a tumultuous love affair with Hollywood last year, she jumped in her car and drove east on route 10 to Austin. She was moved by the warm and generous welcome she had received and is continually inspired by the energy that pulsates through the city. Her hobbies include biking around taking snapshots and talking with the amazing people of Austin. When she's not daydreaming about being in the next Pee-Wee Herman movie, she likes to go out dancing and tries to emulate her favorite dancer- David Byrne. She hopes to one day finish a piece of writing.
Linh Nguyen
What about me?! :S Linh is into creating lists of life goals, art projects, music, and the list goes on. I'm sucked into the Austin culture! I've become a collector of things that potentially can be recycled to make art. The way to enjoy music is by watching live shows which is where I find myself walking on the yellow brick road to music nirvana! My softer side involves being motivated by making my own contribution to the world.
Linh's Facebook & Myspace 
Logan
Unlike Tom Selleck, Logan is not the world's handsomest man, smartest man, most charming man, richest man, or manliest man; Logan is perhaps the worlds most completely average man, a title few others can claim. Logan grew up in north Texas and after a brief sojourn to San Francisco he took up residency in Austin when he awoke here one day after being shanghaied by SXSW volunteers. When not tending to his flock of giant squid on his central Texas cephalopod ranch, he likes to spend his time riding his bike downtown, shooting photos/video, and generally trying to avoid office work at the Austin Chronicle. Logan manages to survive exclusively on a diet of tacos and Lonestar tallboys.
Matthew Wedgwood
Matthew is a computer geek by trade, and spends a lot of his time corralling wayward bits into their little buckets. Thankfully, he's spending increasing amounts of time quietly photographing all the great stuff that happens around town. He's lived in Austin for over a quarter century, and that probably passes for a native these days. Aside from the Chrontourage web site, you can see Matthew's photographs on Flickr, or at his web site.
Nicole Castaņon
Nicole is one of many who went to UT and never wanted to leave town. The reluctant graduate has managed to etch her place in the corporate marketing skyline of the city she calls home. When the cedar fever isn't killing her, Nicole spends time practicing athletic abilities in soccer, half marathons and drinking mass quantities of beer - sometimes at the same time. In her free time, Nicole enjoys getting to know that special and sexy someone called Austin, TX. She also tried knitting, but it didn't take.
Sarah "Gin-Soaked Floozie" Boozer
Sarah's first love may be (and is) bacon, but her second is Austin. She enjoys the savory sound of local bands like the Black Angels and Built by Snow, the smoky aroma of the vegan hipsters and dragrats on dollar night at Dart Bowl, the saltiness of the staff (and margaritas) at Rio Rita, and the fact that Austin complements anything you add it to - salads, sandwiches or other meats.
