Best Effort to Keep Austin Weird

Keep Austin Weird Stickers, T-Shirts, Web Sites, etc.

You want "weird"? There is a Web site called Keepaustinweird.com "perpetrated," so they say, "by the creators of beloved original bumperstickers." Then there are all those T-shirts, koozies, etc. featuring the loopy-lettered logo that everyone associates with the catch phrase. The folks behind those? Absolutelyaustin.com, a clearing-house of local business promotional goodies, as well as UT merchandise, has also been attempting to copyright the catch phrase. This of course does not sit well with some folks, especially those at Keep Austin Weird, who are now launching a campaign to "Keep 'Keep Austin Weird' Weird." Weird, huh? Needless to say, we are retiring this category.
