Happy Anniversary to Us

Happy Anniversary to Us

As you may know, this issue, our 20th "Best of Austin" issue and also our 28th anniversary issue, is dated on the actual anniversary of our very first issue, dated Sept. 4, 1981. Due to the vagaries of the calendar, this is a relatively rare occurence – in fact, this is only our third true anniversary issue. The last one was 11 years ago, in 1998; the next one will be in 2015; and our 10th anniversary issue won't come out until 2054. See you then.
