NOT A 250 SPINOFF

Use these source buttons for the first pass. Before any real trip, check current hours, event dates, ticket rules, accessibility, closures, heat, parking, and transit.
ARTWORK & PHOTOS
The current visuals are safe BluSup/AustUp artwork for the public site. Specific place cards can be replaced over time with Jim’s own photos, approved public-domain photos, licensed/permission images, or newly generated art using the same filenames.
WHY AUSTUP EXISTS
AustUp exists because Austin feels right for a living BluSup branch: music, heat, food, water, weirdness, Texas identity, and a future road story. It is not replacing BluSup 250. It is a separate city branch with its own pulse.
It is ready to grow through real photos, road notes, food stops, music finds, and practical Austin details as the story becomes more personal.
