The town is pleasant, in between Austin and San Antonio with its well-known water park, but this gig won't pay much and likely will be a design-and-edit-the-paper-at-night gig.

 

And if you like tubing or beer, they have plenty of both in the area.

 

A very good part of Texas. But sounds like the job consists of you doing all the work while the ME drinks coffee, tells stories and surfs the innertubes.
