As the founder of The FeedBak, I, Bak (thus the name), would like to welcome you to this exciting venture. This is almost 2 years in the making and I think it is about time to get started. I have always been fascinated by Austin’s nightlife. How people interact. How the atmosphere so building a website like this was only part of a natural process.

As you may already know, I have gone out a lot. I actually cannot remember a weekend when I was not out roaming the streets of downtown Austin. I have come to meet people from all walks of life. DJs, bartenders, managers, security staff, people who love to dance, people who stand there and talk, people who love attention, people who get drunk and the list goes on. Actually, I can safely say that most of the people I know in Austin are people I’ve met downtown. It’s gotten to a point now that people recognize me without even knowing me. When people walk to me and say “I’ve seen you around before…You look familiar”, I guess that’s a sign that I go out a lot.

However, I try to keep my eyes open when I’m downtown because I want to be part of the human experience that is the act of going out. The idea that people with different backgrounds decide to converge towards this area at night like the 5pm rush hour traffic. They all choose to be part of this common realm yet they all will experience it differently. Some go to get drunk. Some go to dance. Some work there. Some roll in groups. Some will be throwing up in an alley. Some go to specific bars to get hooked up. Some stand there and look pretty. Some want to get laid. Some don’t mind walking around all night. Some will get into a fight. Some want to hear some specific type of music. Some are entertainers. Some just want to take the edge after a long work week. And this list of factors is as long as you can imagine. In other words, our experiences in Austin’s nightlife are all unique, like snowflakes or fingerprints.

This is where The FeedBak comes in to capture all these unique experiences and put them all together into a myriad of stories for people to talk about. Actually, stories that people are already talking about amongst themselves. “What happened last night?”, “How was it?”, “Really, you danced on the bar?”,  “Damn, sounds like fun I shoulda been there!”, “So you ran into your ex-boyfriend, then what?”, “Oh I was jamming to what that DJ was playing!”,  “The place was packed!” Those are all things we’ve said and/or heard from our friends. Now through The FeedBak, you get your little personal blog to share your stories, insights, and observation about Austin’s nightlife. So once again, WELCOME.
