There’s no SoCo district, no high-rise downtown lofts, no Long Center for the Performing Arts or Blanton Museum of Art. There’s no East Austin Studio Tour or ACL Music Festival. Whole Foods Market is tucked away next to Book People across the street from an abandoned car lot. But as you walk around Austin, you realize that there’s an energy that will take Austin down a special path. Whether you talk about music (Nick Barbaro and Louis Black), architecture (Charles Moore), entrepreneurship (Michael Dell) or many other topics, there were visionaries who had cultivated this energy before most of us even made it to Austin. This energy was the inspiring force behind TRIBEZA more than a decade ago. Over the years, it has shaped the substance of every issue that we produced. Go out today and take stock of what you see around you. In 10 years, it will certainly be unrecognizable once again. I look forward to seeing Austin’s next creative explosion unfolding in the pages of TRIBEZA.” -z a r g h u n d e a n , Founder of TRIBEZA
