Take your pick. There are hundreds of places in Austin for music and booze. ---

**Sapphire Bullet** pulled me over here from GD. [Looking around bewildered] Isn’t anyone going to argue about the time and place?[/Looking around bewildered] I should be in. SG is close to home. I’m just glad it’s not going to happen up in North Austin (or is that South Round Rock):). ---

I found this when I did a search on my name. I’m really excited about moving to Austin in March (or maybe late February, depends on circumstances; I’d love to be there now, if I could.), and meeting you guys IRL! Robin ---

Oh, yeah, and any information on Austin is appreciated, especially good neighborhoods in South Austin/Kyle/Buda/Wimberley/San Marcos. Robin ---

**msrobyn** , I’m in South Austin, just south of the river. What are you looking for and what is your price range? ---

I’m looking for something in the general neighborhood of 6-900 a month, two or three bedrooms, and that allows pets. E-mail me (my e-mail’s in my profile). Thanks bunches! Robin ---

**YAY!** some actual traffic in this miserable, sad little thread! Hi TXLonghorn! Nice to see you here. We can argue about the time and place, if it will make you feel more at home 😉 Feb. 3 isn’t set in stone - if folks have a conflict let’s try to work around it. Max- Drunken debauchery? At Nerd’s place, of course! ---

Well, I’m a bit short on alcohol, but that’s easily fixed. After I clean it up a bit, my place should be fit for some debauchery. Bring it on! ---

I was only kidding, but cool, Nerd! I’m sure we can all trek over to one of the zillion liquor stores in Austin if necessary 🙂 ---

With a little under a week, I figured it’s time for some bumping, grinding action. Well, ok, grinding optional. ---

Ok, a slight wrinkle in my coming up. Mrs. robgruver will not be attending, so if possible I will need a ride from Houston to Austin and back. I would be happy to pay for gas and give great conversation throughout the ride. Also, I have recived an offer for a couch for the evening so I have a place to stay. I will prolly take it, but are there any hotels near the site? ---

I’m sorry to say that Purple Bear and I may not be able to attend. Purple Bear is currently in the hospital with a very bad kidney infection, **IF** she is released from the hospital today, we might be able to come up. I will post an up date as the situation developes.
