I'll point that I'm only including folks I know are coming. So if you think you belong to one these groups (or you've decided you should), add yourself! Then ping me, we'll have a beer, or a coffee, or some other form of sustenance.

 

Folks I've promised to have beers with but haven't arranged anything yet

• Todd Sieling
• Scott Kveton
• Damon Clinkscales
• Nate Koechley

Places that have been recommended

1. www.saltlickbbq.com/
2. Trudys for migas ; NOTE: the primary reason to go there is the Mexican Martini.  I recommend the Patron SIlver for the tequila selection and a side dish of olives. Queso Especial also goes well with the chips and green salsa on this [damon].
3. www.ironworksbbq.com/restaurant-menu.asp   100 Red River (few blocks south of 6th Street)
4. www.myspace.com/lovejoys  A bar you might like, or not.  604 Neches St. = just north of 6th Street

6. conanspizza.com/central   Chicago style deep dish pizza from heaven
7. www.halcyonaustin.com The Halcyon Coffee Bar/Lounge - reasonable coffee, good toasted sandwiches, s'mores (which are apparently amazing, though I didn't try them), free wifi, loads of couches on W 4th St, not far from the Hampton

9. Ringside at Sullivans - burgers and beer are good in the casual bar area, normally live music of some kind playing too
10. The Ginger Man - fantastic bar, largest number of beers I've *ever seen* on tap. Try Fat Tire, Fireman's #4.
11. Enoteca Vespaio - great little deli style cafe at 1610 S. Congress where you can get breakfast, lunch & dinner. Lovely food.
