I'm flying into Austin Aug 19th could use some tips
coming in from Boston- need a place to stay
Aug 19 and Aug21, want to head up/ or rent
a car on Saturday the 20th overnight if possible.

I'll bring fresh lobster!

Would love to join a car pool.

Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
PVD

1. I maybe going up Saturday, haven't decided yet.
I'm sure I could find you a place to stay, if you haven't gotten a better offer. Between my apartment, and my spouse's house, should be able to find room. Aslong as you aren't allergic to cats.

2. Gosh, wish I could go this Saturday
I'm on call for the hospital Friday night-

But sounds like they want us to keep going
for the entire month of August.

Thanks for your kindness.

10. You're welcome!
Just remember, this used to be a Democratic state. Plenty of us are still here. We're not all whackjobs.

But don't flip the finger to anyone driving up. You never know what could happen! Ever seen that miovie "Duel" with Dennis Weaver?

11. Yeah, I'm in Austin. Didn't realize you meant next weekend but
offer's still there next weekend, too. I don't know what the rest of the Austin gang is planning--they don't tell me much, for some reason. Probably because I'm boring.

One more note: I'm vegetarian, so the lobster would probably be rescued and made a pet! :-) There are Austinites willing to rip the poor little dear into bite-sized morsels, though, I'm sure.

Well behaved women rarely make history!

This gets you from Bergstrom Airport (east of town) to Crawford.

Sorry I'm not in town anymore, or I could offer you a place to stay.

6. You're flying into oasis of sanity, to drive through the desert of wacky?
If you're going to Crawford, make sure to turn left just before you get to Wacko. Physically, as well as politically, Bush lives just on the fringe of the looniest of the religious right.

:hippie:

9. That's kind of the point here, isn't it?
No one is flying into Austin to party and comfortable in Liberal-land. They're flying into Austin to go to Crawford. To fight evil, you have to go where the evil is.
