Yeah, weather was awesome, hit 6th street hard, caught a crawfish boil and country concert saturday afternoon and was generally in love with the laid back, super friendly folks in Austin.

I am going to go check it out before the May 5 deadline. Pretty sure it's where I want to be, though other schools have offered me more cash. Did any of you negotiate, and if so, how did you go about it and what was the result?

And I want a free tee too.


PM'd you
