Same situation as you guys, hoping UT can get me back to CA.

It's reassuring just to know that other people are concerned with this. I've been imaging UT = Texas forever. Though that wouldn't be all that bad, my family is in CA.

Well. California would be great. But I'd be just as happy with Portland, Seattle or Boise. Not because Boise is as cool as L.A. or San Diego on it's own. It's just that's where I'm from.

I can't join you guys but do the wine sampler out in the cellar to the side. :-) I tried the Salt Lick's "BBQ red" and I actually preferred it to some of the non-house wines. It had kind of a smokey finish. A little out there but very enjoyable!

You wouldn't stick out....

About the Salt Lick, the original one is about 40 minutes from campus. It's BYOB too. Here's the website:

Nah. It's a work hat. I'd look like a complete hick.

But if I attend, I'm buying a black felt Stetson the first week I'm there.

Okay...so Thursday night then? I potentially have to work until 6, but I could meet people after I finish closing. How does that sound?

Would Saturday work? I think there's a banquet on Thursday night.

Ok! Saturday would actually be waaay better for me if it works for everyone else.

i'm leaving town saturday afternoon.

Hey if any guys haven't made reservations yet and want to share a room (and the costs) I'm at the super 8 near campus and have an extra bed. I get there on Thursday and I'm leaving Saturday. just pm if you want to do it.

I'm gonna be there from Thursday afternoon to Saturday morning and I'm so excited! I may or may not have packed my bag full of warm weather clothes last Friday in preparation...I'm ready for some segway tours, barbecue, and general UT awesomeness!

It's supposed to hit 90 on Friday!

Time to the sandals out of the back of my closet!!

I'll be there for the OMV on April 8th. I'm getting excited.

So when and where is this BBQ happening? Also, I'm roadtripping out there with a non-law school friend, is it kosher to bring him to a TLS meetup or are we too cool?

The more the merrier in my mind...

Last I heard we are thinking Saturday?

You guys should hit up Shakespeares on 6th street on Thursday night. Sure its full of undergrads, but they have 5 dollar liquor pitchers, which is badass. I think the cran/vodka is probably best bang for your buck. You should check out 6th street, its a lively and fun place. Ill answer any questions you guys have about areas around austin and what to do.

Ohhhhh shit...

I went there on New Years. It was really great. Drinks were STRONG.

Haha yea 2 and your good to go. They do put a lot of ice though, so its not as insane as it sounds.

So, I would be down for 6th Street/Salt Lick on Thursday or Friday night, but am leaving at like 3pm on Saturday so can't do dinner Saturday.

We could do 6th on Friday night and Salt Lick on Saturday?

6th is pretty easy to get to/we can go much later so it'll be easier to do on Friday.

Could we do Salt Lick on Saturday for lunch? I'm thinking it would be a shame to miss it..

Maybe we could do two Salt Lick runs. I can't go Saturday lunch though, I have work from 9:30-2 (blech).

It's alright, we should do 6th Street either Thursday or Friday night (I vote Friday), I'll hit up Salt Lick when I come to find an apartment.
