So guys. If I can manage to secure the same venue for both nights, that would be a good thing, right?

Convenience, less travel, centralized location... works for me.

Hashing things out with the fiance to see if we can take a trip to Austin while in the midst of wedding planning.

Earlier I know the date, earlier I can book that Friday off of work. Austin's awesome. Though the weather is going to be awful and I disapprove of that. Drinking copious amounts of beer fights off humidity, right?

I guess I should, like, do a Songfight now?

Bjam, I'm working on securing a date ASAP. Got a meeting with the booking guy from my #1 venue choice today. The date of the event will depend on venue availability, so it's kind of up to them, but I want to be able to announce in a week or less.

Jon just keyed me into this thread, I've been away from the boards. All I can say is I desperately want WreckdoM to play, I'm out of town the weekends of 8/23 & 8/31, and my birthday is 8/9, so this could either be the greatest birthday ever or the worst travel fail of all time, depending on the date it ends up being (fingers crossed )

I'm shooting for August 16-17, but I'm really at the mercy of the venue schedules here. I'm trying to make it official within DAYS.

Okay guys. I've got some good news (unless you're fluffy):

I have secured a venue for both nights and a date.
We'll be having our shows on August 9th and 10th at Kick Butt Coffee, Music, & Booze.

http://www.kickbuttcoffee.com/ourstore.htm
http://www.yelp.com/biz/kick-butt-coffe ... oze-austin


Start making plans accordingly.

And again, I'm very sorry, fluffy. Your presence will be sorely missed.

If it makes you feel any better, Fluffy, I rather doubt I'll be joining the party this year. We can just badmouth everything from afar on the boards...

Those dates should work for me...I'm in!

(Maybe I should actually participate in a fight so that I have new material to play...)
