It looks like we will be in the Radisson Country Inn and Suites, 7400 IH-35, for at least one night and possibly both, as we will have enough comps accrued to stay for free.
It's about 4 miles north of downtown, or about five miles from the HITL, where we all were last year.
Let's sound off again for attendance please:
The Ditties, the c.i.'s, shewolfnm and hub, BillW and Mrs. ... who else?
I have just made our hotel reservation at Holiday Inn, Town Lake, from October 22 thru October 29. It seems to be in a good location, and will allow us to walk to many of the important sites. My wife saved a newspaper article on the Austin bats, but seems to have lost it. Can somebody provide some info? Thx, c.i.
Try this, c.i.:

I also just discovered that the Texas Book Festival is taking place the last weekend in October (28--31). Sy Hersh, Kinky Friedman, Molly Ivins and many more will make appearances (here's their
website).
Thanks PDid, Made a hard copy for the mrs.
Oh, what fun. I'm there with you, fill in the ephemeral suite as you wish.
(says she, who had a short but wonderful time in SF a few hours ago.....)
I'll be quiet, but I post to let you know some folks are following.
There will be a repeat of the antiques show around that week also.
The show is here in austin this weekend at the travis county expo center. I am going to that one. I beleive on thier road show was another stop in austin on the 24th of oct?
> running to check the flyer <
AAhhh.. crap.
Cant use the corporate discount on the hotel unless there are at minimal 7 UT employees on the register and there is some thing being shown / taught / etc... about the university.
Sorry. :-( I tried.
OK, c.i. will make my reservations now as well at the Holiday Inn for the same dates.
Wow PD sounds like we will have lots of things to do and see.
shewolf, Don't feel bad; your heart was in the right place, and that's all that matters in the end.
The Ditties, the imposters, shewolfnm and family, JoanneDorel.
BillW, you out there?
Anybody else? (Last call...)
hmm, that book festival sounds good..
anyone going?
It's the weekend after we are there, osso. I hate that I will miss it; Tartarin even e-mailed me to see if we were going.
OK; this is another sound-off for attendance. Who's in and who's out?
I am here but what hotel did you guys decide on? Can't wait to see you all again.
Me and Mrs. Dittie are
here, and c.i. and wife are where we were last year.
shewolfnm is a local.
I'm out, but I hope y'all have a great time!
Okie Dokie guess I will go with c.i. and do the Holiday Inn again this year.
Anyone talk to BillW lately?
I saw him over the Fourth of July holiday. He was pretty sure he was banned from A2K. Just can't stop himself from reacting to some of the political slime. PM me, and I'll give you his e-mail address. He'd probably love to come.
I don't think anyone can PM yet, Eva.
I just clicked on your PM icon and got some cute Craven stick figures.
Would you please go to my profile and send him my e-address (or send me his, whichever you prefer).
I rarely PM anyone, so I've been outta the loop. Sorry. I'll e-mail BillW your address, PD, and ask him to contact you.
(Edit: Oops...your address is not in your profile, PD.)
