How to Rock SXSW 2009

If you don't have enough crag in your life, shove some gear into that already slammed suitcase and bag a cab with your new bffs all the way to the rock gym in Austin, TEXAS!!! That's right ladies and germs, there is a whole lotta fake rock waiting for you to send sxsw style so put your name on the list and pick your prefferred time(s).

We had a slight cab issue on the way back last year (and were so kindly saved by the RVIPLounge but I think its pretty booked this year) so if a lot of people are signed up I'll try and coordinate some transportation. Shooting to get everything coordinated by Thursday so everyone can plan accordingly.

UPDATE: It's on!

Ok climbers, since some of you are already arriving in Austin let's settle on a time! It looks like:

• Sunday March 15 from 5-7pm. Upcoming: http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/2152900/
• 4:45pm let's meet at the Hilton in the lobby by the waterfall and cab it over (dm eleddy if you can't find it). 

I'll make sure we have at least two cabs ready to go and scheduled to take us back around 7 so as not to miss out on any festivities. We can always plan a followup monday or tuesday.  See you in Austin!
