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:
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!

*Hey guys, Not sure if this is the place to be leaving this msg, or to whom it should go, but... I'm a local climber, coach the kids climbing team here in Austin, and also attending SXSWi. I'd love to go with you guys, unfortunately I'll have to be around ACC till after 7. However I also wanted to mention that the North gym is having a climbing clinic on saturday (I guess that's today) with Joe Kinder. Also, Sunday day out door climbing at reimers ranch (about 25-35 mins outside of town) there is a sport climbing competition called "<A HREF=http://www.ctmrocks.com/web/Limestoner_Register.htm">The Limestoner</A>." Also I'm not sure how many of you guys are sticking around after, but I'd love to go climbing with anyone on Wednesday next week. I guess the best way to reach me is via e-mail: limorama@gmail.com I'm also on twitter as limorama
Hope I get to meet up with some of you dudes!
