Early Risers Birding BOF

Any other birders interested in getting out in the cool of the morning to check out some of the local eBird hotspots? There are a number of greenbelts along creeks that flow into the Colorado River within walking distance of the con. Bring your binoculars and a field guide and come add some species to your year (or life) list!

Conversations about Drupalizing the birdwatcher community also welcome!

This is kind of a late addition, so give me a shout @daletrexel on Twitter if you want to schedule something!

Happy hour or coffee and tell me about Drupal!

I am not attending the conference, but I live in Austin and am currently participating in a sustainable MBA program based out of Seattle. My team is developing a business model that would teach female prisoners how to code in prison (1-2yrs) and hire them as Drupal web developers post-release.

I would love to take advantage of the influx of Drupal experts and get someone's feedback about the challenges and viability of this business idea, and their opinion on whether Drupal is a good fit for this project.

Local hospitality in exchange for your knowledge and opinion!

Wayne's World Quote-Along at the Alamo Ritz - 7PM Thursday Night

Is anyone interested in going to the Wayne's World quote-along at the Alamo Ritz on Thursday night? I had a lot of fun the last time I saw a movie here. You basically eat while you watch the movie. And it's usually a pretty fun-loving crowd. :)

Here are more details: http://drafthouse.com/movies/quote_alongs_waynes_world/austin

"It's Wayne's World! It's Wayne's World! PARTY TIME! ...EXCELLENT!"

You'll laugh, you'll cry... you'll hurl. You know the story -- two slacker friends have a local cable access show that gets picked up for professional broadcast and things get awesome....NOT! Wayne falls for the majorly babelicious bass-playing Tia Carrere, while the slimy Rob Lowe tries to steal her away. Meanwhile, Garth sha-wings his way into the arms of a truly Foxy Lady, and then there are all sorts of different endings!

At this special Action Pack Quote-Along presentation of the film, we're going to have Wayne's World hats available for everyone, plus Red Vines just like the kind Wayne and Garth eat from in the car, and tiny paper cups just in case you need to spew! We'll have subtitles on screen along with the movie so you can quote all of your favorite lines out loud in time with the film, and of course we'll also have titles to help you sing-along to "Bohemian Rhapsody" and all of the other amazing music in the movie. You'll have so much fun you'll think you're not worthy, so Party On! (Henri Mazza)

Note: The WAYNE'S WORLD hat and other show props are included in the ticket price.

The convention center is very close to what looks like some nice singletrack. Any Drupalers want to ride evenings after the conference?

Barton Creek Greenbelt is a few minutes away: http://www.austinbike.com/austin/74-bcgb

City Park is further away and would require a car: http://www.austinbike.com/austin/85-city-park

Looking for help from better event planners than myself: how do I find a good space for board gaming (on Wednesday night)?

We'll need lots of good-size, maybe banquet tables, and it should be SUPER close to the convention center, so people can get there easily.

Under-the-radar vegan dining outing(s). . . .

Not an attention grab, just a chance to get some plant-based calories together in Austin.

Last year in Portland we had an impromptu group head out to a respectable restaurant you'd swear was on Portlandia. . . .

Anyway, if someone local can offer possible options here, go ahead and start listing some. Thanks.

Assuming there's not a band booked that night.
