Happy Friday everyone!
The announcement that Netroots Nation is coming to Austin next year has delighted the Texas Netroots. I am going to ask my fellow Texas bloggers to help put together a bunch of posts for everyone who's planning to travel here for the convention next year.
What we need is community input. What do you guys want/need to know about Austin?
I've been grinding my gears on this, and I think that a few basic categories of posts would be helpful:
* accomodations
* dining
* clubbing/live music
* public transportation/getting around Austin
* outdoors/parks/recreation
* museums/arts
Is there another category of posts that would be particularly helpful to you out of staters? Also, what specifically would you like to know about dining, accomodations, clubbing, etc etc?
We'd like to try and make this as comprehensive and helpful as possible. So, speak up! Let us know what you need to know and I'll pass the info along so we Texbloggers can get to writing this stuff up.
We are so happy that the convention is coming to Texas and we look forward to showing off our beautiful capitol. It truly is an oasis of sanity in this state, and I am personally grateful to Gina and the NN PAC for picking Austin as the host city. This is going to be a helluva good time.
