[Robotgroup] SXSW/EFF/Dorkbot?

[marvart at txwinet.com]

Andre, the confusion is all about "Keep Austin Wierd". Your girl friend
can use  RSVP- Dr. Meta Stone. He is a friend of mine from Galesburg
Illinois that can't make it. It is a RSVP for two. There is a large
parking lot on 8th just North of the event that should be available. To
see the music events, you will have to pay scalper prices. The cost a few
month ago was about $80.00, they went quick.  Good luck,  Marvin
