    Yeah I'd like to know of a nice but close place to stay near the venue. I'll look into some places and maybe the hosts of the preparty can help with recommending something that many of us out of towners can book.

    Hotels are all a question of what is your budget and what do you want to be close to. The venue is on campus and the pre-party is on the street right next to campus. There are not too many hotels right near either location. 4th and 6th Street is where the party happens at night, but the locals prefer Rainey Street and South Congress so most people would probably choose to be near there. Hotels are pretty pricy that weekend. Most celebs stay at The Four Seasons. There is a Super 8 for something cheap, The Doubletree or the Radisson for something generic, the Austin Motel or the San Jose Hotel on South Congress for something unique, and the Driskill or Four Seasons for something high end. I would recommend staying West of Interstate 35 unless you are adventurous. A couple people have booked at the Extended Stay as well for these shows.

    Whenever I'm in Austin, I always try to stay at the extended stay at the corner for 6th and Guadaluape.... it's nothing fancy, but the location can't be beat and I'm booked there for 119/night for that weekend with 2 double beds... the rooms have a kitchenette and full size fridge...

    Also, they don't require you to pay a deposit or in advance... just give a credit card number and you have up until 5 pm the day of your scheduled arrival to cancel...

    I'd highly recommend the place....

    Thanks for all the tips on where to stay. Now, hopefully I can re-convince my brother on coming with me after he initially said he was in but then his interest waned. Really want to make this trip to celebrate my birthday with an EV show!

    I'll be there +1 if I can make it work. Thanks again for the tips.

    Awesome! The list is growing by the day. Keep spreading the word and building momentum. Also, we are working on something for night 2 but have nothing to confirm yet. Hopefully early next week.

    We are still in need for donations. If you have any old PJ Tshirts, Albums, Posters, just sitting around collecting dust, now would be a great time to set them free!!
  • cmmac80cmmac80 Posts: 75
    I'll be there +1. The Austin shows will be my first solo's plus first time in Texas, can't wait!
    I suggest you step out on your porch...

    Good news! I've been hoping for a 2nd night party! We're flying in Saturday. Hubby and I are going to the show with 2 friends who live in Austin, so there will be 4 of us at the party! Looking forward to it! :D

    Would you like to get adjoining rooms? :lol:

    Glad to be of service - I'm driving up from Houston Friday afternoon, will probably get there around 3 or 4 pm - most likely head somewhere for a bite then to the pre-party... shoot me a PM if you want to get together - I may be travelling solo, so a PJ friend would be much appreciated.... ;)
