Bump. Just about 6 weeks away until Showtime!

I've updated the initial posting with up-to-date donations and added the Facebook event link for the Saturday pre-party. If you are Facebook and haven't checked out our FB event pages, what are you waiting for??? Check it out, mark yourself as attending and spread the word!!

We are still looking for donations. Even if you aren't going to make it to Austin, if you are wanting to still participate you can always mail us something. We will get you the proper receipts for your donation. Thanks to everyone out there that have already sent in items for the raffle. Keep it coming! This is going to be a blast. The Innocence Project of Texas and The Local Pub and Patio are 100% supportive and can't wait to have us. Let's make it awesome.

One more super important note.... Next weekend is the 2012 Team McCready Global Event. This will be my 3rd year attending. It is always a blast and you never know who will show up. Two years ago Mr. McCready made a stop at the Seattle event and last year he stopped by the shindig in NYC. We are heading up to NYC next weekend to attend the NYC event again this year. It's always so much fun and a lot of money is raised for some very good people.

Check this thread. There may be a Team McCready gathering near you!

Man, if you guys have extra time while you're in Austin, look up The Salt Lick... best BBQ of all time, and it's BYOB.... absolutely amazing spot, but it's on the outskirts of the city...

I'm not a big meat eater but I've had Salt Lick bbq and it was kinda awesome!

I googlemaps the pre-party address for food close by, and found this: http://www.polkadotscupcakefactory.com/

Screw dinner, I'm having cupcakes and beer

The Pre-Party is literally right next to a decent diner called Kerbey Lane. There may also be a food trailer at the pre-party. It is on a street (Guadalupe) with lots of shops and restaurants including a couple decent pizza places, chipotle, potbelly sandwich, one of the 10 best wing bars in the country according to USA Today called Pluckers is just a couple blocks away. Austin is a foodie paradise. If you want to go to Salt Lick, just know that it is about 30 minutes from downtown. It is an experience you will not forget. I am sure Bryan and I would be happy to help you meet your foodie needs in Austin. Tell us what you need and we will be your concierge.

Please Note: While Austin is maybe the greatest city ever (bias), parking and traffic are bad. The Pre-Party venue has limited parking, as does the show venue, so give yourself time to get wherever you are going.

Thanks for the info! Any recommendations for good coffee and good breakfast? I guess probably closer to 6th st area rather than pre-party, for when I get up the next morning

Very jealous... If I could afford the extra time off work i'd meet you there!

When I hit up Austin,I always seem to find myself at Opal Devines for breakfast when we're in a hurry.... if we're not there's this place we hit up last time called Magnolia Cafe... you'll have to drive there from 6th street, but it's worth the trip (and the wait)...

Who needs food, when you have music, beer and soon to be good friends! Can't get better than this. Whose airport has displays of multi colored guitars by the baggage claim. You can't go wrong!

Now I'm really getting excited. have listened to PJ Radio for a month non-stop. I can sing along to any song anyone pulls out now :-)

Great to know the pre party is a micro brew. those make the best hang outs.
