    Pre and after party spots?

    Crown and Anchor Pub http://www.crownandanchorpub.com/ 0.8 miles from venue so can walk. And good Yelp reviews too http://www.yelp.com/biz/crown-and-anchor-pub-austin.


    Scholz http://www.scholzgarten.net/ This may also be good. 0.9 miles from venue so can walk too. Has outdoor biergarten and plenty of space. A fine bet if the weather is nice. Serves decent (not great) Texas bbq and German food). Good Yelp too. http://www.yelp.com/biz/scholz-garten-austin


    Maybe Scholz' before and Crown and Anchor after.....

    Any good spots even closer????

    Both of these spots are being considered as the official EV Pre-Party spot. I am organizing the pre-party now and will put up a FB page and official thread in the coming days. Getting the beneficiary locked down first, then will be selecting the venue.

    I think Double Tree guest suites is your cheapest closet best bet, but google for hotels neat UT Austin and you can start Google mapping the distances to Bass Hall.

    If you stay further south in downtown cabs should be about $7 each way, maybe less. Downtown has more hotels.

    I would not stay anywhere east of I-35 if you plan to walk. Could be a little sketchy.

    P.S. Downtown Radission is a good mid-price hotel in prime A+ Austin location. Probably 2 to 2.5 miles from Bass Hall ($6 cab ride).

    I'll be in Austin, Dallas & Houston :) Got the email that I was drawn for Austin tickets today :) I'll have to try hard for the public sale of the other two shows on Friday! Best of Luck to everyone buying tickets Friday!!

    I'm looking for something close by as well. Might be interested in splitting a room. My brother was initially into the idea of going to the show but may have cooled on it.

    Lots of good Mexican food joints close by, too. El Chile, Vivo, Mi Madres...all just a 5 minute drive from the Venue. Texas Chili Parlor is also a good possibility for pre-game....great margaritas and of course, chili.

    tips for Austin show from long time Austinite...

    The show is technically on campus of The University of Texas at Austin in case you all haven't figured that out yet...so parking is a bit tricky around campus..get there early but DO NOT PARK IN AREA THAT REQUIRES PARKING PERMIT..easy way to get a $35 UT parking ticket..(that money could be better spent at the merch booth)..Crown and Anchor is a good pub pre show place but I highly recommend Trudy's Tex/ Mex on Guadalupe St. & 30th (409 W 30th St, Austin, TX 78705) which is 1.5 miles from the venue. The food is amazing and the Mexican Martini's are the best in town....http://www.trudys.com/trudys-central.php

    A cool and inexpensive place to stay in the south congress area is Austin Motel...very "Austin" prices are reasonable...http://www.austinmotel.com/

    Hope this helps...
