MeFi IRL

Dear Austin friends, it has been a long time since I've seen your smiling faces. We're in town for the Rhiannon Giddens concert on Thursday night and have Saturday afternoon open. I don't know where a good meetup place would be, but ideally it would be outdoors with a shaded patio for health reasons. Would love to find a good place and see y'all! Radio East, 3 PM onward. Looking forward to seeing those who can make it!
