sounds like a great idea. I'm in Austin myself. Would be great to have a round-table discussion over some lone stars and margeritas
the other neat thing about Austin is that its also home to Modern Domainer magazine
If enough people are serious we could even try to facilitate this into some type of sponsored event. I've been thinking of getting in touch with them anyway so I'd be happy to take the lead in contacting them.
I think having the local monthly meetups is still a great idea since i doubt everyone would care to drive out to Austin 12 times a year. So lets do that and then we can organize a semi-annual Texan Domainers event here in Austin! I'm willing to do a lot of the legwork. What do y'all say?
