Howdy everyone!

Due to the Christmas holiday, we will be having a social event in lieu of a standard meeting. Normal meeting schedule resumes in January!

Party!

It’s time for the Second Annual Austin on Rails / Refresh Austin party and this time the fine folks of WordPress Austin will join us as co-hosts. Even better, the first 100 people to join us at the party will get a free drink thanks to our neighbor Rackspace (they’re right down the road in San Antonio).

December 9th, 7:00 p.m. Buffalo Billiards, 6th and Brazos

For December, Austin on Rails is shifting from our normal presentation-based format to a purely social gathering. We love to join up with other great tech groups in Austin, and this time we’ll be co-hosting the event with our friends at Refresh Austin. There’s some decent overlap between our groups, and it’ll be a great chance to catch up with friends you may not have seen in a while as well as meet new friends as passionate about the Web and technology as we are.

Next week, we’re going to join up with the Refresh Austin group on Tuesday night (12/9 at 7pm), for pints of beer and billiards at Buffalo Billiards on 6th. It’s become a bit of a tradition in Austin on Rails to have a holiday party in December. It’s still geeking out, but just with more beer and bar games.

This is a low frills shindig conceived so we can meet some more good web peeps here in town and chill out as a group in a social setting.
