Y'all, I'm feeling awful wistful and nostalgic these days.
For a bit, I thought I missed the old days of Austin on Rails but, just between you and me, I just miss y'all. I miss spending an evening at the pub with you folks, dishing that hot goss and planning schemes and dreaming big dreams.
It's no secret what happened - life and kids and work and shifts in priority. I get it. We all get it.
You can't step into the same river twice, said Heraclitus. I say we prove that jerk wrong.
Let's get together and sit and drink and talk and think and scheme and dream - add a comment if you're interested along with dates and times that work for you. This ain't a democracy but we can do our best to accomodate the most we can. This also ain't exclusionary - if you're reading this and don't feel like you were a part of the OG AoR scene but for some reason want to join us, you're heckin invited too. I've got a drink and a smile for all y'all.
Hey all, I hope you don't mind me doing a little promo work in this thread. I won't do it again if anyone is opposed. And even if no one minds, I'll keep it to the bare minimum. I promise. With that said...
I just opened the CFP for RBQ 2026. Enjoyed hanging with many of you during XO Ruby and would love to get y'all out for this event if you're interested. tickets will be going on sale soon as well.
Finally, The last austinrb event of 2025 is coming up on Dec, 9th. It's sponsored and we'd love to have y'all come out if you can. we'll have apps, pizza and maybe some drinks as well.
