Ask HN: Any HN readers in Austin, Texas?
I see a lot of San Fran stuff on here, and that makes a lot of sense. The start up scene in Austin isn't exactly dead and I was wondering if there were any like-minded hackers in the Austin area that wouldn't mind getting together for anything and everything, disc golf, business, etc.?

Hey everyone. Didn't seem like a lot of people saw my previous message.
skottie at connersc dot com Please email me with some info - I'd really like to get a social/hacker network going in Austin. I know there is Door64/Cocoa Coders/etc, but I'm thinking something for ourselves.
I'm planning on going disc golfing at circle C this weekend (slaughter area) if you guys would like to come along for a casual meet up.
If you suck, don't worry. It will be my first time playing in months, as I had back surgery over the summer.
There is obviously enough interest, and once I have people's contact information I'll start a phpBB or google group so we have our own little home.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Here is a little about me so I'm not a complete stranger: http://www.connersc.com/blog (as if you couldn't have figured that one out).

I am.
There is at least one site (Door64) dedicated specifically to Austin tech, that has regular networking events. It may be interesting to join them because of the focus on Austin.

Thanks for the replies guys! Nice to know I'm not alone. I've been to Door64 events and they seem like a great place to network. It looks like there's enough going on here - so lets take this off line. If you guys could e-mail me your contact information to:

Austin Ho!

Nice tip about Door64 -- I live here in Austin but hadn't run across them.
Another UT student here. I've been reading HN for a ages and signed up just so I could reply to this; we should get a meet-up going some time.
I do. Going to UT at the moment. Was about to post this same thing after seeing the SF post, looked down the page and there it was :)
I am in Austin but mostly a lurker on HN.
I have lots of ideas for start-ups but none compelling enough to make me quit my day job.

I'm about 90 miles away in College Station. Not too much goes on around here even though Texas A&M is here in town.
Austin, UT, international student here. Started with HN pretty recently after getting tired of proggit.
I am also in Atx, and would be interested. I got a ton of ideas, and working on one now...
Austin here and I would be interested in a meet-up.
I’m in the Austin area, but occasionally in the heat of the summer I start longing for the cooler temperatures of Seattle or Silicon Valley, lol.
It sure gets hot in Texas. :-)
