Assuming the county burn ban remains lifted, Boren and I intend to have a big ol’ Texas cedar fire in my back yard during, immediately before, or immediately after South by Southwest Interactive. A bunch of Automattic employees and WordPress contributors are expected.
If you are seriously interested in getting away from Austin (about 45 minutes) to throw small trees on a large fire, please tell me your best evening for this activity. Please also specify whether you will be able to provide responsible transportation for others.
UPDATE: Leaning toward the 16th based on a few answers. Would coinciding with the closing parties be a feature or a bug?

Yes. I’m in the 9th-17th…. Any of the days before or after are best.
A Tuesday or Wednesday evening works best for me, but I’ll make it work no matter what the day.
I can make it any night from 12th-16th. I could make it on the 17th if I had a place to crash for the night and it isn’t too expensive to rebook my flight for the 18th.
I could more than likely make sure you’re covered for a place to stay if you need one. The girl lives in Austin and owns her house.
I’m on the fence about attending SXSW, but if I do I’ll be at the bonfire for sure!
Any night 12th – 16th except the 15th works for me. Will not be able to provide any transportation — hoping to acquire that from some other responsible adult 🙂
By the end of it, probably a feature. Might be nice for a more subdued evening to end the week.
Please remember that our house and a pile of rubble do bear a passing resemblance and then take a match to the right one. Non-tech speaking significant others more than welcome.
I’ll be around the 10th-21st.
I will be in town the 11th through the 16th, excited because this is my first SXSW. Not sure how available I will be, all of this depends on what my boss wants me to see
Wednesday night would be good for me. St. Patty’s day bonfire anyone?
When you say 45 minutes from Austin, is that East, West or North?
Thanks,
Peter
West. Dripping Springs.
I’m down and at SXSWi 12-16.
Jess and I will be in town from the 11th through the morning of the 17th.
I’m interested! What are the dates and details?
