Visiting Phoenix and Austin

Filed under: Me — Jeffrey Yasskin @ 12:49 am

Over the break, I’m visiting Phoenix and Austin. This entry is here to help me keep track of everything, and partly to beg rides, and lodging from Austinites.

(Way too much fun with this table)
Depart Arrive
San Jose 8:40am Fri 23 Dec 11:30am Phoenix
Phoenix 10:20am Wed 28 Dec 1:30pm Austin
Austin 8:05pm Mon 02 Jan 10:55pm San Jose

I’m hoping to hang out with the wondrous Sunshine on the afternoon of the 28th. I’ll probably be calling people tomorrow to ask for places to sleep and rides to and from Pallas (Friday to Sunday: won’t be in Austin then). Volunteers for the airport rides would be appreciated.

On presents: (Yes, this is very late.) If there’s anything in particular you want, ask for it. If not, I may have seen something recently that struck me as perfect for you. If so, I probably got it. Otherwise, sorry, I’ll keep my eyes open (KMEO) specifically for you. (It’s silly to give gifts only at Yule time.) On the other hand, I’m going to San Francisco on Thursday for the specific purpose for K-ingMEO, so if there are any shops you know of that I might particularly want to KMEO in, please comment. Suggestions for a better acronym are also welcome. Don’t get me presents. It will be enough to see my Austinites.
