Out of Towners

I'm coming in from the Rio Grande Valley, and while that isn't that far in the scheme of things, I would certainly appreciate the opportunity to couchsurf and/or get in touch with Austinites (Austinians? Austonians? Austinistas?) for fun fun fun outside of the festival.

im coming from northwest indiana (near chicago). if anyone wants to hang out, say hi, anything while i'm there that would be awesome. i signed up for couch surfing, but i dont really know how to use it that well. ha. me and a friend do need a place to stay, even for a night, while were there. so hello to everyone that gives a shit!

I will be coming from Albuquerque, NM with a friend or two. For other out of towners, there is a website called Couchsurfing.com

It is supposed to connect you with fellow travellers. They offer couches for you to sleep on and you do the same when they are in your neck of the woods. I am not on that site, but my sister is and said its awesome. I just would be careful! hehe

We should have an out-of-towner party.

I'll be coming in solo from sunny Arizona. I used to live in Texas when I was knee-high to a grasshopper, but haven't been back for at least 15 years. It'll be interesting to see how things have changed.

still not 100% sure if i'll be able to make it, but i'll be heading down from louisville, KY. saw that a couple of local bands are playing here (coliseum, young widows) and checked this out and now am giddy with the possibility of seeing all this awesomeness in one place.

im from El Paso which isnt that far but its still road trip status.

excited about my first Fun x3 Fest.

and an out of town party would be awesome haha

Me and some friends are driving down from Lubbock. Staying with friends and hotel rooms!

I'm driving down from the D/FW metromess. I know it's not as far as the other people that have posted in this thread. I do think it's tremendous how far many of you are traveling from. It makes me think of the time I took a Greyhound bus to Louisville, KY to attend the second Lebowskifest.

last year there were hotel packages...any word of them this year?

What fun, Patton. I bet you were a most excellent Maude. You've given me an idea.

lebowskifest has more and more severed toe costumes each year.

maybe all us out of towners can have a tailgating or hotel party!

are all of you out of state people driving or flying? because I drove to Bonnaroo from Plano, Tx, and it was 22+ hours of my life i'm never going to see again. Sadness. I'm really happy I only have a 4 hour drive there and back this time!

Only in Texas is an 8 or 9 hour drive "not that far" haha.

I'm coming from Birmingham, AL. I'm flying only because Southwest was having an *amazing* sale a few months back. Round trip tickets cost about half what gas would have cost!!
