Come join us for casual drinks at The Ranch- all types are welcome! We are technologists, authors, fashionistas, foodies and more.
It's a FREE event with no dumb games, no self-important lecturer, no entry fee pocketed by anyone, just good old fashioned getting to know Austinites over a drink. Just BYOW (bring your own wallet) for drinks and food (they make a mean pannini), and the first batch of attendees get a free drink ticket!
Roving photographer @imrphoto will be taking pictures, but you don't have to dress up, you already look great! :)
Doors open at 6:00, and you can stay as late as you want (until the bar closes)!
Great food trucks or JBlack's nearby for dinner, so come early to get good parking (or umm, you can tottaly VALET, it costs the same as surface parking, or you can get street parking).
