Austin Texas Blender Group?

Hi All,

I’d like to start an Austin Texas Blender Group, maybe via MeetUp.com, and want to see if there are any Austin area Blender enthusiasts who would want to join?

(If there already is a group someone knows about, let me know!)

If there is enough interest, I’ll create a MeetUp group or we can simply organize it here. Not sure if MeetUp is used enough or would generate more members, but I like the idea of getting the group “out there” so that more people can find it.

Thanks!
Mike

I’m up in Waco and could make it down every now and then…as long as gas stays under $5 a gallon!

Excellent. I saw two names on MeetUp (haven’t contacted them yet), who expressed interest in an Austin area group once it was formed, so I figured why not form one?

And that’s four people already!

I would like to get just a few more, if possible. I’ll let you know via this thread or a PM within the next week or so. I’d like to get it going soon as well, maybe by June.

For sure drop me a PM, or something here. If you get a place and time we can post on Austin Indies facebook too and I’m sure that will draw out more! Good luck with this!

I live up in Fort Hood, I’d be interested once I get back from this tour.

Sounds great. I’m probably not going to bother with MeetUp because they charge a fee for the organizer…so what’s the point if we can announce it here and or Facebook as Lorax mentioned.

Anyway, I’m going out of town this week on business, so when I get back Monday I’ll continue on this.

As far as locales…my apartment complex has a meeting room which I could potentially use after checking them. Only thing is it’s in Buda (about 15 minutes south of Austin) so that will be a bit more driving for most Austin folks. We’ll see.

Did this idea die? I am in Austin and I have been using Blender for quite a while, including in commercial application (a video game).

Hey, this idea isn’t dead.
Obviously there was enough interest.
Let’s just get er done.
Meetup next week sometime.

Let’s figure out where makes sense geographically for everyone.
I live near i35 and E 11th.

hey! i live in Copperas Cove, and i dont mind making the drive to austin 1nc a month. as long as i can easily find the meet spot. although next week is kinda outta my schedule aahaha :smiley:

Hey moose,

I think we should shoot for the first week of december. I might be able to book a library room that has wifi. Or there’s a cool cafe called Rio Ritas down on east 6th.

I missed your response cause I’d ticked the “notify me” box you find on the advanced reply page, but i hadn’t changed the menu default to give it straight to my email. Should be more prompt responding next time.
