    Lol (re: "the lamest question ever")! Thanks for taking one for the team, though. I'm sure we all appreciate the update.

      They should have sent info via email a couple of weeks ago.

      If they expect people to travel, then they need to give ample time to prepare.
      I'm sure it'll be an option next year...but you'll have to pay an extra $5.

        I likely won't be going to the fest, but I do live here in Austin, so if anyone wants to set up a DDer get-together I'm down.

        I went a few times back in the 90s but haven't been since. Kinda wish I was going this year. My old college Prof (Greg Garrett) is gonna mod on the panels and Brandt and Haas are gonna be there too (also Baylor alums).

          If you're there anyway, why not go? I went 2 years ago and had a blast.

            Wish I could go too. I'm over here in Houston, but I can't go either. I wish I could though! Would love to meet some of you DDers

                  Austin, if you are listening, won't you please switch to email next year?

                  1. You are the last contest still using snail mail (even Nicholl switched a year ago).
                  2. You seem to know how to use email, judging by the amount of promotional messages I receive from you in my inbox.
                  3. Switching will save trees.
                  4. It will save you money.
                  5. It will make your contestants happier, because they will receive the news faster and all at the same time, whether they live in Austin or Tibet.

                  If we want the warm and fuzzy of holding a piece of paper announcing our 2nd round placement, we can always print the email out ourselves. Or print it out and burn it in the case of not advancing

                  But please do keep the phone calls. Those are a classy touch.

                  Respectfully Yours,
                  A loyal contestant

                      Is Austin's area code 888? Or 866?
