Paleo f(x) is now a week away and I wanted to post this new discussion for those of us attending so we can meetup and coordinate.

I'll be flying into Austin next Thursday, 4/23 and also renting a car. My plan is to just wander the exhibit halls and meet you all. I'll be staying in Austin through Sunday, and not flying back until Monday. At present, my itinerary is completely open ... so post what you all have planned while in Austin. Let's meetup!

    Looks like I am going for a bit. I'll arrive sometime Friday. Not sure when. I hope for the whole day but that probably won't happen. Definitely want to make the carb panel Kiefer is on (around 2:30) And the Body IO Coaching meet up. Which includes a group CarbNite. That should be interesting.....an epic CarbNite with my coach. Who had me dial back my epic car nites ;)

    Saturday I registered for Jen Sinklers workshop, and the Robb Wolf lunch thing. The lunch "community chat" one is free, but limited...its with Robb and Dr Parsley, the sleep expert. Register immediately if interested. I did as soon as I got the email yesterday. Don't know if it's sold out. If any of you register, let me know and we can try to sit together at lunch.

    Speaking of sold out. Too bad the BBQ dinner is....I saw its at Terry Blacks. I ate there last month LOVED their brisket.

    However, it looks like there's a gap between end of seminars Saturday and the 8:30 dinner. Might be a good time to meet up. I figure during the day we'll all be rushing from seminar to seminar. I'm still trying to figure out how to be in two places at the same time during some of the time slots.

    I'm so excited to get to meet all of you!! Arturo, Caroline and I are also going to wander exibit hall! Have you already gotten your tickets for that. I can get you a one-day pass for exibit hall if that helps. We will be in very late Friday night (really in San Antonio Friday night) so we will be all over exibit hall stuff on Saturday.
    Kim, I must go look for that Rob Wolf luncheon. didn't see that! Probably full now. :(
    Would love to meet up between sessions and bbq! We leave Sunday fairly early.
    Where is everyone staying?

    SUPER EXCITED!!

    Looking at the seminar schedule I wonder when I'll find time for the expo center. I literally plan on rushing from one seminar to the next....gotta get the value out of the ticket in less than the three days ;) . Guess I'll have to do expo center early Saturday morning. We should plan some sort of meet up Sat after the seminars (or at least plan a way for me to find you guys who will probably already be met up). I know there's an awards thing between the seminars and the BBQ dinner...I voted but wasn't necessarily planning on attending that. I know exactly where the dinner is from the convention center as I rode by it on the bike share bike and then went back there to eat. Still hoping I can get a ticket, but that's looking doubtful. Maybe we could all watch the bats together (which is too cool) before dinner. The multi use path that runs around town/ladybird lake is great for walking or biking. Bat bridge is along it, very close to convention center.

    The Robb/Dr Parsley lunch sold out very fast. I'm guessing the email was only sent to those who had bought a full ticket.

    I'm staying in a downtown hotel close to the convention center. While I realize this is a group board, it is somewhat public and not sure the wisdom in too many details about where you're staying. I have told Carol actual details.

    So Dan and I will be getting in Thursday, If any one needs a meetup at the Airport let me know. So Planning on seeing Robb Wolf and Mark Sisson a couple times, Kiefer and some others talk on Carbs, plus doing the Fit Test. Dan is planning on attending some of the cooking venues. Pretty Flexible. Dan has to travel North from Savannah Monday so we will be heading out on Sun Morn. Anyone want to hook up for an Exercise Session Fri, Sat or Sun Morning Early?

    OK, who for sure will be at the exhibit hall on Friday? I'm just taking it one day at a time. :smiley: We can also plan to meetup near the exhibit hall for breakfast and coordinate then. Though lets keep it within walking distance because I'm sure parking will be tight and I don't plan to give up my spot until I'm done for the day.

    Carol, I haven't gotten any exhibit passes as yet ... so if you're able to get me a day pass I'd love one. We'll definitely meetup on Saturday!

    John, the earliest I would be arriving at the Austin airport would be in the early afternoon on Thursday (4/23). That's assuming I'm lucky to catch a direct flight from SFO, or make my connection in Houston if I can't catch the direct. (I'm flying standby) If I get stuck in Houston guess I'll be spending the night on Carol's couch!

    I may have found a BBQ ticket. I know Carol and Caroline are doing that. Any one else?

    Hurray! Can't wait to hang out with you guys at the barbecue!

    Arturo: I sent this to you in an email: I sure hope you don't get stuck in Houston, we are not even in our home right now. we've moved into my mom's guestroom while they tile our bedroom floors. If you find a $30 air B&B room and need a ride over and back to airport, just let me know. I'll pick you up at midnight if you need it.
    I'm working on your expo ticket too! It might be a day or two because they are very backed up with email requests right now.

    Thanks Carol, but given your circumstances it makes sense for me to just keep trying no matter the time of day ... eventually I'll make it :)

    If anybody wants to exchange cell phone numbers ... just send me a PM to aceronjr at gmail dot com.

    Btw, looks like the earliest I'll be arriving at the Austin airport on Thursday will be 3:08pm CT.

    I will send you my cell phone number Arturo. Today is Wednesday, and my life is going to be so darn crazy until we start driving toSan Antonio on Friday after work. I can't wait to spend some time with Caroline.. It's always just 20 minutes hair 30 minutes there or a 4 mi walk to Starbucks if we're lucky. It will be very healthy to spend some quality time with my girlfriend and focus on our health for the weekend.

    We are both very excited to meet all of you guys!

    We are going to be hanging around the expo most of the day Saturday. We have a 10 o'clock primal play with Darryll Edwards and the barbecue Saturday night. I know we're going to want to go get ready for the barbecue after the conference sessions… So I don't know if that's a great time to try to meet up.

    What are y'all's plans for breakfast on Sunday? We need to head back to Houston around 10 AM. What about y'all?

    My flight is early on Sunday - 8am, so will be heading to airport by 6:30am. Now that I'll see you at the BBQ Carol, you can go get gussied up after the EXpo (I'll be changing too, as I'll have workout clothes on for the Jen Sinkler session).

    I'm available for anything all of Fri-Sun. I have to be at the airport no later than 5am on Monday. Guess I'll be meeting up with team Hammer on Friday. Unfortunately doesn't look like Jef Fry is going to make it this time. Will have to make other plans for Saf while you all are at the BBQ. Same for Sunday as you all will be gone by then.
