Are you cool? Then plan to visit Austin this November.
I’ve long talked about holding a domainer dinner in Austin. As I talked to others in the industry about it one common request kept coming up: hold it in conjunction with a University of Texas football game.
So that’s what we’re doing November 12-13. Details are tentative, but plan on a dinner Friday, November 12 followed by a night out on Sixth Street. The game on November 13 is against conference rival Oklahoma State and should be a great game. Game time isn’t set yet, and we might have to go on our own to the game because it’s hard to get a block of tickets. But the details on the game will take shape soon.
If you’re thinking about coming and aren’t from around these parts, the most important thing you need to do now is reserve a hotel room. Rooms sell out far in advance for home football games, which are attended by 100,000 people.
Here are some suggestions:
Downtown (football stadium is just north of downtown)
InterContinental Stephen F. Austin $324
Omni Hotel (downtown location) $319
Doubletree – $299
Hilton Austin – $284
Residence Inn by Marriott – $249
Courtyard Marriott – $239
Hampton Inn – $229
Radisson Town Lake – $216
Four Seasons – sold out
The Driskill – sold out
Close to Downtown (just South of Lady Bird Lake, walkable or short cab ride)
Hyatt Regency – $269
Embassy Suites – $239 (Offers suites for multiple people)
Homestead Studio Suites – $89 (for those on a budget)
Hotel San Jose – sold out
p.s. typical high temperature in Austin in November is around 70 degrees.
