Rockin' dude. Let's show Gary a good time when he's here. I'm thinking, some east side mexican food?

You are making it happen! Keep up the good work. A startup district is something Austin needs.

Thanks for sharing! Cool stuff. Good to see those guys really engaging w/ the a large audience. As always, a big fan of what you guys are doing with Startup District. Wonder if Austin can find its own niche - i mean not web ver.sion - you know?

People are highlighting semantic as something to watch out for in the near future (albeit that has been the discussion for years) BUT -what if semantic/AI etc becomes Austin's startup of choice?

Heading to see gary on Tuesday? Also, sad - i would have loved to ask a question! too bad i was driving to BFE when i saw the tweet.

Little more content in the post would be nice, but I like that you are posting some vid. The Austin response was pretty lame, but honest at the same time. Maybe you can show them around a little when they come back:P
