Put it in your Palm® and alert your next of kin. Following the astounding success of Evoltageddon 1 (evolticon, beervolt, whatever you want to call it - hey, I'm easy), plans have been made for yet another get-together of epic proportions.

TheDate: Saturday, March 10, 2001

TheTime: There will be folks there as early as 5pm

TheCity: Austin, TX, US of A

ThePlace: The Ginger Man

The details: The Ginger Man is located at 304 West Fourth Street in Austin, TX. If you need to call for directions or anything, their number is 512-473-8801. More information about the Ginger Man can be found on their web site.

It's a social gathering, and all are invited. Come meet some of the evolt.org administrators and ply them with alcohol to get the inside scoop on what we've got planned for evolt.org. Find out what the modern, well-dressed web god(des) is wearing on his/her back (or skin...). Hang out, tell stories, attach faces to names, and make new friends.

If you have any questions or comments, there's some healthy discussion on TheChat about what we're up to.

If you're going to be coming, drop a line in the comment section below so we have a rough idea of how many and who to expect. How will you recognize the evolt crew? Good question! We'll be the ones with the distinct dark t-shirts that only a web developer could love. Hope to see you there!

Bob's just this guy who lives in San Antonio, TX and works as the web guy at a hotel and freelances. He writes, codes, plans, manages, cooks, learns, reads, and sometimes drives too fast.

I'll be there

Submitted by sgd on February 28, 2001 - 17:27.

You wanna yell at me? Tell me I'm a secret MS-employed robot planted as a spy in the open-source-Linux-CF-infested-goodness called Evolt?
I'll be there, drinking some Young's Double Chocolate Stout, trying to not talk about web stuff at all, and losing the battle the whole night....

As will I

Submitted by marlene on February 28, 2001 - 17:32.

Knowing many of the people who are going to be there, I can confidently say it's going to be a blast. I'll be one of the few drinking wine, probably red.

Me three!

Submitted by djc on February 28, 2001 - 17:34.

I'll be there myself as well. For all those people that have ever said "Thanks for all your hard work dan, I owe you one!" - well guess, what? Here's a good chance to pay me back with mass quanities of beer :)

We're going to be having a big suprise and unveiling of evolt's latest 'big thing' while we're there too. And its not just for evolt folk. If you find yourself in Austin a day early for SXSW, stop and by, make a friend, and relax with people of similar interest.. We don't bite.. hard.. ;)

All good...

Submitted by bobdavis on February 28, 2001 - 17:45.

There are goign to be a lot of people there who you may have seen on the list and want to meet in person - some of our brightest personalities will be there getting even more "personable". I f you can make it, please do - and bring your friends.

I'll be there

Submitted by aardvark on February 28, 2001 - 17:53.

So when you say, "Oh god, it's that jerk," you'll have no one to blame but yourself.

If you can name all the clients listed on my personal site, and my favorite Pokémon, I might even buy you a beer.

Count me in...

Submitted by Jeff Howden on February 28, 2001 - 19:56.

Yup, that's right. By popular demand (and cause my finances will allow it this time), I'll be attending this get-together. If you wanna know about the database architecture, the coldfusion architecture for thesite, or any other secrets you think are buried within too bad cause i'm not going to talking web stuff at all. J/K. If I'm comatose I'll probably be blabbering my head off about whatever any one of you wants to know. Catch me while i'm feeling the effects of liquid courageTM.

I'd love to see you all there -- especially those of you who owe me drinks (you know who you are).

Me, uh... six?

Submitted by artlung on March 1, 2001 - 01:35.

I have nothing witty to say. But I will be there. - Joe

Invisible Admin

Submitted by damclean on March 1, 2001 - 01:37.

As the official invisible admin, I too will be in attendance. I will be there to assist in uping the Canadian content at evoltcon 2.0, as per CRTC regulations. I will also be there in support of any other members of Commonwealth nations. Look for my ramblings on thechat list. I owe nothing. I am owed nothing.

invisible what ...

Submitted by elfur on March 1, 2001 - 05:41.

if anyone is invisible to thelist ('specially as an admin) I would be at the top of the ten :) I'm the one representing the NORTHERN hemisphere, almost arctic.
me be there, defrosting.

also

Submitted by matt@imagerealm.com on March 1, 2001 - 14:15.

I plan to be there even though I can only rarely answer the questions on the list. I usually answer my own though (off-list), and that's _something_. Maybe in person I can continue the debates in which i never type fast enoght to keep up with aardvark.

Pics and European representation

Submitted by MartinB on March 1, 2001 - 15:31.

I'll be there, representing Scotland, Europe and the UK (in that order). Oh, I took some pics at last year's do, and so did Marlene.

wooo hooo

Submitted by Emily on March 1, 2001 - 20:55.

I'll be there, too.

Joe! I'm so glad you're coming.

Matt, darling, I barely have time to read thelist, much less add anything useful. So you'll be in good company. :)

me type fast?

Submitted by aardvark on March 1, 2001 - 22:10.

matt, i don't type that fast... i actually talk a lot faster... anyway, yeah, anyone who wants to come and shoot the poo about things like the evolt.org redesign, my take on standards, or how my social life has suffered since i started archiving browsers, i'll be there.... i'm looking forward to attaching faces to names...

There - in spirit :(

Submitted by themadman on March 2, 2001 - 06:03.

The ocean is too vast for me to cover at this point, and my wallet is practically empty, but I'll be there in spirit to represent India. Have a good time, fellows. I don't drink, so I'd probably just be a pain in the @$$ anyway. For those looking to match a face with a name, you can see this nutty picture on my web site.

Re: invisible what ...

Submitted by wolf on March 6, 2001 - 13:28.

Elfur, David, I am the most invisble one. I am invisble on all lists and will not be able to make it there, so that is even one more point on the invisible scale.

Pity I am out of the party...

Submitted by volkow on March 7, 2001 - 09:37.

... just because I am too far to get to Austin without selling my last pair of jeans. Ya know, guys, it's a long way from here (Moscow, RU) to where you're goin' to meet... :)

Helloooo from Austin

Submitted by Emily on March 11, 2001 - 16:02.

Checking in from the SXSW Interactive tradeshow. Actually, we are supposed to be evaluating sites for some kind of contest, but we decided we like evolt.org the best. We're taking lots of pictures. Peace.

SXSW schwag...

Submitted by damclean on March 11, 2001 - 16:21.

Just checking from next to Em. These new apple keyboards are very nice. The best way to get the good schwag is to talk to the people standing at the booths. They are bored out of their friggin' minds.

Rudy, Scott... sorry I didn't ride back to Dallas with you, the schwag was calling... yehaw! Texas rocks.

Funny, Jeff Veen was bigger than I thought and Jeff Zeldman was smaller. Not a bad thing, just something I noticed.

SXSW and uninteresting web sites

Submitted by marlene on March 11, 2001 - 16:25.

I decided to vote for the best site "web awards" so I sat down here to review the contestants. What a sad sight. Only one really had both interesting content and design. My vote? San Francisco Symphony-American Mavericks Festival. Even though it requires Flash, no less... Having a great time otherwise!

I got your Mojo right here

Submitted by aardvark on March 12, 2001 - 18:57.

Sitting in Mojo's, surfing on a stranger's computer. So far so good, some good panels, some abysmal ones, but for those evolt.org members I got to meet here, it was great to attach a face to a name (and a voice to the text). And I'm glad I cleared up any gender misconceptions as well (I'm a guy). Thanks all for coming, and please let us know if you wanna see pics (like me in my 80s DJ get-up).

Thanks to all!

Submitted by damclean on March 13, 2001 - 01:10.

Thanks to all the listees that came out on Saturday night.

It was great to see those who could make it, come out. And even more fun to stamp our logo on those who weren't even connected to us at all.

Hopefully we'll see more of y'all next time.
