The co-host for this month’s event is Refresh Austin. I credit the folks at Refresh Austin with helping me make the change to, and learn how to take advantage of, WordPress.Whether you are considering making the move to WordPress, want to meet some local WordPress gurus, or just want to toss back a few drinks with the Refresh and GeekAustin folks at Union Park, you're invited.
A note about the venue: There is plenty of room at Union Park. You won't be standing in line to get in. The drinks at Union Park are generous and reasonably priced. I hope you can make it.

Life's good when you know when the social calendar starts to fill in three months out!

Sweet, even better - it's a release part!
riddle
Never been to Union Park but from the website it looks great. Yeah, parking is a bear, but that's the price of having a lively downtown.
Family obligations have kept me from making it to any GeekAustin events to date. I'm tempted to try to come to this one because of the topic. But how much tech talk actually happens at these events? I fear that at a happy hour the only way I could get my WP questions answered would be to pin an expert in a corner and refuse to let him or her out.
I don't know whether you've ever tried this (for all I know it may be part of your routine) but I could imagine an event with a BarCamp-esque aspect: reserve a side room for impromptu presentations and semi-organized discussions.
Just a thought.
ingenuity
I suggest you have these meetings in locations (e.g. bars or coffee houses) where it is easier to park without paying for a parking lot. It's very difficult to partk downtown.
