A couple suggestions to set up a visit to Austin. If you find this info useful pass it on to other friends - always love to have new visitors come to Austin.
Posting (first post at least a week ahead of time)
-- post to p411
-- post to eccie Austin Welcome Wagon (...first visit to Austin, like to introduce myself, love to make some new friends with several photos)
-- post to eccie Provider Ads and Weekend Lineup
-- Best donation ranges in Austin seem to be 250-300/hr
Pick a place to host
