There's only so much one can see of Texas between Austin's airport and convention center, but there's a great not-so-secret-to-Austinites barbecque pit about 30 minutes outside of the city, deep in the hill country. It's a great way to see the countryside if you're from out of town. And if you're feeling like I do -- tired of loud parties and crowds -- it's also the perfect opportunity to kick back.
Cost: If you want the all-you-can-eat family-style option (which we recommend), just bring $20. You can also order from the menu. Cash only. The Salt Lick is BYOB, so we may stop by a beer or liquor store on the way.
Getting there: The Salt Lick has directions posted on their website. We'll also provide rides to people without vehicles.
Time: Not too long after all panels are finished for the day (6pm). I need to hear back from at least a few people that are going before I can really commit to going myself, anyway.
Sorry for the repost. Wiki pages apparently don't allow comments, and I think they're necessary for this.

Please RSVP if you'd like to go so I can justify the trip.
Inclement weather
It's far too wet out in Driftwood to enjoy an outdoor evening, so I'll have to cancel tonight's BBQ plans.
There is an in-door salt lick
There is another salt lick in davenport that is mostly indoor seating only. Its a little more dressy than the one out in the middle of nowherez ville, but very good food, its also not -all you can eat-.
