Welcome to the discussion thread for the 2014 Austin Mega Do.
As always, the website (
http://www.ausmegado.com) will have the latest and greatest information in the not unlikely event that I forget to update this post.
We announced the event dates last week (February 20-23, 2014) and today we've released the
Event Schedule. Please note that the events that have a capacity control on them show 0 spots available; this does not mean that the events are already sold out. Those numbers will be updated to reflect actual capacity as we get closer to registration.
First and foremost, we will be returning to Franklin Barbecue for a private dinner event. This event is happening thanks to continued gracious sponsorship by Milepoint and Randy Petersen. We're also doing an event at the Alamo Drafthouse featuring HeckleVision (you text your one-liners and jokes and they appear on the screen with the movie) and we'll be visiting the offices of LIVESTRONG here in Austin for a live concert and charity auction. More details about all of those things are available on the events page at the website. Here's a brief rundown of what we have planned for 2014:
