I've got a dirty secret. I'm a Texan.
I was born in Bryan, grew up in Dallas, and went to Rice University in Houston. Since then I've bounced back and forth between Texas and California, but whenever I can I try to make it back to Austin.
Over the next three weeks I'll be updating the OP blog daily with some of my favorite things to see, do, and eat while you're in Austin for the World Championships.
It's your turn!
As we head into the home stretch, I want to mix things up a bit. So here's the deal - write up a couple paragraphs about your favorite things to see and do in Austin and email them to me at ben_drago@upperdeck.com. I'll pick out my favorites on Sunday and post them here next week. Selected articles will win some cool prizes delivered personally by myself at the World Champs. Or by your USPS guy, if you can't make it to the tournament.
We'll be discussing these posts and other things to do in Austin in this thread. The local players have put together an awesome PDF of Austin info as well, so be sure to check that out.
See y'all tomorrow!
Ben
