Big thanks to Virtopia and Lathazia!

I feel lucky to be part of a great group.

My wife and I had plans to visit Austin to prepare for a move later in the year. Money is tight, flights are expensive, but FA kindness was in full effect.

Virtopia was kind enough to offer his place to stay, even while he was out of town. To make that offer to an essential stranger and ask nothing in return, was amazingly generous. Thanks man...

I was able to get together with Lathazia while here as well. He lured me to his home with the offer of a free steak dinner and desserts. His family is delightful, and his neighbors are very cool as well, even when learning we had only met an hour or so before they showed up. (Of course the whole "how do we know you're not an ax murderer?" jokes we're throw about) Thanks for the grub and good times. If I ever stab anyone, I'll call you.

Austin is a nice place. As I have mentioned repeatedly this last week, the people are amazing. Even downtown, the people seem to be much more grounded than what I'm use to in Chicago; it's not nearly as pretentious. I love being able to have a beer and shoot the shit with anyone here. Weather was amazing. I'm about to get on a plane back to 30 degrees and snow. Damn. Unfortunately I wasn't here for the summit - but BW will certainly have my resume soon.

Back to cleaning up the apartment and packing - it'll be good to get back in game.

Right on, guys!
Give generously and expect nothing in return; that's the way to go.

This is also why FA is the greatest faction around.  What other group would do this?
