This is the first year I've come up the night before, but we've had predominantly blue skies for every other Austin event. This one did have pretty gloomy weather on Saturday but Friday was beautiful, and I didn't encounter precipitation until I was headed home Saturday afternoon. It was pretty chilly Friday night and Saturday morning, but if you push it too far off you're going to start encountering the opposite problem...
BTW, Blake's crawfish boil was a blast last year. He really went all-out with a huge amount of food, a live band, and lots of drinks. I think we had seven or eight Cobras and one GT40...it sure would be nice to have, you know, ten times that many...right, Blake?
