I guess in Austin it may be ok round this time... perhaps a day or two in the 70's if you're lucky... or it could go the other way. We're about 4 hours drive West of Austin. I've heard there's bouldering at McKinney Falls... may want to check out erockonline.com for info. Never been there. There's lot of other places too I've heard... check out this guide. http://www.erockonline.com/pdf/TLBintroweb.pdf
4 hours eh? Yeah, I doubt I'll be bumping in to you at the grocery store.
Thanks for the link though, I'll give it a look and see what I can find. A lot will depend on the hours we work, I might end up just hitting a local gym.

Holy earthquakes in Chile Batman!! Where you headed anywhere near Concepcion on your trip? not really, though I was going to visit it at some point because it is a main city. I'm still planning on Santiago, but I have some research to do now to ensure that things are OK (i.e. - safe and / or I'm not walking into a shit storm where there's a lack of housing). I heard Chile has officially asked that "unnecessary travel" to the region (possibly the entire country) be discontinued for the time being. I doubt that will last for more than a few weeks but it's possible that a large portion of the country will be so wrapped up in the relief efforts that security and accommodations will be compromised for some time to come. Hopefully not but that was one hell of a quake. Yeah, we'll see. One of my contacts recently told me that Santiago was fine and that folks are pretty much heading to work on Monday. Intl flights started landing at that airport today. Gonna wait to hear back from a few other contacts, though. I have a few weeks anyway (stupid MA takes six weeks?!?! to get through a subsidized COBRA application. WTF?!? So, yeah, I got some time. it's nice though. My dad set up my grandfather's governor's desk (the grandfather who died while I was in Argentina in Nov) to write on. When I saw it set up I was astounded at how comfortable / inspiring it looked. I'm not one for contrived sentiment either. It just looked / felt right. Been productive today, so happy about that. Six weeks? Fuck that. Things sound promising on being able to go forward with the trip though. Which is good news. So, you mentioned something earlier about "the move". Are sticking around Mass. until you leave or are you headed back out west? I moved out of my apt yesterday and am now in Maine at my Dad's. Didn't know the earthquake had happened. Everyone who helped me move told me about it, but I thought they were joking around. We had the news on the TV and it never came on, so I really thought it was a joke. Then I heard it on the radio. Will be in Maine until COBRA is sorted out. Then I'll figure out what is going on in Chile (safe? practical? etc...). If I can go in a few weeks, then I'll go. if I can't, then I'll see what Jeremiah is up to in April. He is busy in March. In fact, he'll be in N Carolina in march for some climber training thingie. Good way to cut costs in the interim and you can still get plenty of work writing done. BTW, how does it feel to be unemployed? Pretty damn fine I bet. Oh and if you're still around when my brother and I come up for our spring Gunks trip, I'll hit you up. It's likely to be late April or sometime in May though, so you'll probably be gone by then. It's funny because I don't feel unemployed at all. I feel as if I'm a writer. I AM a writer, so I'm employed, just not making any cash at the moment.
Damn right. And in my experience, albeit in a completely different field, working on spec is by far the most rewarding.

We just discussed going to Austin soon, but I think it won't be until later in the week of the 15th... oh well.
You'd probably have more fun if you head down to the Green Belt with your harness and shoes and jump on someones rope. The gym in Austin is teh suck IMO!
