Don’t forget the pizza.
To everybody attending the Austin Books pre-party: [b:86ee74391e]Have your ID on hand![/b:86ee74391e] Anyone can attend, but to partake of the malted beverages you have to be of age. There’ll also be a limit on the number of free drinks for the sake of health, safety, and the good names of STAPLE! and Austin Books.

If you’re coming into Austin from out of town to attend STAPLE! 2006 on Saturday 4 March, then try to make it by Friday if you can. Here’s a quick look at activities for the show:

holey crap did I just read "free beer"? on the Austin Book Website?

Y’all probably don’t need the reminder, BUT . . .
<b>The Austin Books party is tonight (Friday) from 8 p.m. – 11 p.m.</b>
Austin Books is located at 5002 North Lamar a stone wall’s thickness south of 51st. There’s extra parking around back and on a side street.
I understand from Brad that Tony Millionaire will be in town in time to make it to the party, and you can expect to meet most other special guests and exhibitors as well.
If you have any questions about the show, need maps, etc., come find me. I’ll be wearing either a red MissMonster.com T-shirt or this year’s STAPLE! T-shirt.
