I would google "LG optimus V 3g issue" before going with the phone and know that VM has terrible, terrible customer service. It took me over 3hrs total to call and cancel my phone plan when I got the phone and discovered the 3G didn't work.

<t>10 people (including myself) showed up for the meetup. The thing that greatly amuses me: our bill was $18.00. I have never looked at a bill for a large group of people and sighed with relief before. <br/> Thanks everyone for coming out! I will be harassing you via email very soon ^__^<br/> <br/> ...

There should be at least 5 of us I have long black hair with straight across bangs. I think I'll put a little "ERE" index card on the table when I get there. See you guys soon!

<t>Okay...Austin Java sounds good. <br/> Whole Foods roof sounds awesome and I think we should do that if we have a second meeting.<br/> Austin Java<br/> <br/> 1608 Barton Springs Road, Austin, TX 78704<br/> <br/> October 2nd @ 5pm.<br/> I'll send out a message to everyone that said they may come to...

2014 is my goal.

Awesome progress! Also, you have 83 months saved on the 83rd post in your journal! Completely irrelevant, but it's my favorite number, so I felt inclined to comment.

I would love to live in a tiny house community when I retire. Maybe we should merge the idea with ERE city?

Jacob speaks the truth. Before I read his e-book, I saved 10% (as most personal finance blogs suggest). After I read it...80%!

I buy e-books from bloggers fairly regularly. I've read your blog before and I think I'd pay $3-5 for your first e-book. Any more than that and my tightwad tendencies would likely kick in.

@rachels I'm new to Austin and haven't made it to Zilker yet. Can you describe where we would meet that would be easy to find?
Thanks!

I'm a single lady. I live in Austin, TX, but I'm not sure where I'll live when I'm retired.

<r>Is anyone up for meeting at a park (preferably one accessible by bus)? As I mentioned before, Flipnotics has signs that say "no lingering" and they have not responded to my inquiry. Also, it might make sense to meet somewhere where people won't be pressured to spend money.<br/> Suggestions? <E>:)...

I moved to Austin to get away from "consumerist and high-tax" bay area!
Welcome

<t>I'm glad so many people are planning to attend. I spelled the location wrong above - it's "Flipnotics".<br/> I stopped by there earlier this week and noticed they have signs that say "absolutely no lingering or loitering" so I sent them an email to make sure it was okay to have a meetup there. St...

Awesome! I hope your others can make it. I'm going to say Fliptonics deck on Sunday October 2nd at 5pm.
Here's the address: 1601 Barton Springs Rd.

Austin, TX 78704

Flipnotics deck sounds good.

It sounds like Sunday October 2nd in the evening is the consensus right now.

<r>Hi everyone! I recently discovered that there are several other Texans here and I'm hoping we can coordinate a meetup. I'm in South Austin, so here are my suggestions:<br/> <URL url="http://www.yelp.com/biz/summermoon-coffee-bar-austin">http://www.yelp.com/biz/summermoon-coffee-bar-austin</URL><b...

I'm in Austin too! I'm going to start a meetup post, so Texans please check in there
