Screenwriting : Austin Film Festival - Any 32'ers Attending? by Richard "RB" Botto

Looking forward to shmoozing over some serious BBQ!

Can't wait -- this year feels even more exciting already.

I am going too. Got my Second Rounder Iteneary today. Looks like a lot of great panels this year.

ETA 24-27 Oct. Can't wait! (AFF veteran. New to 32 :)

Fantastic...Looking forward to meeting you all. Irina, I'm also a second rounder, so I'm sure we'll be running into each other quite often...As we draw closer, maybe we can set up a time for all of us to have a Stage 32 Meetup at the Driskill Bar... Anyone else attending?

Since I'm in Austin - YES! Great times!

Hey Jeanne! Add a headshot when you have a moment so we can put a face to the name! And so we can find you down there!

I was tempted to, but I didn't hear about the volunteer opportunities in time, and couldn't really afford a badge on short notice (I also have some things going on, the end of the month is the busiest part for me usually). Still, if there is a meetup in Austin at a location that non-attendees can get into as well, I would enjoy meeting some fellow stage 32'ers. Keep us posted, sounds like a good idea.

Looking forward to meeting you too Richard. Driskill bar sounds like a good place as long as it's not too crowded there. What time of the day are you thinking?

I'm attending and would like to meet up. The Driskill sounds good.

First time at Austin this year,pleased to have my Sitcom Pilot chosen as a Second Rounder.Love to meet up, @seandelville on twitter

Let's all put our twitter @ here -- good idea, Sean. @laurieashbourne

Cool, sounds like a good idea: @GenuineBenjamin

Iike it tol @TWEmbry

@RB of course you're a Second Rounder! If y'all arrange a Stage 32 meet up... I would like to attend. Oh and in case you need my twitter @LadyLauraWrites

Look forward to seeing you at the seminars - Friday & Saturday. I reserved a suite @ the Intercontinental. Great for a "Stage-32" mixer. BYOB.

Hello all. Seems as if everyone is getting in at different times. Those getting in tomorrow, let's see if we can find each other during the Opening Reception at the Rattle Inn. If that doesn't work, perhaps the bar at the Driskill before the WGA party. I'll be checking this space and posting on our @stage32online Twitter account as well. See you all soon.

location??

I have an evening class tonight 7-10 pm, but if you'd like to meet up Friday sometime that would probably work, provided it isn't a restricted location or something. Saturday during the day is fine as well, I have a music gig in the evening though.

Driskill bar is great...but crowded. I'll have the suite Friday & Saturday. InterContinental @ 701 Congress Ave. Standby for details...

RB, Y'all are welcome to come up to #1611. Yellow Suite, Top floor. Intercontinental. Beverages ready! Today & Saturday. Text me @ 214-850-7777

Very generous of you Brus. That sounds pretty cool to me.

You bet! Come on up. OK to pass the word. If anyone has a HDMI cable...can play DVD movies. FYI: My boy (11) is present. So kids are welcome.

Where are my Driscoll partners in sublime?

Hi Laurie....were across the street. Top floor. Intercontinental. Suite #1611. Come on over!

5 guys here now!

Wish I was there Laurie. Unfortunately I won't be arriving until Saturday. Hopefully, some of y'all will be able to hang out at the Driskill tomorrow night... just sayin' :)

If any of you know of anyone who would appreciate a Lone Star Badge, I have an "extra" one at no cost (I'm still attending). It has NOT been registered with a name... yet. @ Benjamin Alany, if you change your mind... it's yours. All I have to do is email AFF registration a name and you can upload your photo.

Hang on....let me ask Benjamin & Laurie

Anyone need a Badge? :) Also don't forget Pitch Party @ 8-10PM (412 Congress) Good luck to Mike, Andrew, Luewayne & everyone that pitched!!!

"Stage32" Mixer Today! Last One. 5-11PM! Intercontinental suite. Top floor. RM #1611. @Brus1 -or- Text 214-850-7777

Hey Brus! Thanks for the offer, my friend. I'll do my best to get by there later today. Been wall to wall with meetings and such. Appreciate the hospitality!

Yes sir. You bet, RB. Good seeing ya @ ScreenWorld.

Hey any of y'all going to the Pitch Finale Party?

Hmmm... actually not sure I want to go to that now.

I'm going in

In line for pitch party

Haha, Hot & Crowded! ...Pay up Botto! Final Pitch Party really needs to be in a nearby auditorium. State Theater or Alamo Draft House on 6th Street! Yes?

Well, that was one hell of a weekend. Great seeing so many of you. And to those I didn't get to see, I apologize. It was a jammed packed, wall to wall, few days.

Yes, it was one hell of a weekend indeed. Really enjoyed it. It was great meeting you RB!

infinite laughs, lines and liquid love... all in all a win, but if you find my liver let me know.

Great to see/meet so many of you down in Austin. Tremendous time. So many laughs (and drinks) I'm sorry I missed many of you. It was a pakced weekend and I had to cut out a day early for biz. Brus, thanks for hosting so many 32'ers.

It's that time again - going this year?

I may pop in for a day -- being on Halloween messes things up a lot. I know the fine folks at Stage 32 will be doing something there. So stay tuned!

Great - I'll be there just Thursday and Friday night myself (doing a 10:45 am panel on Friday, and Saturday morning roundtable). Hope to see some of you there!
