I mentioned this meet to Joanne, and the idea of Austin appealed to her, as we haven't been there. Can any locals or others come with ideas / suggestions that make it worth going, for say, a week? Looks like JetBlue does SFO->AUS direct for reasonable $$$. Thanksgiving would likely make it the week prior to avoid the crowds. Thoughts?
Pics that illustrate the point quite nicely (can't embed)

Chancellor Angela Merkel arrives at passport control in Poland:
"Nationality?" asks the immigration officer.
"German" she replied.
"Occupation?"
...."No, just here for a few days"...
Ric, do you need an off site backup?
EDIT: and why there are some similarities ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFO_(TV_series)#Second_series_and_Space:_1999
there are silhouettes of a woman, a man, and two children along a burnt side of the house

Funky Theme Tune! (from when 1980 was in the future!)
Don't forget that the app allows you to use the USB port on your touch (possibly with the aid of a powered USB hub) to drive your über-trendy USB DAC, instead of you plain old traditional s/pdif / toslink based one.
The app should add support of the following to your Squeezebox Touch:
- External USB dacs using either USB audio class 1 or 2 protocols [uSB 1 dacs normally state they support up to 96k sample rates, USB 2 dacs normally state up to 192k]
- Support of 176 and 192k playback via the standard digital output
Had a care free day off with Joanne that included Pesto & Artichoke bread, and hot cross buns in Half Moon Bay, Manhattan Clam Chowder with Bacon in Santa Cruz, Marianne's ice cream on the beach, as the sun set in Capitola, and rounded off with a visit to Fry's on the way back. Not a bad day all in all
