Before you ask, yes it is the bar that the Bachelor guy owns with his twin brother. No, I've never met him. No, he won't be there. Yes, his twin brother will. Or will you be able to tell?

It will be a showcase of Austin emerging technology companies, so come on by for demos, free food and drinks, and a great time. I hope to see you there!
