I know it's late notice but... keep an eye out for parking!
This year, the festival will be held on the south side of Zilker (across from the botanical gardens) rather than the usual soccer fields (under renovation). Parking will be very limited. Shuttle buses will be running south from Burger Center or central from 16th @ Colorado.
Weather forecast is chilly morning warming to mid 60s and lighter wind than today (thank goodness)

Ends up, I will not make it.. Short notice trip to DFW for me.
