Geeks With Guns II: Electric Boogaloo

Friday March 9, 2007 at 7:00pm

Red's Indoor Range

6200 Highway 290 West
Austin, Texas 78660 Get Directions

For the nerds at SxSWi: After registration and the first panels, but before going out in the evening, why not relieve some stress 9mm at a time? Red's has 40 rental guns. $8 rents you a gun, $13 gets you an hour on the range, and with ammunition you're in and out for $30.

For obvious reasons, this is a sober event!

Thanks to Meri Williams for hosting the last one. If anyone was at last year's geeks with guns, please get in touch -- jacksonwest at gmail

Update: Looks like there's lots of interest. I have closed the official guest list at 16. The earlier you show up, the more likely you'll get a chance to shoot. I plan to arrive well ahead of seven. Don't even bother showing up after eight unless you just want to say hello.

Every time I turn around, Jackson resembles Hunter S. Thompson more strongly.

This sounds wrong and probably need to make sure I'm there.

I'm like the Nerf version of HST -- fun, but with less eye-poking or lamp-breaking potential.

as both a gun and sxsw virgin, i'm intrigued and may just have to pop along. what about transport?

There's bus transport, or you can rent a bike. Cast your wings upon the free market, is the Texas answer.

Everyone, be warned that you'll need to show up -no later than seven- if you want to shoot. I just talked to the dude at the range, and he said the earlier the better. I'll try to get there around six.
