Hey guys-

Just a reminder that deadline for all Back To School articles is one week from today, Friday, August 17. If you can possibly turn things in sooner than that PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do so. That even goes for those of you working on the Guide To Sixth Street (And Beyond) article. If you want to turn your entries in one at a time, by all means do it. The more entries I get before the deadline, the less of my weekend I have to spend working on putting them all together, and the less complaining I have to hear from my fiancee that I work too much.

Here is one other important note on the Guide To Sixth Street article: Because of space limitations, we need to drastically reduce the word count. Please keep entries at around 50 words or less, not the 75-100 I originally gave you. Hopefully this won't be a problem. If you've already done yours and they're significantly longer than that, then what are you waiting for? Turn them in already and I'll trim them down myself!

Please also remember to include the address and phone number! I've provided them for you in the attached assignments list.

Speaking of assignments, there are still a handful of places that no one has claimed. Who wants to tackle the following? (Tolly and Jennifer, I've included you on this email to see if maybe you want to pitch in on covering these....My apologies for not including you in the initial round of emails.)

Habana Calle
Sushi Geisha
Custom Tattoo
Austin Tee Party
Golden Apple Tattoo
Aurelio's
Black Cat Tattoo
311 Club
Kenny Luna's
Soho Lounge
Spill
Logan's

Please check the attached assignments list for your initials and make sure everything is correct. Good luck and thanks for doing this and again, please get them to me ASAP--I don't care if it's one at a time!

Here are the other articles I'm expecting:

- Guide to WiFi in the city - Assigned to Adam Schragin - FINISHED. Thank you Adam!

- Austin restaurant "mainstays" - Assigned to Barrett Brown - FINISHED. Thank you Barrett!

Beyond The Mall shopping guide - Assigned to Darcie Duttweiler. Darcie, can you send me the final list of places you plan on covering?

 - Places to take your parents  - Assigned to Sarah Murray. Sarah, can you send me the final list of places you plan on covering?

That should be it. As always, let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Please try to stay in touch with me this next week and let me know how it's all coming together. If you know that you're not going to be able to meet next Friday's deadline, the sooner I know the better! 

Thanks for all your hard work!
sean.
