I am planning a long overdue trip out there anyway, and that time period happens to work well for me.  Did not know Netroots Nation was happening at the same time, but sounds like another good reason (besides the migas at Julio's, the frozen margaritas at Trudy's, and salsa dancing at Oasis above Lake Travis, of course.)

Having said that, Albuquerque retains a mystical hold on me from a day and a night I spent there on a road-trip in college, and I have always wanted to visit the High Church of Complexitology in Santa Fe.

But Austin would be a near sure thing for me; Albuquerque would be harder to swing.

Besides Wife of Bath, are there any other EuroTribbers living in central Texas?

Truth unfolds in time through a communal process.
