David Castello is Psychic
David Castello saved me a lot of embarrassment this weekend.
Earlier this year at TRAFFIC in Vancouver I asked David Castello which of two dates I ought to hold a domain name event in Austin: September 24-25 in conjunction with the Texas v. UCLA football game or November 12-13 with the Texas v. Oklahoma State football game.
David stated “Don’t do it in September. It will still be too hot.”
He was right, and he influenced me to host the event in November. What David didn’t tell me, since he knew it would be too painful, is that I shouldn’t hold it in September since Texas was going to get embarrassed by UCLA on its home turf.
I’m thankful I took David’s advice. It was hot in Austin today and Texas got spanked. And although I’m still in pain following Texas looked horrible today, there’s a silver lining: tickets to the game vs. Oklahoma State will end up being a lot less expensive if Texas keeps playing like this.
Be sure to mark your calendars for November 12-13 here in Austin. We’re going to have a great time Friday evening and then we’ll have some sort of event around the football game on November 13. Be sure to reserve a hotel room now; you can always cancel it later.
And thanks, David. I appreciate the tip.
