The Feb 26-28 LSLA conference in Austin was a great success. A fun time was had by all.
On Friday evening visitors had an opportunity to experience the Austin nightlife. Thanks to the Ladies of Liberty Alliance for help with the planning of these activities.
Saturday was filled with helpful training sessions for leaders and candidates. I kicked off the evening festivities (at podium) as Dallas County chair Paul Peterson (right) and LP Executive Director Wes Benedict (center) dig into their BBQ:

As we pulled into the Longhorn Cafe, I was reminded of the old sci-fi classic "Dr. Who". The restaurant looked incredibly small on the outside, but expanded greatly once you entered.
We had a sizeable crowd of 30 to 35 Libertarians. A number of them quickly signed up to be candidates. We had two guest appearances by Congressional Candidate Jim Strohm and Gubernatorial candidate Jeff Daiell.
