Any user’s group in Austin TX that meets?

After recently discovering this language, I rushed to “Ruby’s” on the  
drag  
to find out more, but the Rubyists there were bewildered with my  
questions  
(though they _were_ able to provide excellent barbecue).

Yes, there are a herd of Texas Rubyists in Austin.  
You can join arctan on yahoogroups or visit [AustinOnRails.com](http://AustinOnRails.com).

The Ruby group gets together for lunch every Thursday and  
is starting to meet once a month in the evening. The Rails group  
meets monthly and usually has several speakers.

I get “internal server error” on just about any link I hit for  
[austinonrails.org](http://austinonrails.org) (via google searches).

I did find this working page:  
[http://austinonrails.org/xml/rss20/comments/feed.xml](http://austinonrails.org/xml/rss20/comments/feed.xml)

Kind of an obscure, secretive group I guess. 😉

Well, they do tend to lean more towards artistic than technical…
