Friends,

We are stoked to have a new home for Tuesday nights at Mean Eyed Cat Bar (1621 W 5th St, Austin, TX 78703 /

https://themeaneyedcat.com/

) effective immediately!

Nothings changing, besides where we meet up every week on Tuesday nights for our #HAF workouts. Cohl will still get there at 6.45, we'll still gather at the front at 7.00p, and the warm up still starts at exactly 7.05p.

Some notes about our new home:

• Mean Eyed Cat will have reserved space for us on the entire left side of the bar. Paras is hereby reserving one seat at the bar weekly and no one will ever sit in it. The rest of the area is fair game.

• DoRiteBBQ will be open until 9.00p every week. After 9.00p, you can bring in outside food - but until then, either order from DoRite and get that mac and cheese OR hold tight and go grab some food from a nearby spot and bring it back to hang out.

• You can park in the garage and there is a row of parking behind the garage as well. But the parking garage should be your first go to. The garage is located directly behind the bar. Do not drive drunk home. If you need to leave your car there, you can and they won't tow - just try and get it as early as possible the following day.

• Follow MEC on Instagram and tag them when we're at the bar (https://www.instagram.com/meaneyedcatbar/)

• Like MEC on FB (https://www.facebook.com/meaneyedcataustin/)

• Our workout options actually got a lot more plentiful. Eric Hersh spent his weekend putting together a list of workouts for us!

• Tip your bartenders well! MEC is giving us awesome drink specials and this will be our home for a long, long time - so make some friends with our friends behind the bar, take care of them, etc. and when you're at MEC on a Thurs/Fri/Sat with a hot date they'll take care of you.

• Drink specials are $2 tall boys, $5 lunchboxes (A beer + a shot), and ask your bartenders weekly if there's anything else going on. MEC is doing a lot for us and we are very thankful for our new home!

• You can bring your dogs and they can hang out on the patio. We'll keep dogs away from the inside of the bar as there is a kitchen with DoRite going on but the enclosed patio is good and a great place for the pups to hang out.

• MEC will also be the host of our Austin Marathon After Party (Sunday, Feb 16th after the race)!

• Remember to bring your ID to the bar every week as well.

We'll see everyone tomorrow at 7.00p at Mean Eyed Cat to kick off a new year of RAW.

New Year, New Bar!

Paras, Ryan, and Pat
