Do not ping Austin just because your afternoon is free. The city sells laid-back; the calendars are still packed from 09:00 to 18:00 and SXSW weeks are a write-off. Aim for their late morning in Downtown Austin, after the commute and before lunch thins the room. Austin still shifts with daylight saving (UTC−6 in January, UTC−5 in July). A calendar hold with both local times beats a surprise mention. On an ordinary weekday in Austin, treat the desk as reachable only in local business hours.
