Mashable is ready for some southern hospitality for our fourth stop on the U.S. Summer Tour in Austin, TX. The West Coast part of the tour has been great, but I have a feeling that Texas will be ready to kick things up a notch and really show our CEO, Pete Cashmore, Texas resident and Mashable editor Mark 'Rizzn' Hopkins, and I what a SummerMash event should look like. Food, drinks and fun are on the menu, but we're most looking forward to meeting the local Austin community and hearing about what's happening in the great state of Texas. Hope to see you in Austin.
