See all- Hike at Slaughter Creek TrailNeeds location
Slaughter Creek is in South Austin and is a loop trail. The terrain is flat, and we will walk about 3.3 miles and the hike will take approximately 1.5 hours. Dogs are not allowed on this trail, and I rate it as easy since it is flat. For more information on the trail click here.
Please don't come unprepared. Bring 2 liters or more of water, wear sunscreen, and a brimmed hat since this trail has no shade. Also, proper footwear is essential, so please wear shoes or hiking boots. The parking is not very good, so please arrive early to get a parking spot. If you enter the GPS coordinates, this will take you to the trailhead. I recommend using the GPS coordinates since they are more accurate than the address.
30.207135, -97.904776
If you can't find me call or text me at 512-922-2006.
Finally, we recommend that you review information on the trail and that you come prepared for the hike (e.g., bring at least two liters of water, wear appropriate footwear such as hiking boots, and a brimmed hat.) All attendees are solely responsible for their own health and safety.
By RSVPing for this event, you are agreeing that you are taking sole responsibility for your own health and safety and, if any, your guests' health and safety. If you or your guests are not willing or are unable to take responsibility for your own health and safety, do not RSVP for this event. - The Friend Ship Focus - Monthly Friendship Circle!

- Randomly Hosted Pub Trivia at Celis BreweryCelis Brewery, Austin, TX
Trivia night at Celis Brewery! This event alternates hosts based on availability. A great event for first timers and regulars :)
Geeks Who Drink Pub trivia event at Celis Brewery. It’s free to play (but order a pint or something and tip!) Expect 70-ish questions over 2 hours. Win free pints and other prizes. Go on to massive fame, fortune, a happy home life, self-realization, etc.
*******Important info. Please read before attending*********
- Geeks Who Drink limits tables to 6 per team. This is not our rule. We respect Geeks Who Drink's request on this because we like having a good relationship with them and the teams around us.
- Come before 7:00 pm to ensure a spot on a F****g Friends team. Organizers will not accommodate late arrivals.
- If you make friends through our group and form your own trivia team outside of our group we will not be offended. Actually, we will be happy because that means you've made some f****g friends (yay!)
- If you spin off your own teams, we will ask that you no longer RSVP through our MeetUp because it confuses people who are new to the group (unless ya'll want to stay a F****g Friends team, then please be open to new people when you have extra space).
- Our MeetUp and Geeks Who Drink trivia end at the same time. Sometimes people like to go out to dinner/drinks after an event. These are not F*****g Friends activities. Where our MeetUp ends is where ya'lls journey in friendship begins.
- Have some f*****g fun, ya'll. Mondays are already serious enough!
Celis Brewery brews Belgian-style ales and other beers, including the original witbier that Pierre Celis brewed in Hoegaarden, Belgium. 20 beers on tap and a food truck to supply the grub for the evening (https://www.backdraftpizzeria.com/).
