[ausev] Aug 19th Sustainable Shoppers' Ball

[Chris Robison]

Folks,

As many of you may recall, on Saturday August 19th AustinEV has been
invited to do a public demonstration as part of the Sustainable Shoppers'
Ball.  The event is located at the Toney Burger Center in South Austin on
290, between 360 and Mopac. Pretty close to the Central Market.   I think
it's a good fit for our group, and they are very interested in our
participation.  Attendance is estimated between 3000 and 5000 people, in
the course of about 4 hours.

Compared to other events we've done, this one will be pretty short -- just
the morning of the 19th.  Arrival to set up would be about 8am or so, and
the show ends at 1pm.  I've confirmed that solar and grid charging will
both be available.

This is shorter notice than we usually have, but I'm hoping we can put
together a few cars and take this great opportunity to maintain the
momentum of success from our last show at the theater.

If anyone has any questions about the event, feel free to ask here on the
list -- Chris Searles is the coordinator, and he's also a member here.
