Everything you need to know. Read it, internalize it, tattoo it on your forearm. This is happening.
Fly in Thursday night, April 9th. We'll have the Airbnb locked for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. That gives us at least two full days of controlled chaos. Return travel Sunday, April 12th.
Add to CalendarGet yourself there by Thursday evening. Several of us still have family in ATX, so if you want to arrive earlier or stay later, we can likely sort crash pads. Just let Corey know.
Search FlightsWe're choosing between a downtown Austin Airbnb and a lake house outside the city. Scroll down, vote for your preferred path, and we'll lock it in.
Nine specimens of male friendship converging on the city that shaped us. Mike has no idea what's coming. (He probably does. He's not an idiot. But he'll still love it.)
Mike's money is no good this weekend. We'll split lodging 8 ways. Final numbers once we lock the Airbnb. Budget for your flights, food, drinks, and poor decisions separately.
Rule 1: Mike has a good time. Rule 2: Everyone gets home alive. Rule 3: What happens in Austin gets posted to the group chat immediately.
Before you think this is some dignified affair, please revisit the historical record. The Facebook archives do not lie.
You're looking at the man who's about to commit to one person forever. Let that sink in. Slowly.
Two visions for the weekend. Pick the one that speaks to your soul. (Or pick "either" and let the opinionated ones decide.)
Candidates for home base. These are on deck — final pick depends on path vote and availability. Corey's handling booking.
The showpiece. Heated pool, outdoor movie setup, and walkable to 6th Street. Premium price but the amenities match. Free cancellation before April 4.
View Listing on Airbnb →Best bang for the buck by a mile. 5 bedrooms and sleeps 16 — nobody's sharing a bed. Superhost, and the cheapest option in the downtown group. Free cancellation.
View Listing on Airbnb →Best location for walkability to fine dining and nightlife. Perfect 5.0 rating across 20 reviews. Central Austin means less Uber time, more party time.
View Listing on Airbnb →Best of both worlds — walking distance to Lake Austin but still 10 min from downtown. Pool, gym, 4 full baths. Superhost with 42 reviews. Solid mid-range pick.
View Listing on Airbnb →The lake house dream. Private boat dock on Lake Travis, wet sauna, arcade machine, and ping pong. Cheapest per-person of any listing and it's literally on the water.
View Listing on Airbnb →💡 Pricing note: All prices shown include fees for April 9–12, 2026 (3 nights, 9 guests). Per-person costs assume all 9 guys split evenly.
