Will you be there?

After San Diego and New York, where else can Nintendo go to spread the word about Super Mario 3D Land? How about Austin, Texas?

On 7th November Nintendo will take a host of Tanooki Marios to the Republic Square Park in Austin, TX for an impromptu (as in "extremely rehearsed") performance of a surprise nature. Still hoping for the Macarena.
