I've got a couch and plenty of floor for crashing upon. I do drive through Austin when I go visit friends and family in Victoria (the only reasons I ever go back there). Despite Victoria's suckiness I can guarantee you will get fed and furnished with adequate liquid refreshments...going to the strip club is optional.
As for the idea of jumpin' the puddle to Germany - if I had the time and resources I definitely would for two reasons - awesome beer and this:

I've gone to a local atheist meetup here in Dallas but they have their meetings on Tuesdays at 7pm and I have a class at that time, so that counts me out. There is an atheist/agnostic group on campus but the information is outdated and I haven't been able to reach anyone for information about it yet.
If anyone's up for being in Dallas this weekend I can provide entertainment to the best of my ability...and if that doesn't work I'll just give you some tequila...or beer...or whiskey....and if you don't drink, ummm, well I'll have to provide my many tales of danger and excitement from the days of yore.
...yeah I get bored here...
