You guys are making me become a Reluctant self-appointed-Organizer! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> It's not in my nature, nor is it something I am very good at, but there's so many of us in Tex, with so many varying schedules and so many cities for each of us to come from that I guess I'll just throw out the date/places we have so far.
Looks like Austin won for a location, far and away, with over 10%. We're now welcoming any casual, kid-friendly ideas for an activity/restaraunt. In addition, if we want to get together later sans the kiddos, perhaps that can be arranged.
We're now going to poll for specific dates, based on when previous pollers said which weekends would be easiest to make (anything over 5%) and least intrusive to their prior plans (anything less than 2.4%).
I hope that makes sense; it does to me at the time, LOL! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Right now, based on when would be a preferred weekend (5.07%) and the fewest amount of people who will NOT be able to attend (1.02%), it looks like Dec. 10 & 11 is definitely a big contender.
Get your vote in, please, so we can make this a great get-together and have as many people as possible attend!
I can't wait to meet each of you!

My stomach would vote for Matt's El Rancho.....just not on a Longhorn gameday. El Arroyo (the ditch) is good too. Hut's Hamburgers is good (on 6th Street). For nighttime adult entertainment.....Esther's Follies (kinda like a Saturday Night Live comedy show).

So who has voted and who hasn't? If we are going to do this, we need to set a firm date and make plans.
Right now we're looking at Oct 15 & 16 -- ya'lls ideas sound great. Any other ideas? Maybe for that particular weekend?

There is about a 90% chance that I will be there no matter what date you choose. My only fear is that my company will schedule our quarterly meeting in Austin again on the previous or subsequent weekend, which would be a problemo for me. So, just count me in as a pretty sure bet no matter what date y'all pick and I'll fly over on SW and stay at my little sis's.

I should be able to make that date of oct 15/16 as well! I'm not familiar with any of the rest around there, so anything is good...not sure if I will be bringing kiddoes or not...depends on the weekend and if Ed has them or not and if divorce is final or not!

The weekend of the 15/16th is no good for me - DS's birthday is the 17th, so I will most likely have his party one of the two days that weekend - any chance we could find a different weekend?

Hey Mel,
I like your idea - I could have a cowboy theme for DS's party and invite you as the entertainment - you could hog tie 'em all and then we could eat all the cake!

BB

Drove through that neck of the woods twice on our way up up north....If you are planning to go to Austin and will be driving...come through H-town and we can drive the rest of the way together! I'm not far from 290 and that's the main drag into Austin.

BB Thanks for the offer; I would love to ride together, but I will probably hop on a Southwest flight in Dallas and fly over. I just loathe that drive to Austin! My sister has a great guest room so I will probably crash there.
