Thumbs up (DFW) Anyone up for Austin in Nov??

Since we've had many new members join since the last trip, we're planning another one for the third weekend of November - a great weekend to enjoy the last bit of window-weather. :D

The hotel is the Omni. Depending on how many people sign up, we may need additional members to registered as "preferred guests." Jenkins - I still have your information and the hotle didn't ask for the coupon so we can use it again.

We'll drive down Friday night and stay until Sunday. We'll have lunch at a specified location on Saturday and it will be posted to anyone who is in the Austin area at the time can meet up with us (and you are ALL welcome to). We'll drive Lime Creek on Saturday and then hit up 6th street. I'll do some research to see what else is going on in the area.

So who's game??

Dazy
Jenkins
Amber
Coop

<Mr. Ed>

Lime Creek Only

We're going Nov 18-20. If it's the same weekend, do you want to ride down with one of us?

What about you Houston guys <ahem, RotoryGod & Brillo>, do you guys want to drive up for lunch and drive the twisties with us?

And everyone check their stash-o-goodies for walkie talkies. I have two.

I think it's about $300/night. If we fit 6 people per room again it'll be roughly $50/night per person.

The Southpark location isn't downtown. The downtown location is within walking distance of 6th street so we can all have a good time and don't have to worry about driving back to the hotel.

gotcha... lemme retry this then...

ugh $269 a night at the Downtown Omni.

For some reason it did not come up when I chose DT as the destination... it might be incorrectly listed.

I'm going to reserve one hotel room today since we have 5 people. We can reserve more later on if more people sign up.
