Nope... I'm not going without Irish and Dazy. But I can't go the first weekend in May. Surely we can come up with something.

By the way... this poll has gone to hell!

Let's take the people that are definitely going (me included) and see what is available. I'm free any other weekend than the first in May.

Let's go next weekend!

I don't know what everyone else thought, but I think the Oasis would be nice. I visited there a few weeks ago. All of the outdoor seating had been destroyed, but they plan on having it back by the end of March-Early April. I didn't eat, but enjoyed the scenery and drinks.

Tiff, please let me know if you have anything you need me to take care of.

Woo Hoo!

Thanks Slim. I liked the Oasis too. I only sampled their chips but the scenery was breath-takingly beautiful. And the drive to/from was fun too.

It would be very helpful if everyone could register at the Renaissance Hotel as a preferred member, if you haven't already done so. You get coupons that can be used towards 50% off of a weekend stay. It takes a few weeks to get it back so the sooner the better.

you could be brave and try a different place, say like shades or some of the other places that are right on the lake, shades includes a full trip down Lime Creek and a portion of 1431 to get there, but it is kind of small and the view might not be quite the view oasis has. (I'm not knockin' oasis, just thought you guys might want to go for something different this go 'round )

For those of you who just aren't sure if you are going to make it this year, feel free to read stories and see pics from last year.

The last time you guys were out at the Oasis, it burned down a few weeks later! Not again! j/k :D

Are the Houston people welcome to this as well?

Of course RG! Like Slim said, the more the merrier!! I just need to know so I can reserve enough rooms.

LMAO - Slim mentions to us last night at the meet that he started thinking about the trip the other night and then wasn't able to sleep! You should have seen him last year - he didn't want to leave!!
