I really didn't want to spend that much either, we are only going to be there a little while to sleep! I don't mind getting some exercise.

I personally don't mind the walking either, but I wasn't sure what the group wanted to do. If I can walk back drunk in New Orleans, I can do it in Austin. I just need someone to make sure I'm walking the right way, lol :D

Klar

Might not make it out now. I have some Boy Scout events to attend to. I'll see what my schedule is when it gets closer and stay in contact.

Just let me know what you guys decide. Either hotel is okay with me but I would like to be where the majority stays. I finally got my Omni cert.

jenkins-crew

So do you want us to take you off the list for now or leave you on?

jenkins-crew

I talked with Jackie for awhile Sat. and think we are still going with the Omni. We can put at least 6 per suite (since there are 3 living areas per suite) so that will be about 60 a night per person.

Klar

I was on the list? I live in Austin. Just saying that I probably won't make it out to the event.

jenkins-crew

OK, well if you can that's great, but we understand family stuff, take care.

Klar

Family stuff? I have no kids. I'm the Eagle Scout that needs to attend to his additonal duties as a council member.

jenkins-crew

Let me re-word that "personal stuff" :D

Hey all....the OMNI is with out a doubt the place to stay. The hotel looks awesome and it is literally a stones throw from 6th street. Parking at the La Quinta is valet ONLY! I asked if we could park our own cars and was told no. Valet ONLY! I don't know about you all, but no stranger is driving or parking my 8!!

I had a night on 6th street lastnight....really fun evening!! I can't wait to hang with you all down here in a couple of weeks!! :D

I think that is what we are going for, thanks for the insight Danny! Can't wait either!:D

Scalliwag

Yes it would really put a damper on things if I had to beat the **** out of a valet for burning driving my car in a way that pissed me off

Ok, I was looking into another place and since I'm not that familiar with the good/bad parts of Austin I am asking about this location. It's the Doubletree Guest Suites in Austin. 303 West 15th Street. I bought one of those Entertainment books from my kids school and by going through them I can get a two queen bed suite for $149.00 per night. It's about 9 blocks from 6th street Entertainment District.

jenkins-crew

I think we are still going with Omni. Talking with Jackie it looks like we will only have to pay about 60 a night per person. She has 5 suites reserved.

NYT-OWL

yeah, but at $149.00 a night divided by 4 people would only be $37.25 before taxes. it's also $12 to park in thier underground garage. just something for consideration. link::

I'm with N-O on this one.... leaves more $ for fun!

dazygirl415

Whatever ya'll decide is fine with me.

Mr. Ed's rx-8

sorry but i won't be able to make it now due to just lots of crap going on. sorry. hope everyone has a good safe time!

jenkins-crew

There goes that dedication :D

Mr. Ed's rx-8

ouch...yeah well i've been over on the acura forums lately...thinking about selling the 8 all together!

Scalliwag

I am still cool with whatever. Walking several blocks is fine by me as well. So let's get a decision made and get the reservations as soon as possible. Having that out of the way will sure make me feel better

jenkins-crew

uhm..bull-****..uhm!!!! :D

jenkins-crew

We are working on it Scalli, I am supposed to hear from Jackie today.
