OK. Seems first decision has been made by majority- looks like Austin is the hub. I know that, if it stays that way, Cary & I will be hotel bound (Batboat Hotel) on Friday of whatever weekend the group agrees on.

Im there.......
...as to a date. The Longhorns have a football game at home on 11/8 so hotel rooms might be an issue for those of us coming from out of town and staying over Friday night. Might I suggest the following weekend (Fri 14th/ Sat 15th). I've kinda grown to like the Marriott so I suspect we'll be staying there again. http://www.marriott.com/hotels/trave...-austin-hotel/
And Tone- thank God there's no need to help rebuild my son's Flugtag glider in 100 degree temps like the last time I was in town. For those who didn't see my Chupacabra son Jeremiah's feeble attempts at birdlike status, after Tone & I lent construction advice (mostly the former by the way) the night before, here was the end result from that hot day last year in front of 40,000 people.
That day was best summed up by Charles Dickens: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times". Damn hot is what it was.

I tried but it looks like I'll fail (Ryan was right - hate it when that happens). It looks fairly certain that I'll be in Austin on 18-19 Nov but I have to brief some brass on my program on the 17th here at Belvoir. I'll keep it a maybe in case plans change (they usually do).

Put a smiley after you say that Bub.
Gotta work that weekend, so it doesn't look like another road trip is in the cards... for now. Cece & I still want to make it down there to visit. Also, I have to put the Texas pit crew to work installing Tone's hitch on Cece's VX... Have fun!
Like I said - plans always change. The whole friggin trip is off now.
Julian, the meet is in Austin, go ahead and confirm that you are coming already, so we can meet up at your house, you know if that is ok and all, lol......
