I say let YoDaddyO and tacman drive the date since they're the locals and we obviously hope to have them there. Especially since YoDaddyO has volunteered his crib for target practice.


I'm in.  I agree with WIML that the official date revolves on both YoDaddyO's & tacman's availability. I should be able to manuever my schedule accordingly to match the preferred date by the majority. 

peticblanc:  I hope that Ronnie & you can join us as well!

Preliminarily i would say that the May 18th - 19th would work great

I'll reach out to Tacman via pm and see what works for him

On Saturday i was thinking of doing a catered event at my home or starting here and then going to possibly Hudson on the Bend (if they would be open to it)...I'm sure that Tacman is more plugged in than I in the wine and food scene here locally and he might have better destination suggestions as well as Friday ideas.

OK GG, YoDaddy, oski, tac, et all....next date that works for everybody?

btw, if 5/5 works for everybody then by all means roll with it. My trip isn't certain and if it becomes certain I guess I'll just miss it.


For whatever it is worth, and that's not much since I have had to miss the last couple of events, the April dates are better for me.  First week in May is a conference and then the Bordeaux trip third week.  However, since I missed the last couple of events do what you guys need to do.  If I can make it I will.

I think you meant "unlikely" ... ? 
I would defer to Mr. DaddyO for picking a hard date, as he is graciously opening up his home.
Between HdR, fund-raising/charity commitments in NYC, and a couple of weekends on call I will do my best to trade time.  It may well be that I can only make one evening.  Forge ahead.

Not really, my work schedule has increased exponentially in the last year, which by the way is a good thing monetarily, however it makes it difficult to schedule anything too far in advance.  As I said, if I can I will, if I can't I won't.

Just make certain GG comes by and picks up his Beaucastel I've harbored this last year :-)   Besides I don't have anything in my cellar worthy of this group........

Sounds like we have a date!

Tacman...i know your schedule is pretty packed, but let me know if you have any thoughts on an evening destination given your experience here in Austin.

My brain is bubbling over...and i need to make a few phone calls as i have an idea for possibly both nights.

There are a couple of lodging areas: Downtown, The Arboretum/Domain area and Barton Creek/Lakeway resorts...each has their own appeal, cost and such.

Let me do some dining destination research...I also would like to reach out to Barton Creek and Lakeway to see if we can secure discounted accomodation rates (these are great hill country destinations).

Also...How would folks feel about a shuttle bus transport? One of my ideas (if it comes together) would make this a very good idea for the group for convenience, timing and peace of mind.

Just begining to formulate ideas without committing

Oh...and the wine i have in mind as well...next post...

If i recall San Antonio had about a dozen couples each night with some adds and some subtracts...what do you guys think works?

Also...what price consideration should we consider for dining? (ranging from moderate to back up the truck)

I am +1 with the spouse and would like to include an additional couple that i would like to introduce to the group on one evening that is always very generous with his selections at events like this (no guarantee he can make it but he is a neighbor)

Since floydtp wants to be on the confirmed list, you want to add another couple and assuming everybody brings their SO I'd say we're officially at our maximum for the moment until venues are confirmed and the wait list is officially started. Agreed?
