Austin/San Antonio GTG on Saturday, August 25

Greetings all. Our friend Bwino is coming to Texas from Mauritius. That's a heck of a long way from here. It's not like we get visitors from Mauritius every day so I hope you all will come to meet Bwino.

On Saturday, August 25 Bwino will be driving from Austin to SA so we are planning a GTG in Gruene, TX at the Grist Mill at 12 noon. The Grist Mill has been a great venue for GTG's in the past and I think this one will be a lot of fun too. For those who haven't been there before here is a link to the Grist MIll.

Please let me know if you plan to come so I can get a head count. I look forward to seeing you all.

fyb, are you adding a +1 too? I remember how he didn't like all of the talk about snotballs so we will skip it this time. That's old news now.

sarge, I was hoping you would see this! Although I did wonder if maybe you were under the Tuscan sun....

PM, oh yes, add him to the count. I forgot about that; I'm glad he won't have to work after this one.

PM, I just re-read your post; trust me, nothing phases him!

I mentioned on the other thread that we will probably go to Gruene Hall for a bit after lunch if anyone wants to come:

It's adjacent to the Grist Mill.

Bwino -- it's going to be HOT and HUMID!!!! 40+C for you. Dress accordingly. BUT, if you're going to be in seminars, be sure to bring a sweater because it's like a meat locker in the meetings sometimes.
