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.

Topping, anyone?

So far, the count includes

PM
Bwino
me
Seamus
OO
jill_h

and I am hoping that someone can convince kismetchimera since I wanna buy her lunch

fyb- I'm in! I might bring a friend, too. I'll let you know when I am sure! Cannot wait to hook up with y'all!

ps My company employees several hundred people in Mauritius!

I am trying P_M - it will be last minute if I do - it is all about me getting dd to baylor and having to be at work on Sunday at 7:00 am and my other daughter starting school Monday... lots to juggle but I hope to make it!

I'd love to be there! Just trying to reconcile the 6 hour round trip drive that it would take to make lunch with my current location/schedule. I'm a maybe.

PM - add a +1 for jill_h.

Really looking forward to this. It's our anniversary weekend too!

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. :-)

I understand saige!

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.

fyb... still working on that one. I hope to have some good news to report at our GTG! :)

It is actually looking good that I can attend... might be me plus 2 so I will let you know...

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.

17 days to Texas.

Woo-hoo, I'm ready for the GTG!

Me too. :-)

And me! I'm making it a long weekend in Austin and road trip with a good friend, to see another good friend~! Lunch with my FFF's just icing on the cake!!! WHOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Looking forward to meeting everyone, my first GTG :)

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.
