For the sunday afternoon BBQ at stately Stevens manor,
http://www.1966batfan.com/Wayne_Manor_72jpg.JPG

we need to engage someone to give a lecture on the formation and consumption of hydrocarbons...


Do you know where we might find a "hydrocarbons expert"? :know:

Jimbuna 04-16-08 06:44 PM

I'm thinking about coming in on the 8th and leaving on the 13th. Would that be a problem? I just gotta figure out the hotel situation.:hmm:

You can now book tickets on southwest for October! When I get the tax rebate thingy, I'm going to book everything.:up: :D

Alright fellows, ya'll have intruiged me. I'll be there.

It's going to be one long drive from Texas Tech Univ. in Lubbock, but I'll survive.

On that note. Shiner, Texas is on the way; so the day before everything kicks off I'll be at the brewery. Any and all should make it out there if possible. http://www.shiner.com/

As for lodging, a buddy of mine has a 35' sailboat down there, so I'll be staying there, it sleeps 8, but 4 spots are taken already (did ya'll really think I'd drive to Houston by myself?) So in theory we could put 4 more on it. I'll call him today and see if I can firm up that number and see if we can get any of ya'll on the Texas Tech Party Boat. Only thing is we'd prefer the college aged, dumb, wild, crazy, go two-stepping and bring the girls home with us, sort of crew (Yes, this is a legal use of the term "crew.") Knowing how to sail would also be a plus. You'll also need a well thought out pirate name. As well as splitting the cost of groceries (beer & cigarettes) with us.

It's been said that a picture is worth a thousand words: This was last weekend.

If any of ya'll think you can keep up with us, we'd be glad to have you.


(Note: This picture captured pretty much the whole weekend in one shot, it also is one of the many reasons I won't goto Mexico anytime soon.)

In many parts of this planet (this part included) the words income and disposable are mutually exclusive:rotfl: Hope y'all all have fun:arrgh!:

And, StdDev, yup, you pronunciated that correctly:up:

Onkel Neal 05-17-08 11:11 PM

The meeting is a go. More details coming, but the dates and general plan of action is set.

If you need to use the Subsim shuttle, these are the hotels we will be picking up and dropping off at:

Pearland area hotels
Motel 6 - Lowest Price

Howard Johnson - Closest with low price
Hampton Inn Closest, moderate price
Best Western

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites

Don't pick a motel way off on the north side of Houston unless you are getting your own rental car :)

...and just because I'm a "team player", I'm going to spend my stimulus package in Texas! ...(when it arrives:damn: ) $#^%@#ing slow IRS.

I still haven't worked out the hotel details though:roll: .

Deep-Six 05-29-08 09:23 AM

Neal, I dont know if I could go. Need a job and all that. The neat thing for me is that my sister lives in Friendswood. And I could stay w/ her, alot cheaper then a hotel.:D

What would you say about that?

Iceman 05-30-08 12:17 AM

I have all the time already reserved....I was wanting to hitchhike down:) being the adventerous type but the wife thinks I'm crazy....So I'm thinking I will fly,rent a car,and hotel etc...unless I can find a hot air balloon pilot who wants to float to Texas at that particular time of year....:hmm:

I see on the night of the 11th..is a scheduled sleepover on the sub or DD...I'd like to request now that I be part of that if enough spots are available..if not I can do a hotel just need to now sometime in advance.

Its an shame that I haven been active in subsims as I used to be. (if anyone remembers...)

I have missed all meetings so far, this one would be an great event. Even noticed McBeck from denmark signed up.

I dont know, It would be fun! But still... to many years has went by.

Yes indeed, the same and slighly heavier only. ;)


(Thomas as an user name here was alreddy taken, I cant remeber if I took that name a long time ago. If I look att the joining date it make sence. But I can't remeber the emailadress I used. Hence the Zorki user name. The join date is the same as sailor steve, so I guess we all created new account here at the same time.

If any admin can enter that account and just look at the email adress, just to make sure who it is. )

Any members who attended the 2004 Texas meeting will have first shot at staying at my place. If we do not fill up, I will open the slots for new attendees.

Unless anyone has strong objections, I will designate the Motel 6 near Hobby airport as the official lodging place for the meeting. This is the least expensive motel, but it's still acceptable (I stay at them frequently). This will allow cash-strapped travelers a nice clean place to stay without costing too much. Edit: it will also allow us to pick up everyone in one stop, instead of going around 5 motels to pick up people.

A room is $40 a night for one person, or you can buddy up with two large beds for $44 a night (which is $22 a person). You will need it for Oct 9 and 10, possibly Oct 12.

After we get closer to the date I will put up a buddy sheet, but you are encouraged to seek out other members you think you may want to split a room with at any time.

cheers
Neal

Currently @ $45:hmm: ~$48
