October 21, 201213 yr Author comment_541124 Good thoughts for your cat Ken. We'll miss you in Texas. Report
October 21, 201213 yr comment_541131 Sorry Ken, I hope it's treatable and things go well. ^This Ken. Hope kitty makes a full recovery! Needless to say, I am out for this meet too Report
October 21, 201213 yr comment_541160 With all the drop-outs, it might be easier to confirm who will be there instead of who won't. That will give us a better idea about accommodations for those wanting a bedroom. swt61 - Will be in attendance. Report
October 25, 201213 yr Author comment_541783 So I'm beginning to think, due to lack of response, that this is a dead event? Unless I hear different in this thread Debbie and I will be looking for alternative lodging as we'd still like to attend the race rather than sell our tickets. Report
October 25, 201213 yr comment_541796 Unfortunately, I just realized tonight that my mom will be visiting me during that time so I am out for sure too. We really need to have a Texas meet in the spring. I could organize more in Houston but downtown Austin might be more fun. Report
October 25, 201213 yr comment_541803 It's bad news for my Little Boy. He's been diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Average life expectancy with that diagnosis is 4 months. He's getting great care and is comfortable. I hope to bring him home on Friday. Report
October 25, 201213 yr comment_541805 Sorry to hear that Ken. I'm sure your kitteh has had a great life with you, and it is always hard to let go. I guess I have to agree that the momentum seems to be lost on this event, and I am sad to lose Shelly as well. Not sure if Marc is focused on the thread, but I will PM him and maybe give him a call.

October 25, 201213 yr comment_541827 Ken's cat and the meet both dying? Of coarse the meet can always be rescheduled. So sorry to hear about your buddy Ken! I'm always devastated at the loss of a pet, as they become so much more to me. Report
October 25, 201213 yr Author comment_541843 Sad news on the cat, Ken. 14 years is a good run but it's always difficult at the end. Report
October 25, 201213 yr comment_541862 Sorry for those bad news, Ken. I wish you can make out the best of the time left. Report
October 25, 201213 yr comment_541932 Sorry to hear about your cat, Ken. Wishing you a peaceful next couple several months with him. Report
October 25, 201213 yr comment_541948 Sorry to hear that Ken. I hope you can make his last few months comfortable and enjoyable. Report
October 25, 201213 yr comment_541950 Sorry to hear about your cat...losing a pet is really horrible They are so much more than just a pet, certainly after 14 years. I hope he's not in much pain and will have a peaceful last couple of months. Report
October 26, 201213 yr comment_542003 Guys, sorry for the delinquency. Saving the interwebs from the evil criminals has taken up a lot of my free time. My place is still free, and has plenty of room. I tried to start a Google map to identify places, but the race track doesn't come up when I search for it and it wasn't obvious how to add new markers to a saved map. I'll try more later. I remember one of my first conversations with Al and jp# at a really nice brewery in SF when I asked how does one pull off a nice big, fun HC meet. The answer he gave at the time was to make sure tyrion showed up heh. I'm not sure what the formula is these days, but I have a feeling whatever the secret is, I haven't been doing it. Random thought: remember the last time when you rushed out to make sure you had that new piece of gear, or tweak before the upcoming meet? I kinda liked that rush, haven't felt that in a while. So, what can I do at this point to help? What I really need from you guys (i.e. those coming) is an "in" and "out" date/time, that's rather useful. Who's going to be the next person "in"? Report
October 26, 201213 yr comment_542004 ok, figured out the map thing: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF&msa=0&msid=213952002794498271506.0004cced113e7343a031c There are few things I cannot delete. Like "Nice Kicks" no idea why that is there and "313 E 6th" should be Midnight Cowboy Modelling (a brothel turned craft-cocktail bar) and I cannot edit the description, which is annoying. Need to add some more places, but it's a work in progress. Report
October 26, 201213 yr comment_542006 not bad - just down the 45... depending on how many beverage stops are needed... Report
October 26, 201213 yr comment_542022 I'd be interested in any live (video?) chat &/or conference call made prior to or during the race...or even after... Report
