swt61 Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absorbine_Sr Posted October 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 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.

shellylh Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzziguy Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 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.

Voltron Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 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.

swt61 Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contrastique Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 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.

luvdunhill Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 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"?

luvdunhill Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeymad Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 not bad - just down the 45... depending on how many beverage stops are needed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emelius Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 I'd be interested in any live (video?) chat &/or conference call made prior to or during the race...or even after... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
