    We're driving up to Dallas after the races if you can find a cheap flight out of DFW. Can't help with a room though.

    Re: MotoGP Austin

    I'm down for a late-night meet-up. I'm staying at the Embassy Suites on Congress about 15 minute walk from 6th street. Can't do anything too early in the night as I tend to be pretty busy with meetings and business dinners. Love to see some of the crew though!

    My ticket arrived last week

    Got our tickets yesterday. We're staying at the Courtyard on 4th Street and definitely interested in getting together for dinner/drinks. Saturday night is best, Friday night is possible.

    I'll try to make the dinner Dave. May be stuck with relatives though.

    Can you just go into Stubb's for dinner on a Saturday night? It's a big music venue and is guaranteed to have a show on Sat night... I don't know for sure one way or another, just a heads-up. The last time I was there (years ago) it was standing-only live music. No seats, etc...

    Lucky for you it's only for those who want to join the fans on the track. Guessing there may more than just fans there too...

    I have no idea Mike. This is the only suggestion that anyone offered. Happy to let someone else make other suggestions!

    It's a great spot, just not sure it's what you have in mind (unless I'm mistaken). I really don't know enough about Austin to offer alternatives. I voted for Beerland. Google it and you'll catch my drift.

    Re: MotoGP Austin

    OK...here's the final plan...

    Some folks may want to eat, some want to drink, and probably everyone wants to listen to music.

    So, meet at 7:00 Saturday night in front of

    Bull McCabes
    714 Red River Street
    Austin, TX 78701

    This seems to be near enough to everything that we can at least acknowledge the NESR presence and then split off separate ways if that's how it sorts out!

    Also, we could text or call each other if we had phone numbers;

    Who's In???

    Ha. Sorry bud... Not trying to be a wet blanket. Just trying to save you the trouble of getting there and realizing that it's not really a BBQ joint and that there's a $20 cover.

    No worries...and I didn't take it that way! I think the best bet is for us to just meet up and then decide what we want to do! (The plan ISNT to go to Bull McCabes...just to meet in front and decide what to do from there.) So...are you in or not?!?
