Well, I'm definitely available for Saturday, and I still think 11 works fine. I've got things to do Saturday evening, so starting too late might not work for me.

C'mon-- lets get some other forumers in on this... Sirkingwilliam, Oldmanshirt, TXLifeguard, Coddat, KeepSanAntonioLame?-- there's a bunch of you dudes... Austin forumers?

Yep. I'd like to meet everyone too. The Nano mentioned that he hoped it would strengthen the San Antonio forum group, and help to unite Austin and San Antonio forumers. I am definitely for both of those things happening.

Don't worry too much though about how many people show up, the first time we had an Austin forum meet I think only 4 people showed up. This last time 12 people showed up.

If anyone has something to do around that time, or later in the day, still drop by. There's no set length of time people have to stay (of course). A few of the Austin forumers during our last meet only stayed for about 30 minutes.

Forum meets are fun. I've done 2 or 3 in Austin, one in Fort Worth and one in Houston and I always get a kick out of it.

I'd love to come if I still lived in SA. Ironically, I'm going to be in town next weekend but not this weekend

Just so everyone knows, we decided to meet up at 1245 instead of 1100. So if this changes things for you well be at the tower of americas around that time!

Had fun today guys. I really enjoyed it. Next time I hope more people show up.

Pictures will come soon. I drained the camera battery all the way down, so it's charging now. Tomorrow is round two on my bike.

Grand Hyatt looked very nice. I'm pleased with it. And the new lighting job on the Tower of the Americas looks fantastic.

The Nano and I were talking about having one for sure next July around the same time. Of course, you guys don't have to wait around for me to be in town, though.
And if I happen to be in town again before next July, I'd be up for a meet then too of course.

I'm still editing my pics, but here's a teaser.

Sweet pano Kevin! I had a good time at the meet. I haven't had a chance to go through my pics yet, and I still want to go out and take some more, but as soon as I get a chance I'll put 'em up.
