Yes. Have returned with many fine auto parts and what appear to be the original reels of "Terror Tokyo Subway Worm Monster"

We need to setup a contact connection so everyone can get together whether they are staying at the Holiday Inn, somewhere else, live in Austin or just coming into town for one event.

What say........ Question

Suggestion, announce at the front desk of the Holiday Inn Town Lake that you are with the A2K gathering. Anyone who is not staying there would contact someone there for up to the minute changes.

We probably need a coordinator - get an agenda together and PM for contacts numbers (local would be phone #'s, or places they are staying at), also need to get "real" names for referencing at there motel and other needed information. Any volunteers Question

I'll volunteer. PM me!

I still want us to come to a consensus about the agenda though. I have no intention of cajoling y'all to go hither and yon. I mostly want to talk! Very Happy

Me too mac, and I can't commit to attending every item on any set agenda. There may be conflicting committments, but I'll be there with bells on and ready to meet y'all. This is going to be fun

BillW, That's funny about the real names. We had trouble with that in New Mexico. We all realized we didn't know the real names of the people we wanted to meet with. The hotel desk personel didn't seem to know who Lola was. Very funny.

I'm an anal-ist by profession. Can't help it, maybe you can help, at least uncover the period that caused it Smile At least it helps on the job Exclamation People get pissed at me, they think because I uncovered the problem before it stricks, I caused it - go figure.

I know, Bill............I'm an anal-yst too, except I think I'm anally expulsive rather than retentive. Very funny. If you want the area uncovered, does that mean you need a spanking? Naughty, very naughty. Have you ever noticed that "therapist" also spells "the-rapist?" You have to look out for us expulsive type rapists. Laughing

It's great to have someone organizing. Excellent, I would say. Then I don't have to do it. I'll go along with whatever is decided. I'm staying at the Holiday Inn downtown.....the same one everyone else is, what ever the name is.....I forget (see how anal I am?) actually, what I am is hysterical, but there's no crime in it. I'm one of those "Good Hysterics" that is written about so much in the literature, just like most of the other human beings walking around (those of us who are not psychotic, that is). It's actually a compliment to say a person is neurotic these days, what with borderline, narcissistic, and/or psychopathic personality disorder and all the other labels that are used to describe naughty, struggling people. Good ole plain vanilla neurotic is the description of normal these days. Let's see, now where was I?............oh, this is going to be fun.

So what if I find out at the last minute that I can make it to the gathering? Work is not a prob...but ya never know (I'm superstitious about making long-term plans). The known contact thing would work out great.

HI-Town Lake is probably going to be A2K Central, so I hope they have a nice comfortable lobby for about 20 or so of us who are going to want to congregate and communicate and flagellate.

If not we'll have to take over a diner or something.

We're (the wife and I) going to want to go and do a few things, but I recognize everyone will be on their own agenda.

I'll keep posting activities that some will want to join us in doing.

If there is someone who has been thinking of attending this Gathering but has thought themselves unable to do so due to lack of funds for lodging...

...time to think again.

Something for you is available, and if you are interested, please contact me via PM.

It looks like the travel scholarship may enable someone special to attend, but I'll let her make her own announcement.

Another note, from someone in the know: bring your swimsuit for a visit to Barton Springs, a spring-fed lake in the heart of town. It'll still be warm enough (sadly) to take a dip, and even if you're not aquatically inclined, it makes for a peaceful respite.

Mac, it's about 8 hours from Tulsa to drive...but I can always fly (which would also take 8 hours or so, these days Wink )

Hmmmm....this is sounding funner and funner!

how about a trip down the river in an inner tube, PD? That can always be fun.
