North Texas Gathering! January 31st
Anybody in North texas should come to a gathering at Tom's Burgers & Grill In North Arlington On Sunday, January 31st. WE're starting at 4PM and who knows how long we're going to stay there.
Let's try to park all the 3rd gens togetherso we can get some nice pics. I'm going to call tom's and ask if we can park in the display area he uses for his classic car shows once a month
Anybody who is coming or even if you MIGHT come, post on this thread so we have a general idea how many will be there

Re: North Texas Gathering! January 31st
No way we'd start that late, especially on a Sunday.That is another Saturday is better. Gives everyone time to get home & not hafta get up early the next morning, and go to work. A day to rest after a long road trip.
On another note...I couldn't find any Austin or Round Rock places we could Reserve, short of the Austin buildings that they rent out for churches/High School Reunions, etc. Georgetown is cheap & only like 15 minutes north of Round Rock. If you come up from Houston on the Toll Road, it dumps you out like 2 miles from the park, so it wouldn't be bad at all.
It takes me a hour to get to Georgetown, so I don't want anything thinking I'm just trying to make it easier on me. EASIER than for Houston/DFW people? Yes. EASY? Well....A road trip is a road trip, huh?

Re: North Texas Gathering! January 31st
I see the problem....I got this Arlington thread mixed up with the Texas Gathering thread, which we have set at 1pm in Round Rock (just north of Austin). I'll Unsubscribe from this thread, so there is no more confusion on my part.

Re: North Texas Gathering! January 31st
whoever gets there first, ask the manager if it's ok if we park in the grassy area next to the street. It's a pretty cool display area.
I'll try calling when the day time manager is there, if he says to do that, I'll post something here by 3PM

Re: North Texas Gathering! January 31st
talked to somebody there (not the manager) and they asked us to park out front, but not in the grass. Personally I'd rather find the least filled part of the parking lot to try to get everybody togeths, so we'll just have to see what happens when we all get there

I heard somebody say the beer was free, but I didn't know if they were joking or not....
Oh well, I don't drink, so I didn't lose anything
I'm going to upload pics in a minute

That was a nice turnout, especially for such cold weather! Makes me wish I could have made it. 
What's this I hear about free beer? Whoever managed that needs to be helping with the state wide meet!

Re: North Texas Gathering! January 31st
they dont have a liquor license, so they just give it away. lots of places do that. Hooters in Arlington, NYPD in Euless are two i can think of off the top of my head.it was PBR... i like PBR just fine, but a lot of people dont.
