a texas lit-together

[amelia]

why don't we plan a texas get together of lit members...?

there are a gillion of us...it would be totally fun...i think we just need to decide where most of us are...and plan something...

i'm in amarillo now...i may be moving to dallas soon (as in spring semester soon)...or lubbock..or...i don't know..i'm going back to school

 

[Tyrael]

Heh, Texas ain't too far away from me.

I might show up....loaded with manga of course.

 

[StrawberryPez]

I use to live in Texas just north of Amarillo. If I still lived there, I'd be all for a Texas Lit-together

 

[Aphrodisiac]

I am game ... I would go if there was a texas gathering.

Just as long as its in the summer, does not interefer with my summer classes ... I am good to go !

 

[Aphrodisiac]

Austin is very pretty and I know my way around there....

But then again San Antonio is closer to me ...

But I would not mind Dallas at all , since my baby is there... I can spend some time with him.

 

[unclej]

dallas might actually be the most convenient. if you look at the "texans invade lit" thread there are a bunch of members up there. maybe as many as ten or so.

'course i live in one of the prettiest parts of the state. half an hour from the guadalupe river and about three minutes from the blanco. there's lots of little cabin/campground places around here.

name the place and i'll be there.

 

[Silverluna]

I'm in icky houston.....but im willing to meet others from houston

 

[DustyWolfe]

Austin is kind of in the middle of the state, it would be centrally located and about the same distance from end to end of the state for all to travel. Just a thought of course.

 

[Azwed]

Grrrr

 

[unclej]

austin would be cool. 25 minute drive instead of 3 1/2 to dallas.

 

[amelia]

i think austin is an 8 or 9 hour drive for me...only a couple hour flight though...dallas is 5 i think...i'm up here in the middle of no where...


az..you're invited...!

 

[Gamelover221]

I've seen a couple of other Texas get together threads. I am not sure if any have ever been finalized and executed though. There usually seems to be a good amount of interest out there, all it would take is some qualified coordinators.

Even though I don't live far from Dallas, I've really never been into the heart of it all. I spent a lot of time around north Austin/Cedar Park/Round Rock area though.

If you don't mind some suggestions if you decide on Austin...

Austin Parks and Recreation Department has reservable picnic areas in which alcohol's permitted. They have bbq grills and setting it up as a potluck kinda thing is usually easier than finding a place that will split the check for that many people.

The hardest part is finding one in a decent neighborhood that's available when you want it.

Yeah Texas is only an 20 some hour drive to the border from VA.

I am in DFW, but Austin isn't a horrible drive for me. I am in Amarillo every few months visiting my sisters.

Umm... There are lots of good places to go. Zilker park is a great place

Yes, Zilker rocks. Since it's also part of the Austin Department of Parks and Recreation, it's on that site. It's also very crowded and large, so finding one another once in the park would be a consideration.

Depends on what kind of facilities you want available. You can find a clear enough patch of grass at Zilker, but if you wanna be able to grill you'd have to reserve one of the 6 picnic sites there. In the midst of summer, that might not be very easy.

Party

I would enjoy it. I live in East Texas but do my drills in DFW. Go to Houston alot and will be in North West Texas in July.

ARaynes up in Dallas is pretty far along planning a get-together for early September in Dallas. It's gearing up to be a good crowd -- all ya'll mark your calendars -- the more the merrier!

Amelia, you may live in the middle of nowhere, girlfriend, but your Big Sky and Canyons ROCK. I love it up where you are. Maybe we should hire a bus and take a group of Litarians to see the Texas play in the Palo Duros (sp?) canyons like all the family reunions do. You know how they announce each group to the crowd during the show? Oh, can't you just hear it? LOL What should we call ourselves??????

Silverluna, PM me sometime. There's probably more of us in Houston than Big D. SecretKate (she's the designated Den Mom) and I are trying to keep track. We nearly have enough for a Houston get-together, except half are married and half are not. The two have a hard time coordinating schedules because of logistics.

Amelia,

Texas get together would be great. Even though I don't live there Austin would be a great place to have it.

When you live in the flatness of West Texas you start to miss the little things like hills & trees.

 

[red_rose]

This is so awesome!

(I haven't read all the posts yet - I'm at work....)

I live in Denton, just north of Dallas.

I wouldn't mind driving anywhere in Texas - this could be a lot of fun!

Small world, hm?

I'm eventually going to UNT...but I just moved back out here (from FL) so I don't qualify as a resident... yay! More community college for me!

If/when you move back, we'll have to meet up... ya know... go on a man-hunt or something. lol

I used to live in midland I know the feeling. In boyscouts instead of having a soapbox derby we had a pushbox derby cause they are no hills to go down. I was a kickass pusher.
