    Great, Scott. This may be a good time to mention that eggheads coming in from out of town might check out the Hampton Inn & Suites Cedar Park-Lakeline
    10811 Pecan Park Blvd, Austin, Texas, USA 78750
    Tel: 1-512-249-0045. We don't have an after-party planned but you never know what might happen when we all get together :lol: We Chickens will be there, Kolbdriver, Frank from Houma, Lake Conroe Egger - just to name a few...come on and join us! We're looking forward to another great fest with you guys at the Oasis. Do we have the steel band again this year?

    Looks like we'll be staying the night on Saturday this year. My brother lives in Austin and wants us to stay over, so the Rangers will be around.

    Since Mickey sent me a bottle of Julios, I've tried it on just about everything. Really good stuff.

    Hi Judy,
    We are booked there as well. Thanks for the tip.
    I sent two emails to Scott with no return last week.
    I guess we have to take it easy in OKC and save some energy for Austin.

    Steve, buddy, my pal,
    You have to start your reply under the correct post or you might get missed.
    On map a little over 6 miles but I'm sure it's not a straight shot.

    You must have a really big map. My map shows it to be more like 2 inches and it's up hill all the way.

    I don't believe you will be making the walk between the two. Not sure how close my guess was, using my Garmin software on my computer. Lora will be our DD...just in case rum is involved.

    Heck no we're not taking it easy in OKC...we can rest up in Austin. Hate to admit it but the Austin group is not hardcore party-goers like OKC....bring it on!

    We like to stay there because it is centrally located and easy to get out of town Sunday morning. It is near the intersection of highways 620 and 183 by Lakeline Mall.

    From IH-35 South from Dallas - Follow IH-35 South to Exit 252 AB for R.R. 620-McNeil Road. At the stop light for R.R. 620 make a right onto R.R. 620 for 8.3 miles. You will cross under US 183. At the first signal past 183 turn left onto Pecan Park Boulevard for .3 mile. The hotel will be on your right.

    See ya there! I'm bringing my thermometer to keep my "fever" down around Tony :laugh: Don't know how we will control Kari.

    Point taken. OKC just about killed me last year.
    Although my last Texas Eggfest my friend and I ended up closing down "Carlos and Charlies". Lora can better describe our condition. She picked us up on the side of the road as we were walking home. Walking is the word in question.
