Mackieman did a site visit to the Oakridge Smokehouse Restaurant in Schulenburg, TX recently and reports that while the food is not likely to be that overwhelmingly memorable, it will fill an empty stomach. And, that might be the most important thing for mid-Friday afternoon.

Very Interested as well. I use to be stationed in Killeen and we would drive down to Austin to party on 6th street. I just hope the airfare from Chicago will be fairly reasonable, as I have been checking over the past year and they always seem to be 250+.

Maybe they changed their affiliation since I was last there?LC's had some wicked burnt ends though. There was another place on the right about another 1/2 mile down Blue Parkway that was pretty good as well, but by then I was so full of BBQ, I could barely walk.

Now that I report to a practice leader in our Austin office, this one will be a no-brainer for me. I probably won't be able to do all the festivities, but certainly Thursday evening, Friday afternoon/evening, and Saturday.

Folks, Mackieman has put together a dandy event web site, which we invite you to peruse, fold, mangle, spindle, and otherwise abuse:
http://www.ausmegado.com/index.cfm
You will notice that the schedule deviates from what was previously posted here. That is because we are getting final feedback from the venues and are having to adjust as we go. I will eventually get to making all this information uniform, but the web site above will be the best resource to get the latest information.

Oklahoma Joe's is probably my KC favorite...but I thought it was in a Diamond Shamrock/Valero gas station.
