ELP DO 3: October 27-28
Yes, kids, your eyes are are not playing tricks on you, there has been an interest for people to come down to ELP for another flyertalk gathering
So, what do you think? Are you interested in making to good old El Paso, and spend a day or so in the harsh weather (high of 78 )we have in the last week of October?
And no, there is no concern for your safety here, as El Paso is the nation's safest city, #2 Best Economy in the US and an ALL AMERICAN CITY, whatever that means
Having said all that, what do you guys think?
We need to come up with a few ideas of what you would like to do here, but Satuday or Sunday evening, dinner at my house as always
Let me know who is interested in making it into the Sun City

This may not be a smart option for something to do.

One thing that I am going to try to procure this year, as it will not be as easy as years past, is the Chocoflan
Juarez is a no travel zone for anyone I know, and my friend Javier is now married and lives in El Paso
That one is going to be a though thing to get this time around
And we can work on the menu, I assume Rosie's brisket would be in order, but what else

This better include a tour of the taco factory! 
Or maybe just a trip to the nuthouse.

I am not aware that there is an Old El Paso factory here, I think they are made in NYC 
The nutshop is like 5 minutes away from my house, it's not really that big of a deal, just a small room with tons of nuts and some other candy
And Stahmanns closed

Even though this is the weekend right after the LEX Horse & Bourbon Do, please put me as a maybe.
I've always wanted to get to ELP as well as make the long drive to Big Bend National Park.

And I do not recall Big Bend National Park on any of the previous ELP Dos so that should be strongly considered as an event.
Also, we need some more big guys as bodyguards for Javier on the way over and back from Juarez with the chocoflan.

Awesome 
That's roughly 5 hours from ELP
RG3 will win
Guys with bodyguards are the first ones to get shot down there
