So when's chicken season around here? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

We know beef season is a year-round thing in Texas. Even Oprah knows it. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

BBQ'd Bevo!? Never!
On the other hand, grilled Revielle might not be too bad http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Actually, UT's first mascot was a dog. You can read the story of Pig at http://www.utexas.edu/tours/prowl/prowl_stories_f2.html

I can't imagine what BBQ'd collie might taste like and I hope I never get the opportunity to find out. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thumbsdown.gif

Great link about Pig. I had almost forgotten about that.

studley, I think the chicken in season thing was a joke that the owner played on unsuspecting northerners. If I remember from my last visit there, he had changed the menus and left it off the new ones. Can't remember if the pig lips are still on it, but we'll find out soon. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Moving this back up in case more can join us.

I'm not going to be able to make this one, guys - I've got a friend who's going into the Navy and that day is her going-away party. Anyone who's heading to Texas next weekend: the weather outlook is excellent so far! It's in the 70s here.

This week's "What's Doing" in the NY Times.

Hello Everyone!

Our get-tegether next Saturday is shaping up well. I expect that we will have some certificates (e.g., "Most Unreceived GoldPoints", "Most Orphan FF Miles" and "Flown on Most Defunct Airlines), some "Proud to Fly American" pins and a few door prizes to hand out.

Please remember that the Salt Lick (18300 FM 1826, Driftwood TX, tel. 512-894-3117) doesn't take credit cards, doesn't sell alcoholic beverages and doesn't do separate checks. It's BYO Change and BYO Bottle. Estimated cost is $13.50 plus dessert.

The shindig officially starts at 12 noon on Saturday, March 2, Texas Independence Day. The reservation is for "FlyerTalkers."

To get there, take Loop 1 (better known locally as "MoPac") from Austin southwest until it dead ends into FM 1826. (The last-chance-to-buy-beer convenience store is named Bubba's and is a few hundred yards to the right at this intersection.) Turn left onto FM 1826 and go 7-1/2 miles. The Salt Lick will be on your right, with parking in the rear. If you go a few yards too far you will cross Onion Creek and the Salt Lick Pavillion will be on your right...do a U-turn to get back to the original Salt Lick. If you go a couple of miles too far you will dead-end into FM 150. http://www.saltlickbbq.com/

Just came across this thread. Count me in too, I'm a local Austinite FT but it's been too long since I've been out to the Salt Lick http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

My folks are coming down to visit this weekend, so that means I either won't be there or will be there with family in tow - I probably won't know until Friday. If I had to lay odds, I would bet against me being there. If it doesn't work out for me I hope everyone has a good time. It sounds like we're in for a beautiful weekend!

Any local FTers interested in a Round Rock Express game some time this summer? Maybe we can get a RR/San Antonio rivalry going.

hauteboy, glad you can come!

Jae, I was just kidding when I mentioned grilling Revielle. I can assure you that all Aggies, their families and their dogs will be safe and welcome http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

And this thread is now up to 3 pages! Does this mean we've hit the big time??

I haven't had good BBQ in so long so it will be a treat. (& meeting FTers). Just checked my return flights on 3/3, availability all zeros from SAT-DEN. Possible "bump" ? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Yes it does! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

We might ask folks at lunch to tell if they have ever been bumped, and what the reward was.
