As a local I certainly am interested in attending and meeting FlyerTalkers, but I work a rotating 2 month schedule and won't find out of Feb availability until late January. I'm sure I'll be able to get in on something if I don't get a Thurs-Mon schedule, but can't be certain of what until then.

Yo William - I am starvin' and I think we need to meet at the 'Lick this week to help you do some more planning ... and discuss the strategy of over eating BBQ! and/OR we could meet for lunch at the Iron Works for the beef ribs for lunch this week? For an excuse to eat those beef ribs (Mrs. TexasYankee doesn't visit Flyertalk) I will even buy! Oh maybe this should have been in a PM ...
I will bring 2 vehicles if need to help with the transportation - details later.
And I volunteer to run radar interference in front of the group coach trips in order for all to have fast BBQ gratification!
With reference to the meal at the Salt Lick - tell me that you forgot to include that cobbler ala mode is part of the cost?

Regrettably, I'm going to have to wait until after the New Year, but I sent you a PM with another possibility.

Frankly, I can't remember the last time I had enough room for dessert though. Best regards,

So we can move you from the Maybe/Interested category to the Confirmed category also?Regarding the Central Market tour, that one is currently full of confirmed attendees. The only question mark is whether opushomes and MarshaB will be arriving in time to attend the tour, so I'll have to put you on the wait-list for now until that gets sorted out.

I am, however, going to ask anyone who registers for the CCC Tour to complete their full registration no later than January 31, 2010 or give up their RSVP to this event to someone else. The registration web site will go live no later than January 1st, so that gives anyone with an interest 31 days to do so. After that, I'm going to start contacting the folks flying stand-by to fill up the 30 available slots.
Sorry to be a hard case about that, but the logistics demand it.

Thanks. This is being noted in post #4, but unless one of the confirmed folks back out, only one of you may be able to make it in if opushomes and MarshaB are unable to make it. 30 is the limit and in the conversation I had with the Central Market folks earlier today, they re-affirmed that.
