Texas get together
 

Hey, we have all these FlyerTalk meetings in New York, Boston, and Long Beach. How about one in TX? I am sure there are enough Texans or frequent travelers to TX on FlyerTalk. AUS, DFW, IAH, SAT-- take your pick.

BTW, AUS will be opening its new airport on 02 MAY 99- Austin Bergstrom International.

Well, Podnah, Count Ol' JAWs in as the original "Texas Ranger". I am sure all us Texans would attend, and after that, we would have to be selective as to whose passport we permit to cross our border. We can pick a date when The Astrodome or Texas Stadium is available, cook up some of our GREAT BAR-B-QUE, and just have good ol' time.

As JAWs always says, "This will be one of the best things to happen with your boots on".

JAWS ... I thought you Texans did *everything* with your boots on anyway ...

Sounds like a winnah to me... keep me posted on plans.

An all-night pub-crawl on the Riverwalk in San Antone is do-able -- and most of the major hotels (with frequent stay clubs) such as Hyatt, Hilton and Marriott are right on the Riverwalk.

The Astrodome and/or Texas Stadium or the Bawl-park in Arlington sounds like a good idea too! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

San Antonio! Yeah!

SAT is a good place. We could also do some "crawling" around El Mercado, too. Of course, with our boots on.

Beckles, you can just about put "everything" in that category. We haven't tried swimming, yet!

Honorable, noble best buddy JAWS...

Would you wonderful Texans mind if a friendly and good natured Cat loving man from JERZEE join your party?

I would probably need a passport -- but I'm in good with the Texas Rangers so that should be easy.

Weekends best... that was if I'm in no condition to come home sunday night I have sick days to use! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

And San Antonio gets FOUR PAWS up! Maybe your native Texas can show me the real hot spots to go to. I haven't spent more than a few hours later.

OMNI: ONCE I DID go Swimming with my boots on. My dingo boots with my Tan Stetson (which I'll wear to the Texas gathering!)

And my Hawaiian shirt! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Dang. Dallas Alley or Riverwalk. Tough choice!

As a true American (Texan only by the grace of God), I would certainly relish the opportunity to go stompin'. SAT gets my vote.

PS - Any Dallasians with Cowboy tix they won't be using on Turkey day - please let me know as I kind of promised my dad I'd take him to the game this year.

Cheers,

'toad

'toadman--born & raised, I hope. If so, I know you cannot wait to get back.

'catman--I will not tolerate another post about how you don't drink anything but Pepsi. No true gentleman with his Stetson and boots on would go swimming without being full of firewater.

JAWS... I'll explain how I got my boots wet to your directly.

When are you folks planning this Party in paradise/48 states thing?

Hey, not bad, 6 people (AusTXHiker, Jaws, AlphaSigOU, PremEx,Hammertoad, and Catman,)on the first day of posting. So far, SAT seems to be the first choice with DAL coming in second. Let's wait to get a few more people in and then compare calendars!

C'mon now, TX is right smack in the middle of the US (well, south central), yall can sample our state's fine Southern hospitality.

Catman- you can come if you promise to have a taste of TX's finest Blue Bell ice cream.

As a transplanted Texan (spent my teenage years in Sugarland, TX), I sure would like to see a gatherin' wherever it's happening!

Noo Yawk Yankee by birth... Texan by the grace of God... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Unfortunately for San Antonio, none of the major airlines have a club. Continental has been talking about putting a President's Club in SAT this summer; I'll believe it when I see it!

Anyhow... one good thing SAT has that DFW doesn't is that the locals will throw a party at the drop of a hat. (We're getting ready for the annual Fiesta - the Riverwalk will be a zoo beginning next week and continuing for the next week and a half!)

San Antonio works well for me--=haven't been in a couple of years. May or July will be better than June.

OK count us in too. My CA/AZ passport still work in Texas?

Mid-July is best for us (or is that us'n -- have got to find my Texan dikshunairy http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif)
