alright so Far we are looking at a BBQ style get togeather,
either in Houston or San Antonio
we are looking to do it in NOV so that a member that is over in IRAQ can come home and make it.
and we have a question, do we want this kid friendly!
I have my twins and would love to bring them.
Well you all have soem like major fun because I can go anywhere but I am deploying august 23 rd so yeah maybe next yr or something when I get back.
But a place I had in mind I mean san antonio for the reason being I mean you do have feista texas there one and two beer and alcohol are more in supply plus it is awesome and you guys can go on rides or whatever.
Just a idea.
I think that is why y'all can't come up with a plan because texas is to spread and all these people want to go but nobody either can't or won't come the length to do it.
That's true I agree with that I think that's why the last meet up didn't go
I knew that so why dont we get a couple of diffrent meet ups going? one say in dallas the other in houston
Well like I said I am deploying just trying to bring a little wisedom here because I want this to succeed for the most part.
And sometimes somethings have to be said and some dont want to do it so I thought I would.
So it would be easier for you all planning.
I've seen so much damn Texas it's all the same lol
But yea I think there should one in Dallas one in Houston one in San Antonio so people won't have to drive over so much damn Texas lol I know if I had a car I wouldn't wanna drive 6 or 7 hours just for a bite to eat say hey to people from the internet have a beer or two and turn around and drive back home lol
Ya, I see the point about Texas being so big we need more than one and you know they don’t all have to be at the same time pick 3 different dates and that way everybody that wants to can go to all of them or just 2 or just the one close to them
Here are some ideas I had that if you want use other wise just ignore them
One for a first meet up something like a club is maybe too much after all you want to be able to talk to these people with out going horse the next day so maybe something between a restaurant and a bar some where that if things don’t work out everybody can still have fun and not have to be around the rest unless they want to
And maybe somebody from each area that wants to have a meet up maybe they should just set it up and tell everybody when and where and remember some people have to schedule vacation times or just let there bosses know before hand so tell everybody with enough time to spare
Ok now remember these are just ideas do with them as you wish
Ironknight,
Sounds good for whatever you plan. Just let me know what the dates are and where. Just bought 2 new vehicles and ready to drive. Bought them on leave. They changed my dates for leave. Still getting back the 1st part of Nov 2009.
Alright sounds good, so what about between houston and san antoino? there any where inbetween there
Well in between would consist of New Braunfels, Seguin, San Marcos, Austin, and a few others...so then it's a matter of what everyone's up for. I don't have a ride though...so I'd either have to find a friend that might be up for it and it would have to be kid friendly if I could go.
well people we have roughly two months and some change to get this organized so lets see if we cant come to a decision
Well like i said some people can come to seguin to my house for a bbq. So anybody what to come hit me up.
why not have 2, or even 3? Texas is huge, I think we could pull of one in Houston and one in San Antonio at the same time and the spirit of the thing would still make it worth it. I am in Waco, but with the way I drive either is good with me.
Keep me informed and I need 3 weeks to get time off.
well sounds good looks as if we have a place so we just need people to agree on when it should be
I'd prefer houston, and only place that comes to mind is kemah, Just a suggestion but Im up for others.
If you don't mind an Arkansan coming I would like to join since the ones on here from Arkansas never respond to my post.
No, We dont like your kind around here! Haha Im kidding, Im sure anyone from this place would be welcome, I just wanna know more details to this, there are not many people like this around me or where im from.
a nontexan? well...ok, i guess lol
im frankly easy with the where. id just like to get together.
~W~
Its what ever with me.. Im in Waco.. so Dallas, Austin, San Antonio.. i can do it..
i am in cleburne but where ever i will try to make depends on work but if we do this it does need to be kid friendly cause i will have to bring my daughter who is also a member on here
I stil think one in Dallas and one in Houston would do the ticket.
Ok well lets get this thing started, anyone care to name a place, date and time?
Heres a suggestion: Kemah, October 3rd, around 9PM.
If anyone else has a more convenient place or time post it.
Probably, I havent been there in a while. Just trying to get something started. Someone post another place.
Are we looking at dallas or houston or san antonio.
You all need to make the place offical so we can get something together from there.
Then after picking the offical meet up city whether they can make it or not you need to think of like three places to go to.
In san antonio
Feista texas if it can happen
In dallas
Six flags if it is still open
I dont know about houston
-I say those to because you can drink there......it is kid friendly and there are different things to do and places to hang out at-
well those are some good choices, so whats people think?
Also need to keep in mind that not everyone has a lot of money to go to places that would cost a lot of money....and when are y'all having this thing? I see no set dates only choices in where it should be held at lol
My unit leaves for Iraq and Afghanistan November 17th - 20th.
None of us will be able to make it.
I need one month in advance to try to get the time off and again I think we need to have at least 2 meetings in 2 different places. I can get to Dallas or the Houston area but that would help ppl out who can't go that far
I am all for a party in Texas. I live in East Texas, but I will always be a Houstonian til I die. Please keep the people's informed.
My youngling no one here has any leadership to put this together they just want to throw suggestions or ask for dates but not take charge.
Do we have any VR members in Waco Texas???
between
Dallas Texas
between
Austin Texas
those the list these 3 cities we can make somthing work... we can meet in the middle its about an hour drive both ways.
i live in Granbury, TX will check back to see what has transpired.
