Central Texas (Meet in the Middle)

[caleath]

I plan on goin to that, hard to believe its in Buffalo, that's where we used to go to sell cows.

Thanks for posting this. Might be worth a trip from Houston. I didn't know that the Lone Star Pen Club was still active. Some years back they hosted an annual show at the JW Marriott near the Galleria, which was small but interesting.

I'm hoping to make it to the swap, would be great to meet folks! We need a HoT FPGeeks badge so we can ID each other.

I'm in Central Austin myself. I'd certainly be interested in a meet.

Last night here in the area. It's been fun but lots of work. I might be back in July for another week so maybe things might come together then.

I'm not going to be able to make it to the swap it's right in the middle of my work schedule (noon to 2 on saturday). Shame too, otherwise I'd certainly be going.

[KrazyIvan]

I'll be back in Dallas (Richardson really) the week of July 8.

How would Friday or Saturday of that week work for folks? We could do dinner Friday night, or we could do brunch Saturday. I'm thinking Austin for either. So that's either the 12th or 13th?

Ya'll vote and we'll pick one and I'll be holding down a table!

Preferably Friday Dinner for me personally. My Saturdays are usually spent recovering from Friday nights.

[caribbean_skye]

My preference is for Friday as I work on Saturdays.

Just found this thread. I'm in Austin. A pen meet sounds like fun.

[KrazyIvan]

I received my itinerary on Friday. I leave that Friday afternoon. I am on my own this trip. If anyone wants to meet up during that week, let me know. I may be house hunting or at least checking out neighborhoods too.

I am in Killeen and would love meet ups. Wish I still lived in Dallas as there were a couple shops.

[mmahany]

Let's make this happen people. My pens have been working too hard and need a vacation. They've already started packing their bags:

[tandaina]

OK, let's go with Friday dinner on the 12th in Austin! I'll find a place as we get closer to it!

[caribbean_skye]

Awesome. I'm in.

[tandaina]

How does Mi Madres sound? I can get their back room so we'll have quiet enough to talk and a table to lay out pens on.

[caribbean_skye]

That sounds fine with me. What time shall we meet and what is everyone bringing?

[tandaina]

6? I'll bring my currently inked pens and some I don't use anymore and am looking to get rid of/trade.

[caribbean_skye]

I probably won't be able to be there much before 7pm but I'll be there.
