Checking in from San Antonio to let y’all know I’m still alive.
This (coming) weekend would be good for me, as it’s a two-and-a-half-day off weekend.
Just tell me where and what time.
Robin
I’ll be there, with my chaps on, tho if the weather keeps getting warm, maybe not. The 28th, I also have ANOTHER dinner party (doing the Beltane thing) so could we hold it a bit earlier in the day, so I cans spend time with you guy, or maybe do it on a Friday evening or even an early Sunday?
There’s Dallas Dope in early May? Yee-Hah! I’ll saddle up the bike and terrorize the Dallas Dopers! 
Hey, I’ll be in San Antonio next weekend (check out my thread here). Since you guys are talking about getting together, and it looks like you might be stealing MsRobyn away, I thought I’d see if hop on board.
Bump!
C’mon, guys… work with us here!
Robin
hey fellow austinites…
How about this Saturday at Shady Grove? How does noon sound to everyone? Freyr, would that work? I want for you to be able to stick around! 
After lunch we could wander around the new Bob Bullock Texas History Museum - Saturday is the grand opening. I think this crew could use a little culture! 
I don’t know what the cost is. If there is interest, I could find out. Also, if cost is a factor, but you guys are up for a museum-y day, the LBJ Library is amazing (and free!). And, I will show you the best fountain in Austin!
Perhaps we can get rob another tattoo… (or are you riding this weekend?)
I’m up for it, unless I’ve already got plans I don’t know about (work).
I got a real digital camera since the last one. I’ll bring it if I get to go.
Sounds good, saph (although I need a street address)!!! See y’all Saturday!!!

That works for me! I’ll have to leave around 4 or 5, maybe later, but that’ll give me plenty of time with my fellow Dopers!
Darn. Another Dopefest in Austin, and again it looks like we can’t make it. 
pout I really want to, so keep having them, and I’ll do my best to make one soon. I’ll see if maidenunicorn can make it though, she’s now living in your neck of the woods. I know she’s not working on Saturday.
Beatle is right, I do like all of you that I’ve been lucky enough to meet so far, and trust you with my daughter.
Have a great time, and if you do go to the LBJ Library, holler at my son, who is going to UT. In fact, I’ll keep checking this thread, and perhaps he can come in our stead, if he can find transportation.
Btw, thanks, Robin, for the email. I’m answering you now.
okay then, tentative plans:
Saturday, 28April at noon
Shady Grove
you can check out Shady Grove here
hopefully it will be a nice day so we can sit outside again
I will be in Austin around 4 or 5pm, so if the gathering is at noon I will be unable to make it. Perhaps an after Dopefest drinking binge at the Filling Station again?
I like that idea rob…tho we don’t have to have this on a Saturday. Would a Sunday work for everyone also?
Come on folkses- let’s get this thing rolling!
I can do Sunday and I don’t have any time limitations, either! Count me in!
Sunday sounds good too. We could have lunch at Shady Grove, then drinks. Woo!
Sunday works for me too, but since Monday is a workday, I can’t stay much past 9 pm or so.

Looks like we are on for Sunday, 29April - 12:00pm at Shady Grove. Ignore the cranky review at the end of this page. The previous Austin dope attendees can attest to its falsity.

::bump::
come on people, work with us here!

I will almost definitely be able to make an appearance. I would also suggest that at some future date we do a dopefest at the Flamingo Cantina down on 6th Street. I love that place.

Sadly due to circumstances beyond my control I will not be able to be there this weekend like planned. I wish I could be there… sigh I will be there in spirit.
