GREAT idea, there HP. I've looked into an RV. Something like $350 for three days. Was going to pick it up on Thursday and return on Saturday.
:-?
Man I gotta believe that we could get enough people together to split that up to where it is affordable. If twelve people went in on it, that's only $30 bucks a person. I know I'd be in for sure.

CRC, where are you?

It's on the southern part of KW. I think the best beach in KW is in Fort Zachary Taylor State Park at the end of Southard St.

They talked about that one, too! Made me long for warm sand, sun, and blue water.

Where is Carrolton? I wonder how many people can ride in one of those comfortably? More importantly, who would be sober enough to navigate that thing back to the hotel after the show?

There is a Fairfield in near Market Center about 4.5 miles from the Venue for $70 a night. Maybe if we reserved a block of rooms we could do a bit better. I think Fairfields are generally pretty nice, aren't they?

I think we can get 10-12 in one for the drive from the hotel to the show!

I don't drink at shows, so I'll be the DD. And I know my way around Dallas!

Auntie: What's the name of our hotel? :D
