I am planning on being there

We will definitely be there!

I'm thinking about this. It's been 2 years since I was in Texas but it's probably 5 years, or maybe even longer, since I was in Austin.

Hotels near the airport will be the closest to the venue.

We were able to prepay for parking at Omaha last year. It was great. I bought it for everyone to make sure we were in the same lot. We also bought a couple of extra spots ao we had some tailgating spots other than the ones the cars were parked in.

Is that something we want to do for this show?

Sounds good to me---let me know if I need to reimburse you

[nycfeat]

Ok. I guess Austin is in for me. Now I just need to make a freaking decision about my train ride. Ugh.

[Bucarader]

We are in. Coming up from Corpus Christi. The rest of our folks are already in Austin.

[jedivet]

Not sure here. Have a local phriend to stay with and I'm off that day, so I'm thinking about it, but not sure yet. If I come down, I'd love to chip in for the parking and meet up/be all in one area. Keep us posted, please! Thanks!

I just purchased my parking for ZBB in April. Not sure if it will be the same for Buffett but you purchase 'premium' (lots closet to the gate - B,C,D) or 'regular' (lots A, E, F, etc.) But you could not select a specific lot.
Each car must have a ticket to hand to the attendant as they enter or buy parking on entry. Only pre-sale is sold in B, C, D, the other you can purchase onsite. Not sure how they will handle the RV sites, but if the RV sites are where most of the tailgating will be, it looks like the regular parking would be closer to tailgating.

Of course the scenario for Buffett may be all different

[txaggirl91]

Austin is just about out for me. It is the week before state testing and I may not be able to get 2 days off that week. I may not be able to get Friday off.

[Bucarader]

Mrs. Bucarader hasn't indicated that she will have a problem with that. Hmmmm.

[txaggirl91]

High school testing week for science. I don't know when other subjects or grades are testing so it may not impact her.

[Bucarader]

No, it shouldn't affect her then. She teaches Texas history.

After talking to my phriend in Austin, we've decided to only do the Frisco show. So, I'm out as of right now. This could possibly change, but I'd say it's unlikely to at this point. It's a money, gas, and time thing, as per usual.

Good luck getting tickets and have phun, everybody!

Same reasons for us to do the Austin show and not go to Frisco but we're still talking about trying to do both.
