For what it's worth -- There's a brand new Comfort Suites at Pizza Hut Park, within 200 yards of our tailgate spot. (It's further to walk to the soccer stadium than it is to the hotel). I called today, and they are completely full the night of 4/25. I asked to be notified if any rooms become available, so we'll see. They did not confirm the concert date, and they did not know of any large group bookings. No other dates are sold out that I found - just that one.

Dang I was hoping to get a room there.

the .. Uh.. well.. the place we stayed last year? the Holiday inn Express?
was next to Hooters..

on my trip last year I stayed at 3 places..

I'll be staying in Ft Worth at my son's except for the show and I want something nearby.

yep.. the Holiday inn Express was close.. to Pizza Hut park..


AND next door to Hooters..

So far, Pharmgirl has agreed to handle the payments and accounting.
PharmBoy will help out with getting stuff to the tailgate.
Springparrot will handle the mailings.
RagtopW will stay on the Spain's to bring their asses.

That's a pretty good start...

Cups.........I got cups.

Last year in my group. I brought four couples and nine months later half of us had brand new keets. No I was not part of that half.

Sounds like it could be coming together. Yippy

We have tickets to the Talladega Race the weekend of the 24th, so if it is the 25th...I'll have to make a decision on where to go......oh no.....decisions, decisions...

But....Bill, count me in for helping whether I make the concert or not.........just let me know what you need done......

booked, for Hampton Inn this year.....(Tom wants smoking)....on Parkwood
It said 10 miles I don't remember it being 10 miles....

is it???

I just heard back from the GM at Comfort Suites. They've been sold out for about a month now, over pure fan speculation that Buffett will return the last weekend of April - no large group bookings. I am near the top of the waiting list so I should be notified if there are any cancellations, but if the date is solid I wouldn't count on that.

I'm so confused, and it's only January.

If it's the 25th sunseeker won't make it back... But if it's after that she will.....

&(*(*&^^%^$^#$#$*&%*&))(#@@$$% Guess we need to hope for an early May date?

Glad to hear you'll have vacation time saved by then Janice...worried about that.

Or anywhere else where there's a BN get together.

Let me know how I can help- have much more time to plan this year......(I now work for the hubby so anything Buffett related can be my full time focus).

Just wanted to say Hi to everyone. We've been waiting for this thing to get started. I'll try to help with what we can from here in East Texas. BYOB sounds like the way to go. Look foward to the FRENZY, doesn't really matter what date it is cause THERE AINT NO PARTY LIKE A BUFFETT PARTY. All in.

We stayed at Townesuite last year. Very good rooms and rates.
