GABF is the 9th - 11th this year so I probably won't be available that week.

Yes.

In fact I've been trying to turn it into a road trip to Colorado for the last couple years, but so far it's just me heading up there.

So I have about 4 months to find a trailer of my own to pull.

Cool, cool, cool!  Looks like the third weekend in October is gonna be best for more folks (everyone that's posted so far, best I can tell).

I agree with Jim on moving the start day back a day to make it a Friday - Tuesday kinda thing. 

Along that line, though, would it make any since at all to really start "late" and have us cruise to Austin on a SATURDAY, then be in the Hill Country Sunday - Tuesday ? 

That would be October 25th - 28th...

Third weekend sounds good (so far). I like the Friday - Monday idea, skipping Austin if necessary. Austin on Thursday could be optional?!?

[never2loud]

Oh yeah and one more thing; we need four volunteers for the boarding party that will kidnap Swanny...

I'm up for skipping Austin.  Too many strange traffic laws in that town. 

[caffeinejunkee]

Yea, I don't mind skipping Austin as well.

[never2loud]

Well O.K. then, it's settled - no Austin over-night this time.  And I've edited the title to reflect the date 

[Duc L'Smart]

I like where this is headed... 

[never2loud]

O.K., now that we've got the triviality of time sorted out    let's talk nitty gritty.

What I propose is a chili cook-off Saturday night, October 25th, between our wonderfully twisted friends from the THCM and those of us who, for reasons known only to ourselves, call the D/FW area home.

Now, we all know David (Heiro) rocks when it comes time to cook, but I've got a feeling there's one or two of us D/FW folk who know a thing or two about chili. 

Perhaps a healthy l'il competition is in order then?  Chili at twenty paces 

And of course no contest is complete without a judge - thus the request for our former Mod from TOB to attend.  I'm sure he will be completely unbiased   

Then there's the matter of beer.  Honestly, what goes better with a nice Autumn evening than chili and beer?  (Yeah, there's that   but we're talkin' food here people  ).  I'm hoping Murduc can attend and will bust out another awesome batch of his finest.  Please set up a PayPal account or something similar now so those of us who plan to attend can kick in some cash before you have to go out and buy all the ingredients.

What else am I forgetting... Oh yeah!  Dibs on one of the rooms in Cabin 26

P.S.  Bryant, I'll get together with you at some point and get all the contact/reservation info for Koyote Ranch.

Can someone please copy this thread link and post it over on THCM - I seem to be having some technical difficulties with cut and paste at the moment
