yeah--but if that doesn't work out i think there are enough Austinite scrollers to taxi y'all to/from the airport whenever you get in/leave. my schedule is pretty flexible.

now what about the other Texas scrollers? y'all coming????

Wooo Hoooo! We are going to have one Helluva good time! I feel I should plan a party. I shall! I haven't had a big blow out at the casa yet. Maybe I can even talk Dad into smoking a couple briskets and a few slabs of ribs.

I'm trying to think of fun things to do while everyone is here. Here is what I have so far -

Sun Feb 11th - Rollerderby

Thurs Feb 15th - dinner at Threadgill's in honor of ROC's Bday

We could take a couple BBQ/sightseeing day trips.

I'm thinking this is a MUST.

Maybe a day in San Antonio or even a day trip to Mexico (iffy given the current boarder situation)

Don't worry about transportation. I should be able to borrow Mom's Hoe and z%m's truck fits four comfortably (if your the size of l!l@ or z%m) . That should get us all anywhere we need to go.

We should have more than enought to fill a week.

backhoe? garden hoe? ho hoe?

TA-hoe

though it would be fun to see a load of scrollers on a backhoe

oh hoe!

man what a mess we could make

OOOH yay!! And and all of those things sound like they'd be great fun! I'm up for anything. I'm easy. (And, yes, please do let that get around... )

cool..i'll alert the roller derby.

Is this little shin dig still on?

indeedy do
lila and i are arriving late on feb. 9th

the derby bout is Feb 11....you coming Smirky? you want to crash at my place?

QB...okay Lori, the scroller formally known as QB...arrives from FL on the 10th.

I'll be there. Thanks, zoomie.

I have a paid day off at work which I think would be right handy for Monday after, don't you?

right handy indeed.

the Feb. 11th bout will be the the Holy Rollers (featuring the enchanting Sister Mary Jane) [**pauses while Shawn swoons**] vs. Rhinestone Cowgirls (featuring the dreaded Honey Homicide).

I am just saying, I would love to see picks off what ever calamity you guys could do... At this moment, being a swede is a minus.

We promise to post pics of the debauchery! Any and all tree climbing evens will be fully documented. I'm sure at least one football will be thrown, and many wise cracks will be made. Xena Scrabble and Xena Mad Libs (lila stocked me up a while back )

start the countdown
