The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
Special attendees at the Austin event will receive a limited edition DT.Org bookmark, postcard and a (not so limited) business card. All three pieces are two-sided and were created by Webstar1000 using artwork from Darek Kocurek.
The bookmark is UV coated (forgive me if that's the wrong technical description), and has a nice tassel.
Those look great! Nice job, Jerome and Kris.
very cool, they look great.

He is right they are UV coated (also in a 14pt clay glossed card stock... nice and thick) but the bookmarks are laminated in a thick covering. I wanted them to feel more substantial.

I've heard from a few people that Magnolia Cafe is the place to go if you're only going to one place.

The idea is that once in the vicinity of the venue, we will get together. I've looked at a couple of places and will make a suggestion soon.
That particular area is rife with restaurants, bars, pubs and coffee shops.
I could also do a text group to mass announce things. I would need each persons cell number.
Long story short, more info in the next 3-5 days.
this is a great place for breakfast... kind of quirky Austin. Kirby Lane Café is good to.
If you want old time dive great food... Star seeds meets that... but is off I-35 and not in the direct area.
hula is a fun river front restaurant... but more fun when it's warm and there's boaters and chicks in bikinis
not sure what you guys plan Sat. night... but if it's music/drinking....
the 6th street bar craziness kicks in about 9 pm (but is mostly college kids.)
of course there's hundreds of bars in Austin and most have some kind of Live or canned music... here's a couple of my haunts...
if you like variety The Saxon Pub will have a mixture of bands that night starting at 6pm until midnight...

I've decided. I'm gonna take a shot and hope that I can intrigue, Mr. King as the "Haven Fund" guy at TDT.Org and get him to sign a TCK. I have plans for a remarque, regardless, but we shall see. Say a prayer???
Anyone ahead of me in line feel free to mention the "Big Asshole with the "Yankee hat", in line who annoys the crap out of us for the HF every year is hoping you will sign an extra book for the HF"!! Can't hurt, right? LOL

Wonder if I can get him to sign my mist snow globe...
Still 6 days out, so really won't have a good idea until the 3 day forecast is out, but Saturday shows 50% chance of rain, but highs in the 50's is still shorts weather.
Turns out I can't make the event or any of them really... kinda bummed about it all... some personal things have come up... Anyway, long shot.... but if anyone can get an extra signed copy for me... I'd be forever grateful.. Peace
twas a gorgeous shorts and convertible top down cloudless day today! - if it will only hold on

Terry, may I ask you a small favor?
Can you make sure that when we meet for the first time that a "Scoobie-Doo Thong" is not on your person in any way, shape or form? I would be deeply appreciative if that were the case. Also. I do not want to know, in the least, what a "Scoobie-Doo" thong is or represents. Fair enough? LOL LOL LOL

oh alright... it's getting about time to wash that one anyways... I'll switch it out for my Mighty Mouse T-Back instead....just for you.
BTW...Thing has fully recovered from his nose surgery...doesn't look to bad. It was a malignant melanoma. The doctor said it's about a 50/50% chance of it coming back in some form within the next year (either on the nose , in the lymph glands or in the lungs - He said we'll just have to watch it closely . I'm thinking positive about it.
