The meeting that we had planned on for tomorrow has a problem. Bill Miller's, where we planned to meet, is back to not allowing people inside for dining. I was told this today and have no time to find another location.

I think we will need to postpone the meeting one week until I can find another location. I will be hanging around the Bill Miller's tomorrow in case someone does not see this message.

I'm good for a breakfast in Comfort sometime, or maybe Kerrville (Del Norte is a great place).

I can see moving the location around the area if there are enough interested people. I don't think we could get out to Comfort, but maybe back to the Boerne/Fair Oaks Ranch area again.

we had a good meeting on Saturday. I enjoyed meeting Dave and his wife and Jay kept my wife laughing at puns and other jokes.

So, I will be there next month, but we will have to change to the second Saturday. This year the first Saturday is January 1 and I don't trust them to be open on that holiday. But Bill Miller's in San Marcos is still the planned location for January 8th at 9:00 a.m. Looking forward to seeing anyone who can make it.

Just a quick reminder that our first breakfast meeting is this Saturday at 9:00 a,m, at the Bill Miller's in San Marcos on IH-35 at the Centerpoint exit (#200).

But I am going to take surprise_i'm_armed' suggestion from the other thread. I think we have enough interest to at least start a meeting.

So, how about the first one is Dec. 4, 2021 at 9:00 a.m. at the Bill Miller's in San Marcos? The exact address is Bill Miller #76, 3928 S Interstate Hwy 35 San Marcos, Texas. That is the corner of Centerpoint Drive and IH-35 on the southbound side. Take the Centerpoint exit (#200). If southbound, you will see it on the side of the road just before the intersection. If you are coming northbound, cross under the highway and you can cut through the convenience store lot to get into Bill Miller's lot. We can decide at this meetup if we want to change the location or time or even split it into one for Austin and one for San Antonio.

I will give fair warning though. If you show up, be careful. The outlet malls are right across the highway. I am sure some of us have passengers that might come along for that and it could get to be a very expensive breakfast.

Well, I like the 9:00 start time. I am one of those guys who thinks any day that starts with an a.m. is already off to a bad start.

But 9:00 also gives us more time for the driving without anyone getting up way too early.

Thanks, that lets that one out.

I like the idea of San Marcos to New Braunfels. I live in Luling, so I can get to either of those fairly easily.

There is a Bill Miller's in San Marcos, an IHOP (that might be a little harder to get us all in a group), the Rudy's in New Braunfels. My son suggested maybe the Cafe on the Square in San Marcos, but I have never been there.

Any other ideas for places?

This morning a few of us met for breakfast in San Antonio. It was a one time thing spurred by my joking in the Dallas meeting thread that I would love to go but it was a bit far for me to drive. Dallas has three different meetings monthly for the various parts of the Metroplex. Houston has a monthly meeting also.

One of the questions we talked about this morning was why we do not have a meeting in our area. The meeting can be for either the San Antonio or Austin areas or by picking a good location between them, one meeting for everyone in both. A late breakfast (9:00 a.m.) on Saturday appears to work for the other areas, but we could do a lunch meeting or later too. We could pick a specific weekend, like the second or third Saturday each month. Obviously, no one would be expected to make every meeting. And no one is expected to necessarily eat at each meeting (a restaurant with group tables like Rudy's is handy to get us all together but you would be welcome without eating if you did not want to).

Is there interest in this? Which weekend works best for anyone interested? What locations do you all suggest? Let's figure this out and get together.
