    Heads up, that the tickets for the FCA Ferrari F1 Reception are now available on the Hill Country Chapter website.

    This was a wonderful event last year.

    Thanks to Andy Fish, for putting this together!
    Got mine, go get yours!

    We may be interested in attending, but will have our race car drivers in training with us (ages 4 and 7). How "kid friendly" is this event? From looking at the website it looks like a pretty nice evening.

    Also, what's the deal with the Broken Spoke on Thurs?

    The FCA Reception is long SOLD OUT, as it's a formal dinner, capped at 200.
    ($175 ticket, too)

    I always start by meeting up with anyone interested, but instead of The Spoke this year (see the new movie "Honky Tonk Heaven" about the venue), JD McPherson is going to be at the Scoot Inn, on Thursday.

    I will check and see who is at The Broken Spoke Friday (after the Country Club party) and on Saturday.
    Would love to see you guys!!

    Let me think about something fun for the kids......The 'Belle', LaSalle's boat, discovered in Matagorda Bay is on display at the Texas State Museum, in fact the building was built, to house it. Other exhibits are there too.

    The Spoke is just my normal Austin hang out, live music by great bands, cold beer, and pretty girls that may, or may not know how the dance.

    Both kinds are fun.

    I might be down there for practice, if I get a hotel room for the night it might be in Bastrop.

    Not just seafood, but I recommend Roaring Fork's cedar plank salmon. Their sister company is Eddie V's, which is primarily seafood.

    If you want an awesome seafood restaurant that isn't classy at all, but has been around for many many decades, check out Quality Seafood on Airport Blvd (no where near airport, but was near old airport).
