I will gather more attendees and will post when confirmed. Should be another 5-7 cars

[1st 5er]

Why not both?
I know Jen loves to drive.
Jacqueline, not so much, otherwise, we'd bring the T too.


P.S.
Are those room reservations made yet?
I'll update the list too with one more I got an email from who's made his reservation already.
Friendly reminder that rooms are limited at the The Host Motel, the Blanco County Inn,
and the back-up, the Swiss Lodge is limited as well.
Between the two there were originally only 23 rooms available, IIRC.

Looks like we just have ourselves some "out of state company" this year.

We'd better get busy tuning and cleaning.

And to set the record straight...

Turbo'd E28s FTW.

I will be there at some point. Not sure when I will arrive but I will be there. Since I'm within driving distance I'll probably show up on Saturday sometime since I won't be getting a room.

Go ahead and get the name on the list so we'll have a good idea on the number of t-shirts to order.

See you in Oct...

[mcm97]

Sherman - have you emailed Bernie to let him know about this event in October. It's just one more thing F1 will be planning around!

this is like 2.5 hours from my house, im a maybe though as my work schedule varies.

You can work anytime, this is a once a year experience. very much.

Where exactly is 2.5 hours from Blanco?
And, want to get added to our e-mailing list? E-mail if so.

[1st 5er]

2 more weeks to get the reservations in at the Host Motel.

For those planning to attend, you should be seriously preparing yourself for The Three Sisters.
Come and enjoy them and you'll have something nice to dream about later.

[1st 5er]

This is one of the post that was lost.

Glad I noticed.

Today is the FINAL DAY to get special rates.
And, ONLY 7 rooms left at the host motel.



For anyone wondering, when reservations are made, no money exchanges hands until after the event.
A credit/debit card number is needed to hold the room, but it's not charged until actual checkout, or
you can pay cash at checkout to avoid the credit card transaction.

I got a reminder email from Deborah, the Motel owner reminding me of the 31st August deadline to reserve the room at the $73.00 a night rate.
After that regular rates apply.

Here's a list of the available rooms.
Also, there are several weddings planned for that weekend in the area.
That's the reason the National Brand local motel wouldn't give us special rates.
Deborah has told me that they have been contacted about reserving rooms for these wedding parties but
she's informed those parties that these rooms won't be released until Thursday, 09-01-11.
From talking to her, and sensing the business woman she is, I'd bet she got names and numbers and will be calling some of those prospective renters back.

Even if you think you might attend go ahead and make the reservation,
you can always call and cancel or let us know through this thread and someone who procrastinated more than you will probably take it.
This way most of us will be at the same location.

Hey,

Cindy is curious about what wives will be doing and what other things will be going on. She has a friend who wants her to go out to Arizona. She likes the drives but if its gonna be all bmw all the time she might pass on the fun.

[1st 5er]

Not sure what Blanco has to offer if she decided not to go... on Saturday.
Don't want to spill all the beans, but Saturday will be away from Blanco, very scenic with lots of pic ops and interesting driving.
Sunday we're planning another local scenic and interesting stop, along with a great lunch spot prior to heading home.
Did I mention The Three Sisters?

[carnutdallas]

DAMN....I am out. Daughters 10th Birthday. I was so looking forward to it, but my Daughter has a big day of family fun planned. Was really looking forward to it. Maybe I can sneak down for Sunday?? Family first
