Well as luck would have it, I just may be able to make it to Austin after all. No promises, but my Z buddy Gary (who went to Toronto with me) and I have been hatching a plan for us both to go...

My wife (with the prospect of getting rid of me for almost a week), has offered to use her frequent flier miles to get me a plane ticket. And in an incredible stroke of good luck, Gary has a brother who lives in Austin who says he would put he and I up for the duration.

So there is still plenty of time for this whole thing to fall apart, but I might just make it! Things to do before the trip:

Make sure my wife gets me a round trip ticket.
Practice my Y'alls.
Figure out how to keep Cliff and Gary apart, because the two of them together is probably trouble.
Listen to Degüello and Tres Hombres at full volume. At least twice.
Pack my suit and sunscreen for Hippie Hollow.

Brought it up with the wives this evening at dinner. Didn't cause any sort of negative reaction at all. Not sure how to take that. I'll pretend it's a good sign for now.   

Haven't driven to Texas since 1980 in '69 510. It's about time to do that again I think. 

Just read the first sentence again. I do not have multiple wives. That's just silly. Had Persimmon240 and his wife out for dinner.

But the army likes to send me into muddy fields at that time of year... if I'm not in Poland, Latvia, Ukraine or Mali by then...

I understand :ph34r:. It's a shame they can't be a little more understanding of a man's priorities... ;)

I'll likely have a right seat available for the run from the hotel out to the Oasis, experienced co-pilots are always in demand.
