Amanda, Jim, Kelley,

Thanks for joining up.

I'm going to send invites to all the other Texans we've positively 
ID'd at lunchtime.

Love & Light,

HPforGrownups flags::

I'm so glad to see y'all here!

So far most of us seem inclined towards a central Texas meeting. 
Makes sense to me -- I believe we have several central Texas members
and the location is, um, central.  I'm afraid I'm a bit biased as I
love and long for the Texas hill country, so anything that gives me
an excuse to go there is a very good thing to me.

Please, y'all, chime in and let us know when and where you'd like to
meet.  And if you know of any Texans I've failed to invite join us,
please tell me so I can remedy that.

I guess we can also discuss the Texas school(s?) for Witchcraft and
Wizardry on this list.  I must say I was delighted that Texas was
recognized as an appropriate place for such a school!  

Love & Light,
*Elizabeth*

Hey, y'all!
	Well, I'm Sara, for those of you who don't know me, and I'm currently
living in the Houston area, though this fall I will be moving to San
Antonio. So if we hold off the meeting for a while, central Texas would
be a great place to meet.

Hi Elizabeth, thanks for the welcome.  I'm in SA, so a central 
meeting would be great for me. ;-)  Normally, my schedule is pretty 
flexible, so I'll let folks with more pressing time constraints 
debate when.  Family stuff would probably be the only thing that 
might hinder me from attending, but I'll worry about that bridge when 
we get to it.  I figure you guys got all the people in the main group 
file who noted they were in TX; I know that Marvin Long mentioned he 
is in Austin, and I -thought- someone mentioned being in Corpus.  I 
can't recall who this was, and to be fair, this might've even been on 
another list. <g>  (I don't think so, though.)  I'll search the 
messages for Corpus and see if anything comes up...

Hi y'all --

Quick message to say that I'm in favor of Austin over College Station
(Hook 'em Horns!).  :--)  But, I may not be able to make the
get-together in any case -- depends on when it is.  Baby is due to make
her appearance any day now.

Allen -- I think I may have rejected you on Yahoo IM since all it gave
was your ID & not even a name.  If you want to retry it, I will accept
you this time.  :--)  Sorry 'bout that --  I just don't accept unknowns
on my IM friend list.

There is a poll re: locations within Texas over at HPforGrownups as I
recall.  I don't think we had any *current* West Texans last I checked
(although I qualify as I spent the first 22 yrs of my life out that
way).

I second Penny's Hook 'Em Horns!

I'd really be willing to meet anywhere, but Austin is my first choice, San 
Antonio or somewhere else (Fredericksburg, Wimberly, etc.) in the hills would 
be next.

As for when, I'm not available from mid-April through mid-June.  I wouldn't 
mind avoiding August (is there someway I can avoid it altogether?).

August is *miserable* in Texas.  No gettin' around it.  I'd be in favor
of the fall sometime if we don't mind waiting that long (or doing a 2nd
get-together in the fall).  Baby ought to be fully transportable by
then.  <g>

Somebody that had responded to me was in Lubbock. Is that technically
West Texas, or North Texas?

Babies are way easier to travel with when they're tiny than when they're
bigger, believe me.

I had kind of been thinking of a gathering around the time the movie
releases, actually, and make a weekend of it. We almost have to, given
that so few of us are close enough to day-trip. You know, cadge the
Driskill to give us cheap rates for a block of rooms, plan a couple of
group things, and see the movie en masse.

Whatch'all think?

I would call it West Texas, having lived there for 4 years.  It's also
culturally similar to Midland/Odessa.  The Texas Monthly site, however,
puts it into the Panhandle Plains area, which extends over to Wichita
Falls, Mineral Wells and as far south as just north of Midland Odessa
(which is the Big Bend area -- presumably the true "West Texas").

Message-ID: <9badvu+323h@...>

Hello all -- Like lot of people, I'm living a long way from where I 
grew up. I haven't been a resident of Texas since 1973, when I left 
to do a PhD in California. After that, I lived in LA and NYC before 
settling in North Carolina. 

I guess it would be a wild chance if I was ever around to attend a 
scheduled get-together in Texas, but I'll be in Dallas to visit my 
mother in late May or early June. I have a lot of family in the New 
Braunfels area, and a couple of cousins in Houston.

Well, that's all about me, except for a request: does anyone know 
where I can find instructions for real pit-cooked BBQ and a recipe 
for "authentic" BBQ sauce? The stuff they call BBQ in North Carolina 
is the "pits" <pardon the pun>.  The best I've ever had came 
from "Luther's" in Odessa in the 1960s.

MOJO!

Howdy to you, Jim.

Once a Texan, always a Texan, right?  So we'll forgive you for sending 
yourself into exile! <g>


When your plans to come to Dallas firm up, please let me know.  I'd like to 
buy you a coke, or perhaps something stronger, while you're here.

As for your request:
 
<< does anyone know  where I can find instructions for real pit-cooked BBQ

Carolina

I can come up with something, including my grandfather's bbq sauce recipe, 
but I may need until tomorrow.  I've always cooked my brisket on a very 
pit-like barbecue grill and IMO there are two main tricks to it: 1) use good 
meat; and 2) cook it *slowly*.  It's all a matter of getting and keeping the 
fire at the right temperature.  I'll look around for something more specific, 
though.

The best I ever had was in Muenster, also in the late 60s.  Y'all all know 
where Muenster is, don't ya?

Kelly,

I'm actually an end-of-October Scorpion myself.

Allen,

Are you Scorpio or Sagittarius? 

This is actually getting slightly spooky! <g>

Meeting to see the movie is a great idea!  If I'm still in Texas then 
I'll make an effort to make it down there or across to there, I might 
be moving to a different part of Texas which really doesn't matter 
b/c I might be in Bard, Mass, just for the school year.  My mom 
doesn't want me to go though so I'm just waiting and seeing, first 
things first I got to send in my info and then hopefully get 
accepted.  Well anyways, are Texas summers really horrid?  I come 
from the Northwest and moved down here at the end of the last summer 
so missed it.

Yes.
Completely.
Some days it doesn't suck for as much a fifteen minutes, give or take a
few.
I totally agree with whatever Civil War general it was who said if he
owned both Hell and Texas, he'd live in Hell and rent out Texas.

time it was for several days. and once it was 118. but hey it was still a
cool 100 in the shade.

It's not the heat, as they say, and it's not a coincidence that both Humidity and Houston start with the same letter. 

There are other hazards, too, in the central Texas summer. I remember July 4th fireworks at Landa Park in New Braunfels. It wasn't *too* uncomfortable sitting on the grass after the sun had gone down, except for the inescapable swarms of teeny white insects (what *are* those @#$%!! little things, anyway?). It was quite a memorable event when one went up your nose or decided to play a solo on your eardrum. You hoped that if (when!) one went in your mouth, it would go straight down your esophagus -- better to swallow it than to have it buzzing around in your lung.

Ah, but it's hard to beat memories of mellorine - root beer floats, roasting ears fresh picked from the field, or the University Tower glowing Orange on a still-warm October night.

We had some Tornado Warnings tonight, and strangely enough, it wasn't 
the kids I had to comfort, it was my own mother. Even after living in 
Texas for 25 years, she's still a New Yorker at heart, and is scared 
to death of "these damn Texas storms".

Welcome everyone who just joined us, as well!  We are now up to 15 members.  
Great work, Amanda!

Anyone who hasn't voted in our polls, please go to:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPFGU-Texas/polls

and vote!

Austin in November is currently topping the poll.

We need to come to a decision fairly soon, so we can block hotel rooms and 
work on a group rate.  

Ryan is in Austin and volunteered assistance.  Anyone else want to help 
organize?

Whee! Newbie post. (I should write a generic one of these for every list I

second book came out here. Besides HP, I like anime and critters (live with 
2 corgis and a temporary cat, who is hopefully going to her new home this 
evening. Right now, she is helping me type.)


I put my votes in on the poll- either up here in Dallas, or in central 
Texas. If we want to meet in central TX and people are willing to 
camp/BBQ/cookout, I can volunteer my grandad's farm as a meeting place. It's 
about 25 minutes off of I-35, 3 hours from Houston and 2.5 hours from 
Dallas. We have a lake, camping spots, showers/etc (we have a house out 
there, it's just not big enough for more than about 4 people to sleep in.. 
^_^), horses, and is a Good Place for gathers.

At my new job, today my supervisor's boss had hailstones in his Coke. He
brought them in from his house, where he has a freezer full. They are
larger than golf balls. He had a few, he said, that wouldn't fit into
the mug he brought those in. His neighbor had a hole put through the
roof of his new RV. So your mother definitely has a leg to stand on,
here.

sure how much time she'll have anymore (I'm definitely *coming*, I just
meant other stuff).

P.S.--We need a logo for our "Sweetwater All-Stars" T-shirts, you
know.....wanna run a contest?

I'm not sure about San Antonio- never driven from there (I've got family in 
Houston, so I knew how long that took), but it's about an hour and a bit 
from Round Rock, if that helps. (Drove from RR to the farm after a flyball 
tourney back in April.) I mean to go down there next week for blackberrying, 
if anyone wants to go along, it's much more fun with people, and someone 
else could give an unbiased report.

Hi y'all!

Looks like Austin in November won, although some of us are up for additional 
meetings as well.

If we make it a long weekend, we could include Cait's grandfather's farm for 
a day or afternoon or something (and meet her corgis!).  And Cait, I'm sorry 
I couldn't go pick blackberries with you.  I love blackberries.  My dad used 
to grow them in our backyard and they totally took over.  Our golden 
retriever ate more of them than we did! <g>

Getting back on subject ... I could use a volunteer or two to help with 
calling Austin hotels for rates, checking out restaurants, etc.  I can do a 
lot of this myself, but my little charity show has gone into rehearsal, so my 
free time is a bit scarce for the next 5 weeks.  

Speaking of my charity gig .... if any of you are in or near Dallas during 
the week of June 20 and want to spend an evening laughing at lawyers and 
legal assistants making fun of themselves to raise scholarship funds, please 
let me know!

Getting back on track again, IIRC the movie opens November 16th.  The 
Longhorns don't play football that weekend, so we shouldn't encounter 
difficulty with reservations, etc.  I must admit I am a little sad, as I 
would have loved to go to a game that weekend as well.  

Amanda, great suggestion re: T-shirts!  We definitely need a Sweetwater 
Allstars logo.  Any artists among us?  

Hope you are all doing well!

Love & Light,
*Elizabeth*

Yes, Lyda is a Texan. A Houstonian (sort of) right now, but I'll be 
in Austin in November, which, of course, coincides perfectly with the 
plans to meet which I have just now inspected. 

What have I missed? When do any get-together plans become solid? I 
think I've posted to a few of you over on the main list, and I'd look 
forward greatly to being able to meet this group in person... :)

Hi Lyda,

Thanks for joining us! We have just gotten started planning, so you haven't 
missed anything.  We did hold a couple of polls to determine when and where 
most of us wanted to meet and it looks like Austin in November won.  We 
haven't made any definite plans so far.  

I'm looking for volunteers to help with phone calls to hotels for group rates 
and for ideas of things we can do in addition to seeing the movie and talking 
HP (and places where we can eat and/or drink while talking HP).  

Love & Light,

It seems to me that Texas is a very important wizarding area, since we
are the main exporters of horned toads to the rest of the world, and
they seem to be used quite a lot. It was actually a thought of mine that
Muggles are finding horned toads difficult to spot these days, because
there are magical preserves for them now.

In any case, I think a horned toad should figure on the T-shirt somehow.
Or on the logo of the San Jacinto wizarding school. Shall I look up the
old archived messages about the Texas wizarding school debate?

Hi Amanda,

I like the idea of including a horned toad in something -- as long as it's 
not purple! <g>

Thank you for your offer to check the archives on our previous discussion - I 
would appreciate that very much!

Do ya'll want a "logo' t-shirt or a crest? Cause I can do either? off the 
top of my head... um...


Hmm. How about:

sable per chief gules, a horned toad or at chief above three bluebonnets 
azure.

Anyone can correct my blazon, please do? I think bluebonnets would be 
lupines, heraldically. (In english, that would be a black shield with a red 
top bit (the top 1/4 or so) which contains a golden horney toad standing and 
three bluebonnets in the middle of the black bit. I'll draw it later and 
stick it up. I'm not sure that blazon's right, particularly describing the 
positioning of the charges (the horned toad and the flowers. I *hate* 
ordinaries.) Hmm. Actually, give me half an hour and I'll think fo a better 
one.

All right, I do have a little design sketched out; it's simple, but 
looks nice, IMO-- star, snitch, Lumos font-- but I can change. You 
want horned toads? We can do toads. :) Cait, are we going to work 
together, or work apart and let everyone else vote in a poll or

How can I get a picture to post on the list, anyway?

Okay, Austin in Nov it is. The question is--who lives

through there on the way there? I can't drive and
other than taking the bus, I dunno another way to get

Well, this is completely relative as to when in Nov. we meet. If we 
meet after Thanksgiving, then I might be able to arrange to help you 
out; I imagine I'll be driving back to Austin from my parents' house 
in the Houston area after Thanksgiving. But if it's *before* 
Thanksgiving... well, I'll already *be* in Austin, so...

Wait for definitive dates, and I'll see what goes down. :)

No, no, the arms of the honorable Jacinto school of wizardry are vastly
different from the logo of the Sweetwater All-Stars. We need two things!

Someone needs to write a press release or something--I'll do it, if
someone can tell me who the movie and/or celeb writer is for the
Statesman, so they can do a piece about our list and our mass visit to
the opening, get our reactions or something. That way, perhaps we will
become a media event and some theater will give us passes to opening
night. Hmmm?

Looks great! But being an editor by nature, I even go for non-written
stuff, so here goes:

I'd make it a blue field so the star can be white--more recognizable as
Texas, no? Or do the "texture" thing with the lines down the center of
each arm and meeting at the center, for less flatness. Oh, and "swish"
lines for the Snitch.

Well done indeed!

Sable, a horned toad Or, on a chief gules three bluebonnets proper.

The only problem is your bluebonnets are very close to color-on-color,
making for poor visibility. You also can't put a gules chief on a sable
field, same reason. How about

Sable, a horned toad and on a chief Or, three bluebonnets proper.

You almost have to make the bluebonnets proper, because without those
little white dots they won't look like bluebonnets.

My bid for the arms of the San Jacinto School. I promise I'll find that
old message thread tomorrow, really.

Top 1/3, actually, especially if you have charges on it that are
oriented vertically like bluebonnets. And you can call them bluebonnets,
but it's appropriate to give the Latin nomenclature as well for that
variety, because lupine-type flowers come in a couple other shapes
(including a really long, weird-looking one we saw at the Grand Canyon).

> which contains a golden horney toad standing

Default position for lizardy things is on their belly--like you'd see
one in the road. When you say standing it sounds like they're up
somehow, not in the natural position. The term of blazon for this
escapes me at the minute. I can look it up later if you want.

> and three bluebonnets in the middle of the black bit.

Surely you meant the bluebonnets in a row on the chief? I'll sketch out
a couple thoughts tomorrow and scan them in.

Oh, why? How about a pall between three bluebonnets, overall a horned
toad? Something cool like that? Ordinaries are fun.

> Hmm. Actually, give me half an hour and I'll think fo a better one.

You're on. Wish I had more time.

Thanks very much. Points taken... I'll definitely try for the 
textured star look, and snitch swishes. I'll see what I can do to 
make the backround work with a blue field as well.

I usually put them on my geocities account and make up a page for them. Let

then we can collaborate on a final one. Does anyone know a good reasonably

OOh. Yours works much better. Thanks. I knew I was messing that up, but my 
books are all in storage (grr) and I can't get to them. (Yes, I can get to 
the HP books and the manga and my dog books, but not the heraldry and the 
history book except for the Black Plague book that I'm re-reading.. I have 
my priorities...)

Cait, going to go pull out the paints and draw this. I like the pall idea 
too, actually.. .let me go try both and see what gives.

Muchas gonzales, Jim. Even though the blue star looks a bit odd, I think
I like #5 best. The "texture" of the star makes it Texan enough, and it
needs the contrast.

Hi --

I'm really excited that we will have Sweetwater T-shirts!  I like the
last design by Lyda & am looking forward to seeing what Cait is
designing.  This will be so fun!

Amanda -- that's a great idea to try & get the Statesman to write up an
article about our group.  We would probably attract more fans too.  I
like the idea of some media attention .... and some free passes!  <g>

Re: Lodging.  I have no thoughts really since we have relatives/friends
in Austin and will doubtless stay with one of them.

I too am sorry there won't be a UT game that weekend (and it won't
coincide with Wurstfest either).  But, getting hotel rooms for the rest
of you should be easier with no game in town that weekend.

Yes, I'm inclined to go with #5 as well; do keep in mind, though, 
that these are just the pathetic graphic representations of colored 
sketches I already have... the blue isn't so odd and the snitch looks 
much more snitchy in my actual drawing, which I'd want to use anyway 
for a T-shirt, if we use my design. This is just to give you guys the 
gist, as I unfortunately do not have a scanner at my disposal.

I'm definitely still interested!

We do need to start getting hotel rates, etc. I volunteer to do some of it, 
but I'd love to have some help.

And I think it would be awesome if we had t-shirts by then.

As far as hotels go, there's a Holiday Inn Express on I-35 and 183 
that is reasonably priced and really quite nice. We stayed at a 
Clarion Suites this past go-round, which was only fairly decent and 
more expensive, so... I'd probably say the Holiday is a good bet, at 
least from what I've seen so far. :)

For food.... well, I haven't made it around to the food places yet. 
You've got your basics: Chili's, fast food, Red Lobster, 
Souper!Salad, pizza joints, steakhouses, Subways, and the like. In the 
University area there's an *excellent* place for Thai food. Of course, 
I am living in the dorm, where everything is within walking 
distance...

For the theater, I would absolutely reccommend going to the I-35 
Tinseltown that is across the river. It's large, of course, and could 
certainly accommodate us. :)

I'd invite you all to stay with me... if I wasn't already confined to 
a space smaller than my room at home, and sharing it with a complete 
stranger... :) On the bright side, though, I *did* manage to weasel my 
way into getting a parking spot, so I get to keep my car here! Whoo 
hoo!

Dork, I am. I forgot to reply to this. *sheepish grin*

Yeah, even if no one else comes down, *we* can plan on seeing the 
premiere! I get out of class at 4:00 on Fridays, I think... :)

I tell you, though, I have no intentions of seeing an evening show 
(around 5 or 7 or even 9 o'clock). You know the place is going to be 
*packed* with squealing little kids. How can I appreciate the subtle 
nuances of Rickman's Snape if I have to listen to the sounds of a 
thousand little 'uns? I'm planning on going to a late-night, or 
midnight showing, if I can. :)

Yo, Lyda, get me the name of the entertainment editor for the Statesman,
wouldja? I want to make us a media event.

We need to call a few hotels and ask about block rates; they're often
cheaper. And we need to see which theaters are booking the movie.

Will do, Amanda. :) I'll try to get it to this list by the weekend. :)

I'd imagine that almost every one would; it's going to be a 
blockbuster. But, I still vote for the nice Tinseltown; it's *sure* to

Hi everyone --

Well, I was beginning to wonder whether we were all going to get 
organized on this.  Here's my situation: we always go to WurstFest in 
New Braunfels in early November (it was our first date & we got engaged 
there in 1992).  This year, it is the first 2 weekends in November 
(pretty much always is).  If we go to Wurstfest *and* go to Austin for 
the movie premier, it will be 2 weekends in Austin back-to-back with a 6 
mth old baby.  Not sure if that is going to work out or not.  In any 
case, I haven't ruled out meeting up in Austin with everyone, but I'm 
not sure how either of us feel about either missing Wurstfest for the 
first time in 11 yrs or travelling 2 weekends in a row to Austin.  <g>

But, I'll chime in with some opinions in any case.  :--)

You *cannot* go to chain restaurants in *Austin*!! No, no, no.  There is 
way, way too much local flavor to go that route.  Mexican: El Arroyo, 
Chuy's, Trudy's, Serrano's, Fonda San Miguel, someplace on 6th that I 
never remember the name of, lots & lots of other good choices that I 
can't think of right now but will recall later.  BBQ: the Salt Lick, 
Ironworks, County Line.   General good food: Kirby Lane, Hula Hut, 
Magnolia Cafe, Threadgills, Hyde Park Bar & Grill, Z Tejas ... I'll 
think of others.

No, no, double no on anything chain in Austin, Texas.  There's just 
absolutely no need with the excellent choices available.  :--)

I haven't lived in Austin in over 10 years, so I have no idea on theater 
locations.  I would vote for something with Stadium seating obviously. 
My sister can give us some choices too -- she's a huge movie buff & 
lives there.  Also -- anyone else interested in seeing it several times 
in a row (assuming it's not a total flop that we true fans will hate)?

Hotels -- I have no real thoughts there as we have so many friends in 
Austin that I've never stayed in a hotel there before I don't think.

T-shirts: what's the progress on this front?

Message-ID: <9neq7l+dnq8@...>

Weeks ago I posted on the OT Chatter list that I was going to join the 
Texas group right then.  The only problem was that when I started 
looking for the group, I couldn't find it.  I went to the main Yahoo 
groups page and searched to no avail.  I glad that someone posted the 
links to the different regional groups to the OT Chatter list.  

I read through the most recent posts on this list and realized that no 
one has posted since August.  I hope someone checks in occasionally, 
because I would love to get together at some point.  My daughter, 
Marcia, who is a senior in high school and I had planned to get out of 
school early on the 16th so that we could see the first showing in 
Kerrville.  Who knows my husband, Marvin, might even take off early 
that day to see it with us.  He has also read all of the books 
(although just once).  

I drove all the way to San Antonio today thinking that I could find 
the October issue of Vanity Fair.  What a disappointment when I got to 
Barnes and Noble and found the September issue.  I am scared to death 
that they will sell out of the October issue before I can get back to 
San Antonio.  I couldn't even find an old issue in Junction or 
Kerrville.

I will check back to see if any of you have had better luck with 
finding VF.

I'm so glad to have found my HP neighbors.

Welcome, Prof. Phlash!  Glad you found us!  We are still planning on 
gathering in Austin the weekend of November 16th, so I hope you and your 
family can join us. I haven't gone searching for the October VF yet, but I'm 
sure I can snag an extra one for you.

Hi all --

Welcome to Professor J.C. Phlash!  I can't find the Oct issue of Vanity 
Fair here in Houston yet either -- maybe early this week.

Question: Nov 16th is a Friday, yes?  So, are we planning on taking off 
work/school/mommy duties or what have you to see the movie on Friday? 
If so, what showing(s)?  Does anyone know whether it will premier with 
morning & afternoon matinees or will the evening show(s) be the premier? 
If the first show is Friday morning at 11:30 a.m. in Austin, is this the 
one we want to go to?  Are there people planning to sit through it 
multiple times?  Does Saturday make more sense for all this?  If our 
group outing were planned for Sat, it might make it easy on me to go to 
the Fri night showing here with my husband & friends and then drive down 
to Austin for Saturday showing(s) with all of you.

I have a friend in Houston who is planning to come with me if I make it 
to Austin.  We had lunch today & were discussing some of the logistics. 
I will need to line up a baby-sitter in Austin or Houston, decide if my 
husband is coming ... in other words, make alot of plans.

So, I say we need to get organized around here.

T-shirts?  Did we ever design or decide on a logo for T-shirts?  Can we 
put the HP4GU logo on the back perhaps and then design something 
Texas-oriented for the fronts of the T-shirts?  I'm happy to take charge 
of acquiring t-shirts, collecting money & getting them made, but I 
cannot have charge of creating the logo as I have zero creative abilities.

That would be great if I can't find it.  I will probably go back to 
Kerrville (and San Antonio if needed) this weekend just to look for 
it. Don't worry about me unless I can't find it this time.  

This is so great to have "ya'll" here so close.  It is wonderful to be 
able to read all of the posts from around the world, but to have other 
Texans who are fellow addicts is somehow comforting.  There are 
several adults that I have talked into reading the books, and they all 
love them, but only a couple have gone back and reread them.  I 
sometimes begin to worry about myself - until I happen to walk by the 
computer.

I asked Marcia if she wanted to go to Austin.  She gave me one of 
those "Mom, hasn't anyone ever told you that you aren't supposed to 
actually go meet people from the internet?" looks.  My husband has a 
brother who lives at Roundrock. Saturday would probably work better 
for me if I could come at all.

The October issue of VF went on sale Sept. 11 (I daresay we all had

copies a week later--one to keep, one to cut the pictures out of and 
hang on the walls of my cubicle at work.

I am a new member from the Ft. Worth area. From what I gather, this 
group does some gatherings in the Austin area.  I have family there so 
it's no problem to make the trek down I-35. Look forward to meeting

Message-ID: <9p5ov5+smjj@...>

Hey guys,

I am a new member of the Texas group.  I noticed that there were some 
questions about theaters with stadium style seating in Austin.  There 
are two Tinseltowns, one on far N I35 (Pflugerville)  and one on far S 
I35.  By the S I35 Tinseltwon, there is a Regal Metropolitan that is 
nice.  In the Arboretum area there is the Gateway theater that is 
smaller, but is still stadium seating.  By Barton Creek Mall there are 
two theaters, a general cinema and a regal (I think) both are smaller 
than the giant megaplexes but have stadium style seating.  As for 
restaurants,  Absolutely Cannot Eat at A Chain in Austin!!!  Kerbey 
Lane is great, but didn't score too hot in the cleanliness.  Salt Lick 
is awesome, but quite a drive (Rudy's is a good substitute, I know it 
is a chain but it started in Dripping Springs TX, at least) Romeo's is 
good italian.  Katz's is a neat deli downtown, horribly crowded, but 
the BEST cheesecake.  Sorry for the length of this message, just happy 
to have found fellow Texan fans!

OK everyone! The movie premiere is a mere SIX WEEKS AWAY! So, we need 
to get organized!

1) Who's Going?: So, who exactly is coming to visit me? *g* Let's try 
to get an exact figure.

2) Where to Meet/Eat?: Well, I know that I have classes until 4:00 PM 
on Friday, but after that, I'm finished and can do basically 
anything. So, do we want to get together at, say, 6:00 or 7:00 PM on 
Friday? Are we going to meet at a restaurant? If so, where? I'll let 
you former/current Austinites decide on food places; alas, I am 
already resigned to cafeteria food...

3) What Theatre?: Thanks J. Franklin, for posting the movie theatres 
in the area! Do you have a specific recommendation? Which would be 
the easiest for us to get to and have a seat at?

4) What Showing Time?: PLEASE tell me that we are going to attend a 
late-night showing. I couldn't bear to have the subtle undertones of 
Alan Rickman's Snape ruined by a bunch of screaming kids with glasses 
and stick-on scars...

5) T-Shirts: So, are we going to do the T-shirt thing after all? What 
design are we going to use? I still have mine available:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPFGU-Texas/files/sweetwater5.gif

and I will try to get the colored pencil version scanned in ASAP. If 
someone has another suggestion, by all means, post it! Further, who 
is going to organize the T-shirts? I might be able to, but I would 
need an exact number of people going, and what sizes of shirts people 
need. And reimbursement, of course, when we get together; that would 
be nice, as well... ;)

6) Publicity: I couldn't find the email/addie for the Austin-American 
Statesman's entertainment editor, but this website might be useful:

Since we want to try to get special recognition, and all. :D

Hi --

I agree that it's crunch time!  I'm *not* a last minute type.


> 
> 1) Who's Going?: So, who exactly is coming to visit me? *g* Let's try
> to get an exact figure.

We may attend, but as I wrote before, it depends on alot of variables. 
Friday?  Sat?  Both?  Who all is coming?  I have quite alot of friends 
here in Houston who are wanting to see the movie with me, so I must 
confess that making a trek to Austin isn't necessarily holding the same 
appeal it had a few mths ago.  I can be swayed though if lots of us are 
planning on being there.

I *must* work out babysitting arrangements before I can say yes or no. 
If people weren't planning on getting together for an all-day marathon 
viewing on Friday but rather wanted to meet up on Sat sometime, I might 
be able to drive down to Austin on Sat & drive back (not a late night 
obviously!), leaving my daughter with my husband (who will be happy to 
be forced to see it once but has no desire to see it multiple times).  I 
will see it at least once on Friday, regardless though.

I hope everyone will chime in -- this group's been quiet.

If we do this: I can think of several good places to meet that are close 
in proximity to whatever theater we're going to.

In the last 10 yrs, I've noticed people refer to North & South Austin, 
and it makes a big difference traffic-wise.  For my part, I'd prefer 
South rather than North as I'd come in via Hwy 71 most likely and my 
sister lives south.

I think if we do this, we must have t-shirts.

I'm still planning on coming.  I am completely flexible and can come on

either way.

Can I pleeeeease nominate Matt's El Rancho? It's on Congress, I think- it's 
fairly nearish UT. If you haven't been there, it's a GREAT Mexican place, 
and I have been craving their queso dip for months.

Don't care, if any of them have stadium style seating, I *really* like 
those.

I vote for the midnight show, if there is one.

I never got around to making one, but with only 6 weeks, I doubt we have the

Hey guys,

I was reading the old posts for this group and found something about 
having press coverage and t-shirts for the possible meeting in 
Austin.  I don't want to offend anybody or hurt anyone's feelings, 
but I know that I would not feel comfortable coming if this is the 
case.  I do not want to spoil everybody's fun if there is general 
agreement that these are great ideas, but I thought I should post my 
opinions in case there are other people like me who would love to 
meet fellow Texan Harry Potter fans but without it being a big deal.  
I am just kind of shy and like to blend in.  The idea of people 
staring at me is terrifying!  I hope that I have not offended anyone 
because that is not my intention at all.

I voted in the "Are you going?" and "Do you want a shirt?" polls, but

day, I'm very flexible on that as well; afternoon or evening is 
better for me, but I can arrange to make it whatever the group 
decides.  From where I live in SA, it only takes me 75 min or so to

whatever works best for the rest of you.  Just let me know...  :-)

Looks like there's 6 out of 23 of us who would at least like to try to make 
it to Austin for the premiere.  

Has anyone heard from Amanda lately?  

I have to admit that I've had some mixed feelings over the past few days.  
Part of me is very skittish about traveling and also kinda depressed.  
However, I really want to meet y'all and I'm still excited about the movie.

I guess the polls on food, etc. haven't closed yet?

So, how are y'all feeling?  Any thoughts or ideas?

Love & Light,
*Elizabeth*

Rather disappointing, huh? I still want to get together with whoever 
is going to make the trip! It's not like I have to go anywhere. *g* 

The other polls are still open, but I'd thought that a week was 
plenty of time to get a good census of who is going to attend...

Hi gang --

My "yes" vote is, I'm sorry to say, turning more & more to a "no" vote. 
It was going to be a bad weekend to get away anyway due to some church 
commitments, and I'm thinking that with the baby, it will be far easier 
to get my in-laws to come stay with her on Fri night while we go see the 
movie.  Then, I can go with various real-life HP-interested (but not 
HP-obsessed) friends on Sat while Bryce stays with the baby.

I'm still willing to consider driving up to Austin for an afternoon 
matinee on Sat if there's enough interest, but I might rather spend my 
driving time in the theater seeing it over & over.  <g>

I'll watch to see how plans materialize ... but for now, my vote looks 
more like a no.  :--(

Oh, Amanda checked in with the Moderator/Elves group this weekend & said 
she'd been AWOL for awhile due to some real life issues.  I don't know 
how that might affect her ability to get herself to Austin.

Message-ID: <9pvde4+e6d6@...>

Hi everyone--

If, for whatever reason, the Austin get-together just doesn't work 
out, I'd love to see the film in San Antonio with anyone who'd like 
to get together here.  (I -am- planning to attend the Austin meet, 
but just in case it doesn't happen for whatever reason, I thought I'd 
make the offer.)  So, if anyone thinks they may be in SA at some 
point after the film opens and would like to see it, just let me 
know.  My schedule is pretty flexible and I'd love to meet other 
HPfGU-ers.

I want to go, I have just had limited internet access and messing with polls 
has been low on the list (drowning in email)...

On the other hand, I'm not sure I can find anyone to rat-sit for me if I 
spend more than a day down there. I have new rats (from Indiana) who are in 
quarantine and all my friends who I trust to rat-sit have rats themselves. 
Bou can come with me and have his crate in the car. I suppose I could do the 
same thing with the rat cage, but.... actually, that would be sort of fun.

Subject: Traveling to Austin
Message-ID: <9q07nl+ceaf@...>

My principal just announced that any 4th or 5th grade student with 100 
Accelerated Reader points by November 13 can take a school sponsored 
trip to Kerrville to see a special early showing of the movie just for 
our school.  Then she sent me a copy of the travel request (request 
for the transportation) where it listed "two aids from the AR lab, one 
fourth grade teacher, and Jo Crabtree."  Another fifth grade teacher 
that I got started on Harry Potter asked the principal what it would 
take for her to get to go. She told her that every student in her room 
had to have the points to go. She also tells everyone that you should 
have read all of the books at least twice. Now the other teacher is 
still reading POA for the first time.  It is exciting that she is 
hooked now.  She started reading them because I taunted her into it. 
Ah, the rewards of enthusiasm. I need to keep my students reading. How 
would it look if she got all of her class to 100 each and I didn't.

I had already promised my senior daughter that we would go together 
for the first showing. Now she is upset that I am going to see it 
before her. Junction is about an hour from Kerrville so we will see 
the movie about 11:00 then eat and come back to Junction. I will have 
to turn right around and go back to Kerrville with Marcia to see it 
with her.  I think my husband is meeting us there for that show. He 
works in Fredricksburg.

Although I would like nothing better than to see it again on Saturday, 
I'm not that sure I want to drive to Austin any more. I have to go to 
Austin this weekend for my sister-in-law's baby shower. I think it's 
about three hours from here. 

I've said all of this to say that I may not be able to come after all.
I want to keep it as a possibility but not a promise. It would have to 
be on Saturday if I could come.

I noticed that the poll is closed for attendence.  I'm not sure if I 
can come yet, but I will probably make it.  I noticed that someone 
mentioned Matt's El Rancho as a good place to meet.  I have eaten 
there many times and their food is consistently good.  Plus it is a 
big restaurant that would be able to easily acomodate a large group.  
Also it is in South Austin so it is close to the theaters on SI35.  
Just thought I would throw in my two cents.

I'll be there, I'll be there! My computer time right now is nil, though.

Question, All Ye Texans--if Sheryll really does trek down from Ontario,
braving the bus for days and days and days, shall we do a surprise
gathering for her? I'm in San Antonio, anybody want to get together for
her? This would (at last communication) be in the week of thanksgiving,
what, the 19th? 20th? That's real close to when we were thinking of the
movie gathering, so I thought I'd ask.

Also suggestions on what to do to a Canadian in south Texas, other than
feed her real barbeque and Tex-Mex....

The 19th or 20th, I can definately do. I'll be in Waco for sure the weekend 
after Thanksgiving for a dog show (trying for the first leg of Bou's CD, 
wish us LOTS of luck). Just, that drive twice in a week makes me go ugh.

Well, it's a nice thought, but the middle of the week is bad news for 
me, being it that I do have those darn classes to attend. :) Plus, 
there's the chance that I'll have to skip classes anyway that week to 
go home and appease my empty-nesting mother (who really should not be 
empty-nesting in the first place, as she has two other ones to keep 
her busy).

Saturday, November 17, is still a lovely day. ;)
