[HPFGU-Texas] Crunch Time -- Let's get this thing planned!

[Penny & Bryce]

Hi --

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

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.
