Austin, TX Meetup

**msandoval858** · 02-02-2010, 08:49 AM

Gents,

A few of us here in Austin are considering putting together a meetup for wet shavers in the area or anyone who cares to join us. We hosted a gathering back in 2008 and had a great time despite the mistake on my part of planning on graduation weekend.

No specifics are planned yet, but we are shooting for Saturday March 6th. Depending on how many might be able to make, we're hoping to put together a lunch, maybe a chance to swap some shaving wares, maybe some razor honing discussions/demonstrations or whatever you're interested in. Definately open to suggestions.

Drop me a PM if you might be interested. We had a lot of fun last time and would love to make it better this go around!

**texbilly** · 02-02-2010, 10:53 AM

Mike, count me tentative!

**Spivey** · 02-02-2010, 10:58 AM

I'm in, if work allows. Sounds like fun.

I'm interested...

As we work on getting this planned I'll be getting more info out. We already have one vendor committed to attend and there will be some door prizes and other little goodies to share

**superspot** · 02-02-2010, 12:34 PM

sounds good to me

**Scorpio** · 02-04-2010, 09:07 AM

I'm in of course.

Just a hair east, too.

I think I could probably make the meet up.

I'd be interested in possible swapping some wares as well as learning from some others.

**teh tardnoggle** · 02-04-2010, 03:35 PM

I actually just moved back to Austin, and I just started learning my way around a DE. I can't commit for sure because I have a ton going on early march but it would be interesting!

would love to participate, but I am hosting a percussion festival that day

**Captain Morgan** · 02-07-2010, 01:28 PM

I will put in for a tenative maybe on this one. I have plenty of reasons to go to Austin but my wife may not want me to travel that weekend since I will be heading back to work a few days later. Plus, she is not real keen on 4 hour road trips.....maybe I can work this from a different angle though......

**msandoval858** · 02-09-2010, 08:21 PM

Just an update:

We're working on getting a location for the meet nailed down here soon. I am thinking that something like a BBQ joint would appeal to the wider audience.. and we have some good ones here in Austin that I think would be accomodating to us. Plus that will be relatively inexpensive for everyone. If you have suggestions, make them now!

I'm also working on getting another vendor involved that might like to join us. Last time we had a good turnout and everyone got to take home some goodies to enjoy. Hoping we can top it this go around.

Again, if you are interested in please let me know so I can start getting an idea of how many can make it.

**Spivey** · 02-09-2010, 09:59 PM

I've put it on my calender and so far, I don't have to work that weekend!

**Sullybob** · 02-10-2010, 04:54 AM

I'm not familiar with very many BBQ joints down town, unless their is a Rudy's downtown.

Rudy's get my vote for BBQ. I know its a chain, but I think its pretty good. A bonus is that they have huge picnic tables that can easily seat a lot of people.
