My thoughts on this are numerous but I keep coming back to the fact that we need more events like the one in Austin. If we move our anniversary date, it will take the place of what could be another event somewhere else. My vote is to keep the same date for the Austin Anniversay(with the below changes) and let Houston, Dallas, or San Antonio host an event in late March or April. I don't know about you guys, but after last weekend, I'm ready to do it again SOON!

CHANGES-
Although the date in Feb. is risky, it really does mark the beginning of the driving season in Texas. This year, the turnout was huge. More cars, more people, and more bigrigs. Some of you actually came Thursday night and were able to partake in the best weather of the year on Friday afternoon. Adding another day to the event would do a number of things for us:

- more time to spend with people (most important)
- more time to take care of business (hard to get in the meeting, group meal, cruise(s), give aways, pictures, etc with so many folks to coordinate)
- a better chance of hitting beautiful weather to drive the Hill Country

So I vote to keep the same weekend, only add Friday to event. The hotel has already agreed to come down further on their price if we were to add Thursday night to our reservations.
