2010 TCC Spring Meet 25-27 March

[jdean]

Gregg,

You guys are starting early!! Good move on doing away with the tailgate events. They were great but we are getting too big for them IMO. I am sure any hotel would rather us not do it, not that that is the deciding factor.

Doesn't mean we still cant hang out on the parking lot.

Ditto on the tail gate parties. San Marcos was a great venue...I know the hotel enjoyed having us. From the hotel's perspective, there were an awful lot of little people in that convention center....do their cars only take half a space? (Ooops, should not have said that) If not, I understand the hotel's concerns.

I hope San Marcos works out for 2010.

Gregg and Dee,

Will the dates coincide again with LPA District 8 Spring Regional Meeting?

John,

The dates have not changed. It was changed a few years ago to the last weekend of March unless Easter happens to fall on that weekend. I hope this doesn't ruin your plans.

I'm not that short.

Greg and Dee,
I sure trust you guys to make the right decisions regarding the venue of our annual fling! My input, not news to you I am sure, is that PARKING is the main reason we left RR, and the best thing we liked about Embassy SM. We would like a place to park our rigs, where we can get to them anytime, and a place for the Cobra display and nightly socialization.

I agree with the change regarding the tailgate parties, so are we saying Sat is a "banquet" that will be funded by the attendance fee? And that individuals or local clubs are on their own for Thurs and Fri nights? I could imagine the local clubs convening at particular restaurants, for instance.

I don't have an issue with other conventions there if we have our parking solved. Little, tall, even Corvette people .. we can all be polite Nothing the little folks did had any effect on us.

I thought the little people were great! I had a drink at the bar with one guy. He was hilarious!
I think we all want parking lot time to socialize with other groups. We don't have to eat all at once, or together.
As long as Larry brings the gas powered marg machine i'll be happy.

Sammy,

Parking to us is a big issue. We know every one wants access to there rigs and equipment. That is an issue we will need you guys to help us come up with a proper solution.
1. Idea If they can gaurantee security at the Target Parking lot for the trailers and then beef up security at the hotel parking lot could be a solution. Just thinking out side the box here. We won't know until we meet with the hotel.

Concerning the Banquet. Our thought is to do away with the THursday, Friday and Saturday Tailgates. And holding just one big Banquet on SAturday Night. We can conduct our yearly meeting and have a nice meal. We have plenty of great video's to show. (Right John!)

I also will be in touch with the Austin Convention Bureau to see what happens when we out grow San Marcos.

Hope this helps.
