2008 USMS Message Board Social in Austin at SCY Nationals

ande
2008 USMS Message Board Social in Austin at SCY Nationals :party2: We agreed we should definitely have a gathering so these will take place an hour after the last relay or around 6:30 ish Friday: Shady Grove www.theshadygrove.com Saturday: Moonshine www.moonshinegrill.com Sunday: Scholz www.scholzgarten.net 2 blocks from the pool (the closest bar) I'm thinking Friday or Saturday night to maximize numbers Where ever it is people can just pay for what they order We need to pick the Date Friday or Saturday which do you prefer? Time I think early would be better than later like around dinner time or maybe an hour - hour and a half after relays are done and Location: I suggest somewhere in Central / Downtown Austin that serves both beer and food. if we want to be outdoors we need to watch the weather that day Walking Distance from the Pool + Scholz BierGarten is very close to the pool also The last of the Austin Texas Beer Gardens, open since 1866, and the oldest restaurant in Texas , and two blocks from the University of Texas. www.scholzgarten.net + Brick Oven Pizza on Red River + Serranos on Symphony Square Red River at 11th is pretty cool short drive: + Shady Grove is very cool, www.theshadygrove.com + Iron Works BBQ is nice in a rustic way www.ironworksbbq.com + Moonshine Patio Bar & Grill www.moonshinegrill.com 303 Red River St Austin, TX 78701 (512) 236-9599 "Good American comfort food done well with a fantastic ambiance and great..." + Some where on 6th street Other suggestions Please chime in, let's settle this and have a blast Since I'm here I'm happy to see if we can get a reservation Let me know if you plan on coming so I can get a head count Ande
  • Hey, if anyone is around the pool late Thursday (probably 4:30ish) I could use a counter in the 1650 Right now I'm seeded 9th overall, so I'll either be in the next-to-last or last heat. My brother is seeded 51, and I'll be counting for him. I'll have to hang around anyway while he showers and gets dressed. With 2 pools, there really won't be more than couple/few heats between you. I'll try and track you down and see if you still need one on Thursday.

    Grace and I will definitely join in Sunday to have the wet T shirt drinking contest with Leslie. I may bring an airsick bag in case we overdo it! Wednesday night we are joining up with our Ford Aquatics buds and the rest of the nights are up in the air at the moment. We'll play it by ear and join the rowdy Forums group as we can.
  • just bring your friends to the events We're going to be hanging out at the bar waiting for a table we'll also need to decide whether to ask for a section or break away into 4's 6's 8's & 10's sounds like the board made other plans for thursday night so Hula hut is probably out though I plan to be there Ande The Hula Hut was veto'd by a VAP gridger. There are 15 of us eating at Eddie Vs on Thursday night. If you want to join, let me know. What time are we aiming for on Friday and Saturday?
  • So someone mentioned Kerbey Lane for pancakes in one of these Austin threads. I was just looking at their website and noticed there are a few locations. Is one preferred over the others? I noticed there's one right next to UT's campus, but then the "original" is on Kerbey Lane a couple miles from campus. I might be up for some pancakes on Thursday morning if anyone else is interested. Or possibly after the 400 IM on Friday morning.
  • Kirby Lane is great. My daughter took us there one of the times we went up to visit. She took us to the one close to the campus on Guadalupe. We were there for lunch, but I was very tempted to order pancakes.
  • kerby lane is great there's one on the drag around 26th So someone mentioned Kerbey Lane for pancakes in one of these Austin threads.

  • if swimmers are on relays I suggest we meet to eat 6:30 or an hour past relays but folks can arrive when ever and decide whether to get a big table or break into smaller groups The Hula Hut was veto'd by a VAP gridger.
