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
  • Eddie V's is mile and a half, too far to walk WARNING: downtown austin has a lot of one way streets maps.google.com/maps Thanks, I'll get back to you in the a.m. Meeting my travel partner at the pool this evening for a final pre-travel swim. (Walking distance, need a cab?) Ande- Any idea how far this restaurant is from the swim center? We're staying at the Double Tree Club by campus.
  • Eddie V's is an EXPEN$IVE steak and seafood place count on $30 - $75 per person Glad to see that Fort picked a nice place to pay off the first of her whiner debts! :drink:
  • make sure you order a nice cab the cheap end of the wine list should be around 50 bucks a bottle Glad to see that Fort picked a nice place to pay off the first of her whiner debts! :drink:
  • make sure you order a nice cab the cheap end of the wine list should be around 50 bucks a bottle Gotta do something with those tax rebates! Besides, I didn't pick Eddie Vs; it was a group consensus. We're saving the serious drinking for Sunday! Don't want to crash and burn the first night! :eek: Someone want might to help poor Mel-Fort out that night. He's whining about having to our-drink both Bob Strand and me. All that talk and bravado ... I've heard through the grapevine that Smith might be the same ...

And I thought you had let me off the hook and passed all responsibility for drinks to the other whiner, John. How's his cold, BTW? I'd prefer to dine a bit earlier, I guess. But some of us who aren't latent distance swimmers are flying in Thursday afternoon.
