Austin, Texas is a perfect choice for NASSM 2011. It's time to celebrate Texas style and the great state of Texas will provide for a foot-stoppen, no nonsense National Meet. As a sidelight, if the timing is appropriate, a Texas Rodeo would be loads of fun and show all the guys back East how it's done Texas style! Also, it's about time we gave the great members from Texas a time to shine.

I went to a Rodeo in Houston in 2009.
You really don't realize how big those Bulls are until you are up close.
I would not want to be riding one of those.

eliff, I went to a Rodeo in Denton, Texas 57 years ago when I was 12 years old! Used to work in my uncles restaurant back then during the summer time. When your 12 they really look BIG!!!

I miss nationals. I had such a good time. I don't care where it is. I'll be there.

Kenny, thanks for asking. snaponbob lives just across town from us. I will try try to get in touch with him. Slightly off topic, but it is fun to caravan to meets. I remember on the 2008 Southeast Regional Meet held in Lexington, Kentucky, folks from the Midwest, Kansas City area, met in Webster Groves, Missouri, near St Louis, where one of my sons lives, and we did a caravan to the meet. It was indeed a lot of fun. I'm thinking about trying to get a caravan set up for the 2011 National Meet to be held in Austin, Texas. I would not miss that meet for anything as we have relatives who live in Austin. It is a great City, and perfect for a National Meet. The drive down from Kansas City would be a blast. Anyone interested from the midwest, please hop on this.

I may start a separate thread later, as it gets closer to the event.

SWEET! If this pace continues til the 2011 Nationals in Austin, Texas, we might, could, should, maybe beat the all-time attendance record for a National Meet! Keep em' coming.

SHiNY · « **Reply #67 on:** June 28, 2010, 08:56:00 PM »

I am definitely considering it. However, it will take me about two days to get there. I'll need to make some fast friends along my route

DeepBlueGXP · « **Reply #68 on:** June 28, 2010, 09:28:36 PM »

I believe Mike will be coming too

Maybe I can start a train from the West... pick up folks along the way. San Diego, Yuma, Pheonix, etc... like a snow ball rolling down hill...

I'll be stopping in Richardson on the way down.

Brad Kenny · « **Reply #72 on:** June 29, 2010, 09:08:24 AM »

Wondering if there is an AUTOTRAIN to somewhere in TX from the east coast. That would be the way to go. We have one from NYC to JAX, FL. Hmmm... a day on a train, save mileage, save wear and tear, gas, etc. I am gonna have to look into this. More info to follow if I find something.

Critterman · « **Reply #73 on:** June 29, 2010, 09:17:07 AM »

Still a very hard days drive from Jax to Austin, over a 1000 miles. And the car train ain't cheap

Brad Kenny · « **Reply #74 on:** June 29, 2010, 09:21:57 AM »

Well so much for that idea... only can ship a car between VA and FL. Guess I proabably won't be coming. TX is just too long of a drive for me for a National Event. CT is a LONG way from TX.
