Hey, just wanted put a thread out there for us Houston Texan bandsters.

I know I'm one! Anyone else out there in bandland dwelling in Houston or the surrounding area? Maybe we could have a Big O'l Texas Bash one day!

You know how us Texans like to do things BIG!

That sounds cool. Maybe spend Saturday night and leave to return home after brunch/lunch? What you think, Betty?

Where you gonna stay, Ginny? The Boardwalk Inn sounds nice, but maybe a bit pricey.

That would be fine with me Leatha. That would be a lot better than trying to drive it all in one day! We would have lots more time for visiting

I would love to stay on the boardwalk but I don't think they have any rooms available under $300 and that is to much but I will chech and I don't think there is any other hotels but if we stayed in baytown, clearlake or galveston we could find rooms but I will check again.

Okay there is no room for 3 people and the one for 2 is 129.00 a night so if yall want to do that one we can split up and see if someone else wants to share but I would like to stay in Galveston if not on the boardwalk because I love it there but it doesn't matter either way let me know.Who all wants to spend the night?

What ever you and Letha decides is fine with me! I'm easy!

I would like to stay with yall also.

I was just going to ask who else might be needing a room. The Boardwalk Inn has a three bedroom condo for 320.00, pricy but if enough people are going to split it several ways, it wouldn't be bad. I have never been there, so I don't know about where the Passport Inn in but they have a room for $59.00.

We need a headcount to how many are going to need rooms.

OOoowee, this sounds like alot of F-U-N! You know I'm in if there's fun involved!

I'm gonna go check on somethin. BRB!

O.K. I did a little looking around....

It looks like Kema and Galveston are about 30-40 minutes apart.(see map)

My thought are this...

If enough of us want to stay over a night why not get one of the beach houses on Galveston beach and split the expence? It would save us all $$ then we get to spend what $$ we do have on the fun stuff.

The beach houses range anywhere from $99.00 a night (sleeps 6) to $130.00 a night (sleeps 8) even if only 4 of us wanted to spend the night thats only $25-$35.00 a night! Compared to Kema @ $65.00 a night!

This is all just information here. What are your thoughts????

(Kema is by Sea Brook?)

That sounds do-able, if enough people agree to pitch in, I'm in!

Sounds good to me too!

O.K., we're talking about "just for the day", w/possible one overnight stay? Who's driving the furthest? Dallas? I think that's 4 hours from Houston. Taking 6-10 across Houston to Hwy 225 to Hwy 146 to Kemah is probably another hour (depending on traffic). Or going across Houston to I-45 South (time?), then another hour's drive to Galveston.

Again, depends on what time you're hitting the highways and how heavy traffic is. Friday p.m., lots of people heading out of Houston for the weekend.

I'm in Lisa that souns great I could try and be there Sat. at around 2:00 or so and stay till whenever on Sunday that sounds great so we at least have me (Ginny), Leatha, Betty, Kyleigh and yourself so even if that is all it is affordable. Can you do the reservations for us? Let me know if you need $.

I think we're talking Saturday, Saturday night, leaving Sunday. Right?

Yes Leatha, I'll call for details on the rental if thats what you ladies want to agree on. I don't mind paying for the rental then y'all can write me a check when you get there. We'll split the cost up in equal parts.

Also wanted to say that Galveston does have a lot to offer if y'all want to hang around in that area. I've looked up Galveston on Yahoo and seen some of the attractions they offer and they have a lot of stuff for people to do. I'm easy going and am game for just about anything just no homosexual bars please!

What I need to know is who for sure wants to spend the night in Galveston?

I need you to post your own reply please and tell us for sure so we can get a head count.

Also are we still talking about staying Saturday the 13th of November and leaving Sunday the 14th around noon?? Again im flexable and can do this just about any weekend y'all want to.

Hmm think that covers it, I'll wait for your reply now...
