Last Minute Planning

We're trying to get everyone together Tuesday night in order to make sure we're all on the same page with daytrips. I have a rough schedule that I'm going to propose and I'll post it if people like it. We'll also send some people grocery shopping because we intend to cook or prepare some meals in the hotel in order to keep costs down.

Almost everyone is out of town or busy for the next few days. (Julie's in Houston, Robin in Arlington, Will in Dallas, Matt in Houston. Katie's mother is in town visiting. Tiff's recovering from strep. And I'm frantically working on my thesis and helping getting Austin Traveler Magazine to the printers.) I've told several people about our plans to get together but I forgot who I have and haven't told so I'm going to send out an evite again and use the function that lets people vote on what time is best.



Lastly, we found a new toy, courtesy of google. But I'll use an excerpt from Will's personal blog to explain that:

I'm pretty impressed with Google on this one: Google's Send-To-Phone. You highlight text on any webpage and click the icon on the toolbar. The text will then be placed into a text message(s) that you send to any phone number. The only problem is that you need to know the cellular carrier. But the really nice thing is that we can text directions to everywhere we go and have it on our phones. I need to get ahold of some walkie-talkies so we can communicate between cars when there might not be cell towers out there.

I like it when things are well planned out but sometimes I think I get too nervous when they aren't... even though I know they'll prolly work out fine. What do you think? Will we be able to pull this off?

Or will our lack of planning about who rides in each car be our inevitable downfall because so many of our friends have strong and conflicting musical tastes?
