Default Parking is the key

We would like a place to park our rigs, where we can get to them anytime, and a place for the Cobra display and nightly socialization.

I agree with the change regarding the tailgate parties, so are we saying Sat is a "banquet" that will be funded by the attendance fee? And that individuals or local clubs are on their own for Thurs and Fri nights? I could imagine the local clubs convening at particular restaurants, for instance.

I don't have an issue with other conventions there if we have our parking solved. Little, tall, even Corvette people .. we can all be polite Nothing the little folks did had any effect on us.

Sammy,

Parking to us is a big issue. We know every one wants access to there rigs and equipment. That is an issue we will need you guys to help us come up with a proper solution.
1. Idea If they can gaurantee security at the Target Parking lot for the trailers and then beef up security at the hotel parking lot could be a solution. Just thinking out side the box here. We won't know until we meet with the hotel.

Concerning the Banquet. Our thought is to do away with the THursday, Friday and Saturday Tailgates. And holding just one big Banquet on SAturday Night. We can conduct our yearly meeting and have a nice meal. We have plenty of great video's to show. (Right John!)

I also will be in touch with the Austin Convention Bureau to see what happens when we out grow San Marcos.

Hope this helps.
