24th and 25th I thought. 26th is sunday and would most likely be travel day for most.

From emails you have sent out the number is typically at least 25 people?

Is there any interest in ordering RBWG glasses?

it is looking like we may need 2 of the 15 passenger vans.

I wanna add this to the events today. any suggestions on the itinerary?

Ok - I’ve done as much as I can with the info I’ve been given (which is none). It seems the cheapest way to do this is to rent a 15 passenger van from a place like the following:

http://www.cappsvanrental.com/reservations

The rate to rent for two days is $259 + tax. Not sure what all kind of taxes you have in Austin, but if you fill the van, that would probably be around $20 - $25 per person after tax for both days.

For the larger mini buses where they supply the driver, well they were quite expensive, $1,125 for a 12 hour rental. That’s $45/per day if you can fill it.

Much cheaper to rent the smaller van (or multiple vans), but the drawback is you would need a designated driver.

I guess one of the organizers (are there any?) can take it from here.





It appears that the van rental place is closed on Saturday.

pick up on friday the 24th though... drop off on the 26th, sunday would probably just be a key drop.

1) where does one find day by day itinerary?

2) will it be okay for me to join in for a singular place? (willing to pay a fee) just do not have time for full deal.
