It looks like Rita screwed up everyone's plans! And it was a no-show here in H-town....

Aren't you glad you didn't have to sit in a car for tens of hours driving to and from Austin (not to mention all the gas money you would've had to spend) !

I am glad you and your family were safe. Did anyone show up for your Hurricane party?

Just checking in to see if we were going to give this a try this Sunday.

I called the Bob Bullock IMAX theater: Fighter Pilot: Operation Red Flag is slowly being transitioned off the program. They have only one showing this Sunday. It is at 3 pm and lasts 45 minutes. Here is the description:

Hold onto your seat! Fighter Pilot: Operation Red Flag follows the true story of 30-year old Captain John "Otter" Stratton as he undergoes strenuous Red Flag training at the Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada. Capt. Stratton takes his F-15E Strike Eagle up, up and away to practice dog-fighting tactics, aerial acrobatics and perilous mid-air refueling maneuvers. During training, the skies above the Air Force Base are abuzz with aircraft of practically every make and model, including German Tornados, B-52 bombers, Israeli F-16s, British Harrier jump jets and Canadian E18 Hornets. The roaring of the powerful engines comes to life through the IMAX Theatre's 44-speaker digital surround sound system; and the six-story-tall screen puts the audience right in the cockpit of the F-15 Eagle as it pitches and rolls across the sky. Fighter Pilot: Operation Red Flag offers a behind-the-scenes look into what it takes to put together a modern air force mission, and also what it takes to become a "top gun."

If this is of interest to anyone, my suggestion is to meet at the theater at 2:30 - 2:45 pm. The theater is located at 18th and Congress. Directions can be found here:
http://www.thestoryoftexas.com/plan/direct.shtm
Parking under the theater is $5, but free in the parking lot across the theater.

After watching the movie, say around 3:45 pm, I suggest we head over to the 360 bridge for some photos. After the shoot, maybe around 5pm, we could go to Dave & Busters for some fun and food.

Of course, I'm just suggesting here. You should propose the final program.

You've blown the cover of my secret conspiracy. And I was going to make so much money from those commisions. I must confess that Dave & Busters is also giving me a cut from their revenue. Hahahaha.

Since this seems to be a healthy gathering of Austin folks ... I have a question.

Is there anyone in town that can tune my ride? I hear a good ECU tweak will help me utilize all my bolt-on's.

He may be referring to SGP racing?
