Draft watch party
Just checking in to see what everyone is doing to watch the draft. I have went to the first few Texan Draft parties, but now that we pick later I find it hard to hang out there. I have watched from the comfort of home the past few years flipping between ESPN and NFLN.
I was thinking of going to Nick's Place to watch this year. Thought it might be cool if the board members could get together somewhere.

My son has a baseball game where I'm the asst head coach. Starts at 11am... ugh. Our local little league obviously does not have the NFL draft in mind!
 Getting together sounds good though even though I'm not sure I can make it, at least for the start. Any place with free wi-fi and free refills/cheap beer/good snacky foods would work imo.

I am supposed to meet a couple of my friends at Nick's so that is where I will be. I'll drop you a PM with my number and if you can make it buzz me and you will know who to look for.

Keith, unless the Texans trade up, you probably won't miss their pick. Expect the first round to take 6-7 hours and we are in the middle so our pick probably won't come up until about three hours into the show. That should give you time coach your son's game, go home, and still have a chance to go somewhere and watch the Texans make their pick or trade down.

Plus, doesn't the draft start at 2 this year? I think they were talking about that on the radio earlier this week. Figure 8 or 9 minutes a pick, which should put the Texans at about 3:30 or so. Not enough time for you Keith?

Keith. The draft doesn't start until 3pm this year so I doubt you will miss anything.

If Keith will commit, I might just drive down from Austin to do this. I'm still mulling it over, debating whether I want to drive down Saturday, stay overnight, take in an Astros game on Sunday and then drive home. Gas is still cheap so I might just do this.
Do we know if Nick's will have the tv volume up? I'd hate to be there and then have to listen to 1560 or some live band while we squint at the ticker on the tv screens to find out what is happening. If there's a trade, how will we know what it was?

Okay, things are coming together. I think I ought to be able to get there about 2:30pm, maybe sooner if stuff falls into place. Either way, I'm planning on being there. I called Nick's, and they said they had free wi-fi, too. I'd hate to leave the forums high and dry!

I am planning on getting there about 1:30-2:00 or so. Yes, I'll hold a spot for you and if Bob is going to come, then I'll be sure we get a place for him as well.
You received my PM? Give me a call when you are on your way, and I'll tell you who to look for.
