Anyone in the S.A./Austin area let me know maybe we can car pool or something like that.Damn i'm stoked now!

I was hoping to attend this, but found out last night from the wife that the neighbor across the street wants to have a surprise B-Day party for her husband at some restaurant. Guess the frickin' surprise is on me!!!!

With the draft starting late I may miss the Texans pick now!!

I guess can DVR it, but it's obviously not the same.

I had to miss the draft last year and thought it was the worst thing in the world. But, in the end, it turned out to be not so bad at all - almost to the point where I wouldn't even mind if I had to miss it again.

The only drawback I found was that I didn't have as good of a grasp on what other teams did in the draft. It ended up taking a considerable amount more reading to really grasp what went on with the other 31 teams.

I'm about 80% sure I'm going. I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do with Sunday. I'm leaning towards Astros-Brewers but the part I hate is that most of the picks will be done on Day 2 and the talking heads are going to largely ignore them while regurgitating what happened on Day 1. So unless you are following the ticker, you don't know what your own team is doing.

So I'm going to sit at a sports bar and watch the first two rounds when important rounds like 3 and 4 will be missed which is where the good organizations separate themselves from the bad ones.

I'll be going up to the bar.So if anyone is going pm me your number and we'll meet and i'll my you a beer...

HPF Bob · #26 04-23-2009, 02:45 PM

Okay, i'm set for this. I plan to leave Austin around 10 a.m. so I can get there a little after 2 p.m. Whoever is the first ones there, tell the waitress/hostess that we are the "In The Bullseye Draft Party" so that anyone who comes knows where to how to find us. I'll be wearing a Texans t-shirt and a Longhorns cap (one advantage to being a guy is your clothes don't have to match).

texas style · #27 04-23-2009, 09:44 PM

cool i'll be wearing my Texans jersey with my last name on it MACKEY.Look forward meeting ya'll..

Sweet! Mine's dirty.

If I can remember to tomorrow, I'll bring some shirts with me in case anyone wants to hit me up at Nick's. I'm out of 2XL and small though... plenty of XL.

Unfortunately I won't be able to make it on Day 1. I have to be out at the horse track at 11 AM for the concert series. Anything going on on day 2?

Blitzwood · #33 04-24-2009, 06:15 PM

I'll try to make it by tomorrow. I'll look for the inthebullseye shirts, because I want one.

superbowlbound · #34 04-25-2009, 01:26 AM

I'm gonna try to make it out. I've gotta ush at a wedding at noon (that's what ushers do, right? ush?), and then hit up the reception. It should be a short ceremony (thank god), and it's a cash bar at the reception, so we'll see how it goes. I definitely want me a T-shirt, so barring me baggin a bridesmaid, I should be able to get there by the time we pick (or trade down!). I'll look for you guys.

HPF Bob · #35 04-25-2009, 03:56 AM

If the wedding cake tastes good, steal us a few pieces of that while you're there. I'm reading some very mixed reviews about the food at Nick's.

Keith · #36 04-25-2009, 08:36 AM

Alright, I have a small bag of shirts ready. First come, first serve! I am still thinking I'll get there around 2:30p.

I'm down to the last L, but I have plenty of XL. And small donations to the site are welcome.

Honestly, we're about $150ish in the hole, which isn't bad for a little site like this, but it'd be nice to build a cushion for October's semi-annual dues. Anyone unable to make it to Nick's but still interested in contributing, please click here for details on how to help and send me an email with any questions or concerns. Thanks!

Keith · #37 04-25-2009, 02:27 PM

Made it. Here with Mike, pk, HPFBob, and rooster!

Sent donation, Keith. Let's step up and donate, folks! Keith's put together a great site, which I'm sure consumes a lot of his time. Let's not make him absorbe the costs too.
