I'm unfamiliar with the geography of Texas, so could someone please tell me where Grapevine Texas is?  In particular, how far from the Houston area is it?

it's definitely NOWHERE near Austin

Just think Dallas.

And that half and inch on the map between Austin and Dallas is not just a 20 minute drive. :mad: :mad: :mad:

The Con is going to be in G-R-A-P-E-V-I-N-E T-E-X-A-S which is not spelled A-U-S-T-I-N and yes we can arrange for the short bus to pick you up from the airport so you'll feel just like you are at home. :D

Think LEGEND.  This year, maybe you could fly out to LA and then drive out with Funked and Karnak!  :p

Nifty,  Austin is South of Dallas about 3 and half hours (sometimes more, sometimes less,  depends on traffic, weather, and how many  DPS patrol cars are on the prowl)
