> Here it is! The First Annual
Texas ASC "
Herf on the Lake" is out of the
> starting blocks. So many fellow ASCers responded favorably to a
>
Texas-sized event that it started many of us thinking. And now, in the
> finest
Texas tradition of "bigger is better", the event has taken form.
> Following are the specifics:
> Date: Saturday, April 26 (the last Saturday in April)
> Where: Jones Park on Lake Travis in Jonestown (just outside of Austin,
> TX)
> Activities: From 12:00 noon-3:00 p.m.--there will be a get-acquainted
> mini-crawl to Cigar Palace (a great place located almost in the shadow
> of the capitol building) and other local shops in the area. After the
> crawl, everyone will travel/caravan (a map will be provided) to Jones
> Park on Lake Travis (off HWY 1431 in Jonestown) for a Texas-Style BBQ
> served up under huge live oak trees and cooked by one of the best BBQ
> men in Texas--Joe Webb of Alvin, TX. Joe has even promised some little
> "extras" that will make you "slap yo'self it's so good". Plenty (and I
> do mean plenty) of microbrewed beer will be provided by Gary Heyne of
> Space-City Brewing Co. out of Clear Lake, Texas and will flow until no
> one is left standing. (BTW, Gary just won the gold medal for his entry
> in the Great American Brewer's Association National Contest held in
> Denver last October. This stuff is GREAT!) Cigars, BBQ, microbrew,
> Texas music, the best springtime Hill-Country setting in Texas with
> boats, jetskis, Harley's and Roadhogs (are you getting this Barry and
> Don?) whirring around and we have what made Texas famous!
> Cost: $25 per ticket. Any leftover money will go toward the purchase
> of cigars to be given away for farthest traveled, door prizes, etc.
> Deadline for ticket purchase: We will have to hear from you no later
> than March 31, 1997 so we will know how much beer and BBQ to order.
> That should give everyone plenty of time to work out their schedules,
> make the room reservations, call up old girlfriends ;>) etc. BTW, take
> care of the room reservations as early as possible. The legislature is
> in session and the inns "book-up" fairly early. Sorry, there can be no
> refunds after March 31 since the order will have already gone in.
> Who: Any ASCer who has ever read or posted to the greatest newsgroup
> "they's is" and their wife or significant other. If the w/s.o. does not
> wish to attend the event but would like a day to play, Austin is full of
> springtime activities and places of interest that will be sure to
> please. Of course, if the w/so is also a cigar aficionado, so much the
> better! :>) No "beer wenches" need apply--that position has already
> been filled by Patti, my s.o.
> Places to stay: Habitat Suites on I-35 at Hwy 290. Very clean single,
> double, and triple accommodations with kitchenettes at very inexpensive
> rates, especially for those sharing expenses. It is where the guests of
> "Austin City Limits" stay. Sorry, the phone number is at my office but
> information will have it. The Hyatt and Radisson are great also but a
> little pricier.
> How to receive your ticket: Mail check or money order to:
> Dick Pewthers
> 807 Greenbriar
> Friendswood, TX 77546
> (713) 482-0554 (after 4:00 p.m.)
> Special requests: There is a boat ramp where we will be. If any of you
> would like to bring your boat and tour Lake Travis feel free to do so
> for a REAL Herf on the Lake. Don't forget about Hippie Hollow--Austin's
> local nudist colony and swim area on the shores of Lake Travis. I hear
> it really blooms during Spring. ;>)
> If you have a Harley, roadbike, or some other COOL vehicle this would be
> a great time to show it off!
> You will be responsible for providing soft drinks if that is your
> choice. We have no way of knowing what or how much to provide.
> Bring cigars for trading. This is THE perfect time to do a little
> arm-twisting and schmoozing with fellow ASCers. You never can tell what
> you will end up with.
> There are plenty of park tables but you might consider bringing extra
> lawn chairs if you don't particularly like sitting on concrete benches.
> Now, put down that cigar for a moment and make your reservation to
> attend the First Annual Texas ASC "Herf on the Lake" right now. You'll
> be glad you did! :>)
