As far as holding the TX TestFest, Dallas would be the most accessible for most people either flying, driving, pack animal, whatever, and still have enough of a night life for people to go have a blast after the lectures.
Not only that, we can hook up on some damn good food. BBQ for a night? Damn nice since there are several grass-feed Angus ranches nearby selling beef. IF we can all agree to that area, it will go down very nicely, I’m sure. Lets lock this shit in and start making it happen.

I see Rainjack ignored my noble effort to get him to pay for my expenses to the Tex-Fest…

You didn’t insult me enough. If you can get your limey-bastard ass across the pond, then we’ll see what I can do to get you to Texas.

You forgot to mention white and pasty as well.
As far as the debate on where to hold it, no one has mentioned Brownsville??? I thought it would be a great opportunity to cross the border and bring back a shitload of Mexican monkey test for swag, not to mention the opportunity for some late-night border vigilantiism to blow off some steam…

I flew over Houston once.
Looked like a great to place to go and die.
I vote for Cleveland.

AHHHHHH! Nothin like wrustlin up a few border jumping monkeys after a big 158 ounce steak to calm the spirit. And after that we can go steer tipping, it’s like our northeast cow tipping only the beasts are bigger meaner and have big horns. (all this must be done with a cowboy hat on and a peice of straw dangling from the lip)

Yes - Cleveland is a great place to die. Just look at the Browns. I rest my case.

Accountant’s never do get Internet sarcasm. Just another reason I avoided getting my CPA.
BTW, the Browns are just getting started.

You do know that Cleveland,Texas is actually a suburb of Houston

This would have been WAY more interesting if you were going to pay for Vroom.

i love this … people already in texas will go IF it is in one city or another. a ton of us flew from all over the country to DC, and you can’t drive to this thing? that’s the spirit!
and at this rate, you guys are still going to be picking a city for this thing in 2016.
whomever is in charge (is anyone?), quit screwing around, pick a city, and make sh!t happen.
as far as a date … Staley’s Area 51 Get Away is in October … a large number of we traveling T-folk are already going to that … so you better make it at least two months on either side of that
yeah, August, in Texas … perfect

Other than maybe you - who really wants to see that in real life? It’d be like a really bad combination of Queer Eye and Dr. Phil

taste of texas IS damned good … when in town, i usually am staying about 5 miles west of there and so get that big filet and veggies to go and eat in the hotel room before bed a couple of times … some papadeaux … some papasito’s … love churrasco’s and fogo … my employer pays dearly when i go to h-town 
how about papa’s? never been there
did someone mention del frisco’s double eagle up in big D? never been there but hear all kinds of greatness about it
T L&C sucks … i bet RJ likes it … oh wait, he lives in the boonies … so he just takes a fork and knife and walks off into the sunset until he finds a cow … they seem to get pissed off when he slices into that tenderloin while they are still alive … pansy cows
btw, we all know that cheese comes from happy cows, and happy cows come from california … what we don’t know: what else RJ does to piss off those texas cattle?
Dan
Where in Texas do you want it to be held, Danny Boy? Personally, I could give a shit where it is held. We could hold it at the Terlingua Convention Center for all I care.

I would expect a lot of testicle kicking. That’s always funny.
Seriously, I need a date and a location if I am going to come over from NEW ZEALAND.
I was hoping to combine this with Burning Man which is end of Aug/start of Sept but I need to know what to plan for/if it is possible.

You didn’t really just say that did you? I invented internet sarcasm. Ask around. Freakin Dan Fouts will try to take credit for it, but he knows that it was I who invented it. Me.
And I was about to take you serious until I read the part about the Browns ‘just getting started’ - then it hit me: You DO understand internet sarcasm.
[/quote]
Your statement lost all credibility the moment you mentioned Dan Fouts. I met that fuckin’ guy once and let me tell you I’d never go to a ‘Test-Fest’ again if for nothing more than to avoid him.
The inventor of Internet sarcasm? Well you blew it yet again.
Yes, the Browns are just getting started.
A start is also defined as to begin a course or journey (I looked that up in Merriam-Websters!). You’ll notice the word “begin” in there.
A beginning is a starting point (again using my crazy dictionary skills. Maybe I should have been a CPA, i’m sure there’s a lot of carryover into breezing through FASBs).
Next time just tell me you invented the Internet. I know a lot less about that.
