I will do my best..... hangover permitting! Might not be able to do the whole tour.... but if I do.... and you guys want to walk north a bit... we can go on the roof of Cambridge Tower.

I think Paulsjv’s idea is perfect, we meet on the roof near the play scape located on the second above ground level at the southeast corner. The forecast is to be a little chilly but otherwise beautiful. I’ll give Kevin a call in a couple hours to see if he plans to make it. If anyone has a trouble finding us, please give me a call on my cell 512.426.1041. See you on Sunday at 11am.

Sounds good Ill be there.

Mopacs · #24 Posted **Dec 16, 2007, 3:14 PM**

Hope you guys have fun. Not likely that I can make it this time around. Ironically it looks like you'll have the biggest turnout yet. If you guys go to the top of 360, I'll be kicking myself!

greenbelt · #25 Posted **Dec 16, 2007, 4:01 PM**

I think I'm finally going to make this one! See you on the roof top.

MichaelB · #26 Posted **Dec 16, 2007, 4:25 PM**

Is this meet up happening? Heading over....!

paulsjv · #27 Posted **Dec 16, 2007, 6:07 PM**

I was there around 11:45 so I must have just missed you guys.

Jdawgboy · #28 Posted **Dec 16, 2007, 7:56 PM**

MichaelB · #29 Posted **Dec 16, 2007, 8:58 PM**

Kevinb · #30 Posted **Dec 16, 2007, 9:14 PM**

My pics from the meetup. Very sunny day, which is great for walking, but challenging for photos. I hope I got all the names right. It was lots of fun!

Another shot with a bad picture of me, Priller, on the right. This is why I stay behind the camera:

Spring is coming along. One part (looks like parking garage) is about at ground level.

Great shots! You make us skyscraper dudes look totally cool. Bummer I couldnt be there, but oh well. There will be other times. I'm sure Greg was the ultimate tourguide... he always has been. Cant wait to see the rest of the pics.

You know what I think I heard you guys out side my window of my apartment around the time you are talking about. DAMNIT! I would have love to gone along.

In case you were wondering when you guys went down the alleyway that had the bamboo I live in those apartments and my place is the one with the Ron Paul sign in the window.

Ha, yeah sorry MichaelB, you gots to be quick on these forum postings, which usually I slow as hell.

Great meeting everyone today and what a fine day it was in Austin, Texas. Here's some of my shots, the other horizontal camera didn't take (I'll figure it out before the next meeting).

You’re too kind Mopacs

Great turnout guys, thanks for coming. Maybe we can do another one of these in April/May after CNU XVI. Those picks are wonderful, thanks for sharing.

Well, I’m off to ponder…
