mos2111 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I plan on tent camping AWAY from the trailers, as the generators and late comings and goings might disrupt my light sleeping. Now to look up directions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrt53 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 It would be better to pitch your tent with the trailers, as there is strength in numbers. I would hate to see you go off by yourself, and lose you to the wild hogs or zombies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I run the thing it will shut down just after the shooting stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cripple Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Can someone get from stage to stage in a car? I know we are allowed to drive to each stage, but I'm asking if the conditions will allow a car, rather than a truck or SUV, to be used. We only have a car and Id like to spare the $300 bucks it takes to rent an SUV if I can, but Ill spend if the range conditions merit such! BTW...In lieu of any 'if it rains' answers, I'm planning on renting one anyway if the forecast calls for it! I just want to know if it can be done dry.. Thanks in advance!

Ben You can, just gotta be careful. I found a couple of hidden obsticals out there last week when driving around and the grass is a sort of tall right now so some stuff is hidden.

vsound Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Okay, now for the important question: who's got a good recommendation for a steak house reasonably near the hotel(s) (I'm staying at the La Quinta, but it's close to the match hotel)? After a long match day, the steak and beer is the thing that puts the icing on the cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a long match day, the steak and beer is the thing that puts the icing on the cake. Sodolak's Beefmasters - bar none. Of course you could probably find a better steak at Eccell Steakhouse of The Republic, but at Sodolak's you won't have to spend $50 to get it. The steaks (chicken fried included) are great, the cuts are huge, and the price is right. They just opened up a new location on University, but I haven't been there yet. The ones in Bryan and Snook can't be beat though. How can you say no to a place called Beefmasters? I believe it's on the North side of University Drive between the La Quinta and the Hyatt Place.
