Thanks, Margo; I'll check it out. We're at the Baymont Inn on Mercury Drive. Is anyone else staying there?

Eileen, if you will be leaving from the Festival for dinner, it would probably be best to just leave your car there and ride the shuttle bus to the Hyatt drop-off point. It's an easy walk around the corner to Don Petron's from there, and you can catch the shuttle back to the convention center. If it's raining (?), you can walk through the Hyatt's lobby and just have to cross Smith Street to get to the restaurant.

I can't believe Houston is two weeks away! I am clapping my hands in eager anticipation. I can't wait to meet all of you. I am making my shopping list: just looked at my supply list for my classes (should I bring my fabric or buy it there?) and putting a pedicure on the to do list before I leave...my toes might want to wiggle outside my shoes when I sit and take a coffee break.

Clara, I was hoping to say thank you in person for all the work you did on the exchange, but you might not be there, so I will say it now in this post instead..."Thank you!"

See you all soon!
Barbara

I am hopeful I will be going. It is still up in the air, but right now it is looking pretty good. Think positive and hope to hang out over dinner. Thanks for participating! Everyone made that event so special. Thank you.
Clara

Hi all,
I just Googled the restaurant and it's about 10 blocks from the convention center. We're not staying at one of the hotels nearby; is there a dress code for our dinner? We'll probably be going straight from the show.
Speaking of that, is there ample parking by Don Patron's?

Eileen, this is a very urban restaurant with no parking at the door, but if you Google the downtown area you can see that there are several parking lots/garages an easy walk from Don Petron's.

If you are staying downtown, but just not at one of the closer hotels, I understand that cabs are easy to get and that $5 will take you anywhere in downtown.
If others are staying at the same place, consider sharing the ride!

That is so gracious of your friend! What a wonderful savings that will be for you! And, I just found out Sherry Boquist (Montanagramma) and I are on the same flight out of Salt Lake! Houston here WE come!
