To Watch or Not Watch

Wanna get drunk on a weekday?
Wanna get drunk on a weekday for a reason this time?
Wanna watch the State of the Union address tonight?

Nah, me neither, but I did find this cool drinking game for those that want to simultaneously vomit in terror and vomit from Tito's.

And for the responsible set, BINGO!

For the first time ever, I've actually gotten responses from ya'll before March. Yea you, you are indeed the Person of the Year.

So mark your calendars:

Pedernales Falls

As in past years, M and I will reserve two sites and get there early Friday to get the best sites.

Camping 2007

You know, I never noticed that the year coincided with the number of times we've been doing this camping thing.

Since it has been established that the arch-camper Mel-a-rific will indeed be in the country* for camping this year, we again try in vain to get an early consensus on where and when.

When: The weekends of April 14, 21, 28 look best so far. Weekend of April 7 is Easter, so that's a no go. We could do it earlier, but some people don't like to be cold.

Where: I heard a lot of talk for a place near Austin for this year, so here are the only two real choices:

Pedernales Falls (which gets my first place vote)
McKinney Falls

Then there is also the nearby places we've already been:
Enchanted Rock (drive-up this time, I swear)
Inks Lake (this time without everyones favorite jester)

There is also a more comprehensive list of the camping spots in Central Texas

And of course if anyone knows of any private (but cheap) campsites, speak up!

So please leave comments here as to your preferences. And please send this post to as many people as you'd like.

*This will be Mel-a-rifics last year camping with us as she is going to be stationed in the Philippines with the Peace Corp for the next 2 years
