[Texascavers] UT Grotto New Years Eve party
The New Years Eve party for UT Grotto and friends will be at Bill Mixon's, 14045 North Green Hills Loop, Austin, Texas 78737. Google knows where that is. Don't let the "north" fool you; the address is actually in northern Hays Country. Call (512 288-4991) or e-mail if you need directions. There should be enough parking in the yard if used efficiently. Dark-thirty till its over. It's not really meant to be supper, but bring whatever food or munchies you want to, plus beverages appropriate to the occasion. Hot tub is promised, and if the weather is decent there will be a bonfire separate from the hot tub. There is plenty of yard or floor space for those disinclined to drive (or incapable of driving) home in the wee hours. If you stay over and can't function in the morning without coffee, bring your own. -- Mixon Lead me not into temptation. I can find the way myself.
