Jason Go/Ragsdale,

Either of you know the location and/or cost (per person roughly) of a place called the Hula Hut?

s

It's at the end of Lake Austin Blvd, west of downtown Austin.

No idea on price. Few times I've been there (went to Mozart's, a coffee shop next door), the parking was uber-shitty. Maybe it's better now?

Hula Hut's awesome!

They are a Chuy's restaurant (think Austin meeting 2 years ago). Parking/group photos may be an issue. They don't have much right in front of the restaurant, but there is plenty within walking distance. Prices are normal Austin casual (about $6-12 a plate).

Hula Huts cool but on a Saturday your gonna have to get there kinda early or the seating is kinda close quarters.

We were thinking 2PM

(Chuy's... was just there Sat night in DFW with Brian and Amanda)

s

hey, this is where I met a bunch of people when I first got here. I'm guessing Brian made the suggestion?? I'd be willing to go back, but why don't we BBQ or something? we don't have a house to hang out at?

Hula Hut was suggested mainly because I have no idea where to go in Austin. It is also in a high traffic area (which ties in to one goal, I would believe, about club meetings: exposure). We can go elsewhere, but it looks like, from the responses above, that Hula Hut would be a good place to go mid-day.

That being said, I am always up for new ideas and direction, and by no means am I the final say on where we hold a meeting. If you can drum up enough support to hold a BBQ at your place, someone else's, or a park and their is no major objection to it, let's go for it! (BTW - You wanna take charge of planning a BBQ if we indeed do one?)

s

I haven't been to Hula Hut since I cooped in Austin. And I know where the place is. : )

I eat lunch there a lot, it's on Lake Austin. Average dish is about $10. You have to park across the street for sure.

If everyone is fine going to the Hula Hut, that's fine with me, no need in planning something if we don't have to.

But if we want to BBQ, I don't mind doing whatever. It's up to you guys.

We could always eat there and then head to someone's house afterwords. I have a two player basketball net in my garage, and a big screen, and a PS2. We could watch Scott play Dance Dance Revolution *, and then send Tracey to the microphone for some Karyoke Revolution*. That's about all my house has to offer.

* both jokes by the way. we would all take turns of embarrassment

i might be able to make it if it for sure on 4-30-05 im off all week so i was planing to be in austin with family whats one night out on the town right. hope to see yall there

Let's do Hula Hut at 2PM, April 30, 2005.

Rudys BBQ in round Rock. Worst BBQ in texas and they have lots of seating.

Hula Hula Hula Hut!

Can you make it Chia? I know you work Saturdays, but your condition has always been 'if it is in town, I can come!'

s

not if its a hula hut. Way to far south. I am stuck working in round rock.

Hula Hut is my Favoriate Place in Austin, but there is not alot of room and its loud in there, but you could eat there and then have the meeting outside on the docks, or just down the road there's a little park with a boat ramp....
there is only 50 parking spots for all the resturants on the strip....I would suggest meeting else where....

i am telling you rudys country atore and bbq is the bomb. They give group discounts or we can order by the lb. Brisket, sausage, turkey, ribs, chciekn what ever u want.

I hate to admit this but I kinda agree with Scott. I am not that familiar with Austin hot spots but if the place has little parking, is noisey and we need to go into Ausin proper with it's traffic than why not look at Round Rock? I've been to Rudy's here and they not only have adequate parking but ours has a side room we could probably fill and utilize. I think they are all built about the same but not sure.

Just a thought but if it's just a get together than anywhere is fine. If we want some sort of meeting we may want to re-think the location.

What do the other Austinites think? How many form SA and south will be coming and have to drive through Austin to Roundrock? Us northerners hit RoundRock first

I don't care where we meet. As I stated, I am not from Austin, and someone mentioned Hula Hut was a good place to go. If we want to switch, that is fine by me. Chia post up the address for Rudy's and we can switch. BUT we need to post the info by tomorrow night.

s

Is the Hula Hut a bar or what? Mebbe some of us could go there after the meeting (if the venue were to change...)?
