Well, here it is!!!  The 2009 National Event Schedule 

[Hop45]

Mi Tierra is some of the best mexican food you will ever find and their margaritas can't be beat either. Dick's last resort was an old college hangout of mine as well. You guys will have a great time. I'm hoping to make it for at least one day, but probably will stay in galveston the whole time visiting family.

Looks good TCG

Yes, for those who have never been to places like these, it will be a time to NEVER forget

Is the haunted railroad crossing the one where the busload of kids got killed and your vehicle is supposedly pushed over the tracks?

Yes, that is the place.  We had a GTG that included it one time, I think we took 7 AVs over the tracks... It was WAY cool and it really works!

Heard of some people putting talcum powder on the back of vehicles and getting fingerprints from ghosts.

Hours on Monday are 9-6pm.  So leaving from our Host Hotel, 8:15 gather and 8:30 departure.  Thank you for the question 

So coming in from Houston, you could meet us there around 9am, depending on traffic, your way and ours 
OR depending on what time you get in town, you may want to drop your things off first

Thanks HUGZ and we also have a ton of stuff on our "points of interest/self guided thread"!

[amd1900mp]

It all looks like fun!

[trAVelingman]

What night are we going to Chuy's??

[Texascwgrl]

What night are we going to Chuy's??

I don't think working this in will be a problem.  I happen to know of 2 locations, both very close to my house 
It does not seem that there is a location on the river though.  So with that said, I would say, any day except Thursday would work.
