BBQ Dinner at The Salt Lick

Last year several the OpenG and LAVA members got together for some BBQ, and think that its a tradition worth keeping. This year we will be going to Salt Lick BBQ, where they pile heaps of BBQ'd meat on your plate until you say stop -- literally, since it's all you can eat! So here's the plan...

Cost: $13.95 (US) per person

When: Thursday night 7:00pm
Thursday is the best night for going to dinner, since Wed night from 5pm to 8pm is the advanced user group (LAVA) meeting & meet the experts night (or whatever they're calling it this year). After dinner we can mosey on back to 6th street (I'm practicing my Texas-speak) for the NI Week After Dark event at Buffalo Billiards, which runs until 10:30pm. At this point we can drink free beer and brag about how much better the BBQ was in comparison to cold-cuts and nachos (you'll see what I mean).

Where: Salt Lick BBQ
18001 FM 1826
Driftwood, Texas 78619
512-858-4959
Office # at 512-894-3117
Visit their website for directions and a Yahoo Map Link

Please RSVP ASAP, by emailing me at jim@jimkring.com. I need a head-count so that we can reserve seating space. Again the cost is only $13.95 (US) per person.

I have gone to the Salt Lick just about every NI Week. It is a great time, especially with a bunch of LabVIEW geeks!

I would prefer to go on Friday night, however, as I enjoy the NI sponsored "mixer" at Buffalo Billiards. So, if anyone really wanted to go, but would rather go Friday night, look me up.
I should have room for 2-3 extra people in the rental car.
And yes, be sure to stop for beer if you want any. They do serve water and iced tea for those that don't need beer.

I noticed on the bottom of their menu onilne it says, "No separate checks - Cash Only - No credit cards".

So make sure and have enough cash with you.

Do we want to meet and drive out there as a group, or just meet out there. It's about 25 miles for those that don't know.

Here's Driving Directions from the Convention Center.

I highly recommend the Salt Lick. When I used to live in Austin I would frequently partake. Everytime I'm back in Austin for NIWeek I make sure to go. FYI--As I remember it's BYOB so I suggest filling a cooler with beers for those who are interested!

Regards,
Mark

I forgot to mention. This will be an informal dinner, so please bring your significant other, if they are willing to endure a dinner with group of LabVIEW geeks ;-)
