So, it's been a while, and a couple folks have been calling for another get-together to see if we can firm up this SG.
We'll meet Wed, March 5 at Mother Egan's at 6:00.
I don't usually do happy hour -- they're typically something like 5-7, right? I usually work 9-6, so I'm always get there just when things finish, but I'll shift my schedule for soccer.:)
If people want to get together earlier... then I guess I'll just have to go to work earlier!:)

Wish I could have joined you guys, but alas....Itīs a bit of a distance from Germany.

Great. I've put it on my calendar and should be there. Should we contact the Aztex and maybe they can distribute the info on their mailing list?

I think it'd be better to be independent. If The Liquidator bring half the people he brought to the US - Mexico viewing, it'll be a party.

I will have previous engagements, but I hope to join up from time to time as schedule permits.

I too would love to be there. But I'll be at the Texas Pro Soccer Festival that week. Keep me informed and I will try to make the next one.

I'll try to be there. We should all bring our laptops and post to each other from the bar.

I know it's not why we're meeting, but if ME's has FSC I wouldn't mind rooting for the Jamaicans to kick United's ass in the CCC while we talk out SG issues.
Actually, I don't have anything against DC, but you can be sure I'll be rooting for Municipal at 9, sorry fellow Austinite supporters of the Dynamo, but it's true.

The jealousy is rather unbecoming. :rolleyes:

I think you might be a week off. Both Dynamo and DC are in San Antonio for their first games in the Texas Pro Soccer Festival (http://texasprosoccerfest.com). (there you go, jhope, I just pimped your event;))
Looks like it's Milan - Lazio (http://msn.foxsports.com/id/7871438_37_1.pdf) tomorrow evening.
...maybe we can have another get together next week, and have our first SG Intense Disagreement :) (I'm rooting for both of them, Dynamo less enthusiastically, because the better MLS does in general, the better for US soccer).

I know. I can't help but be bitter though. I've been waiting for 12 years, though I haven't been an ardent fan all that time. And then you lot come along and get two free passes.

You're right. I'm off by a bit aren't I?

It'll be that much sweeter for ya when it comes. :)
Game is next Wednesday, so I imagine right after San Antonio they'll be leaving for Guatemala.

Well, it was good to meet those of you who came. And though we didn't get anything official accomplished, we did hear that it is supposedly down to two stadiums regarding where the Baby 'Tecs will play this season. Hopefully we will learn soon where, and it will be good.
Word is they are waiting to see where the eagle lands with a snake in its talons, and that will be our stadium.

Here's a crappy MS paint mock-up of an Aztex crest I did, obviously based on Stoke City. That's meant to be quetzalcoatl in under the "austin".

hm.
Hm.
Well, other than having to change it to just 'Aztex' instead of 'the Aztecs', it's a start.
How 'bout starting another thread where we can post our ideas?
I'm not going to be able to get to one today. As you can see, I'm just now at lunch at 2:30. Ick.
Regarding the 'SG meeting'... we're planning another get-together again next Wednesday to watch the DC and Houston games. Mother Egan's again, game starts at 7.
And, yeah! Cool to meet/remeet everyone! Now we have realworld names to go along with the BS handles.

Was a pleasure to meeting everyone at Mother Egan's last night. Though we couldn't come up with the SG's name, I felt that we made some progress to it.
Like Violet said, we're getting together next Wednesday. In fact we're planning to make Mother Egan's our regular meeting / hang out and perhaps our USL watching party on FSC when the season starts. That way we can study & scout our future opponents (especially Charleston Battery ;) ).
Also there are Aztex tryouts this weekend at St. Edward's (http://austinaztex.com/home/226058.html). Some of us are planning to attend on one of those days.

I'm having second thoughts about meeting at Mother Egan's Wednesday.
We five are clearly 'with it.' (Which is particularly embarrassing for me, as a musician.)
There's a small event going on starting Wednesday that, while it doesn't have any bands officially booked at ME's, has a tendency to spill over a vast swath of the city. So I called them, and while they aren't officially in That Event That We Forgot (how could we?), they do have bands booked starting at noon and going until well after the cows come home.
So, any other suggestions for our fall-back location? The one place I can think of is Bagpipes. We may have to wrest a TV away from college hoops fans -- but the Big 12 championship doesn't start until Thursday, so at least it won't be Longhorns that we'd have to try and wade trough.
Then again, maybe Northside Rovers would let us crash his place around the corner from Bagpipes.
