Pre-race Pasta

Are people interested in getting together for a pre-race pasta dinner on Saturday, 14 Feb? I think we should make reservations sooner rather than later since it is Valentine’s Day in addition to the thousands o’ people running the marathon… After we get near-accurate headcount, we can send out a few restaurant options and we can take a vote. (We are consulting with Austin locals on Italian restaurants.)

Please count me and my sister Susan in for the dinner. At this point we don't plan on renting a car - so it would need to be in walking distance of the hotel.

I'm in too for dinner...though I'm currently reading a book that says not to eat a pasta dinner before the event. I'll decide if I'm going to follow that recommendation before Austin.

Count Jeff and I in.

I think it would be a great idea.
We should also find a place for the post run celebration dinner too!

I'm all for pre-race pasta! What are the plans in general for lodging or ground transport? Barb mentioned a few hotel rooms have been booked but do I need to do anything for myself at this point?

I'm a maybe... yes if I actually make it to Austin, but not yet sure if I'll be able to go. So please include me in the reservation and I'll let you know if I'm unable to make it.
