Meet up 2014

**Trade Winds** · 06-18-2014, 08:17 AM

The last time they closed, I checked and they opened before the date they'd suspected (it's posted a couple pages back). Myself I would wait til like Friday, but that's just me. I don't really care if we stay at Krause both days.

Me and Mary Marine reserved a hotel- it's Fairfield Inn in Austin, altho I don't know exactly WHICH Fairfield it is. (if anyone is looking for a place to stay)

Depending, I may take you up on that. I'll just commandeer the corner of the room if I do.

**Trade Winds** · 06-18-2014, 10:32 AM

Whoops, I meant if anyone is still looking for a hotel in general. I don't think there would be space for another person. We chose the cheapest, so there's one bed and I'm bringing an air mattress.

**Mermaid Pickles** · 06-18-2014, 10:43 AM

Haha! Okay. Though, as I said, I commandeer corners. Anyhoo, thanks for the advice on hotel finding!

**LokiLove** · 06-18-2014, 10:51 AM

Okay, so Krause both days?

**Mermaid Pickles** · 06-18-2014, 10:53 AM

I believe that's the plan, unless Hamilton opens back up in the next few days.

**Trade Winds** · 06-18-2014, 11:08 AM

I guess that SHOULD be the plan. If Hamilton opens up then I'd like to go there. But to avoid confusion maybe we could just all meet at Krause for both days and say the hell with Hamilton lol

I have a room for rent in my mermaid studio.

Also I am born and raised in Austin and know all the good mermaid spots

**Firemaid** · 06-18-2014, 12:58 PM

My email is Maria@sirenalia.com if anyone wants to get in touch.

Opps I guess I wasn't clear Swamptail, but the hotel has two beds. Not sure how big your air mattress is, but we could probably squeeze Pickles in somewhere? It's the Fairfield Inn at 12536 North I 35 Austin, TX 78753.

Mkay! And I make wonderful pack mule. XD

Less than 2 day and 9 hours until the meet up!

Just to recap, Hamilton Pool is currently closed for swimming. The earliest it might open is Saturday. We planned to meet there on Sunday, but it looks like everyone would rather just meet at Krause Springs both days. If we still want to try for Hamilton I'll keep checking the website for updates and we can always discuss it on Saturday at Krause Springs.

I've been informed that Krause Springs is a big place, so we need to agree where we are going to meet, either the grotto or the waterfall. I've never been, so suggestions?

If we want, we can bring mermaid or swimming stuff to trade with each other. I myself have a Fin Fun monofin pro and some regular rubber swim fins I'd like to trade or sell for cheap. So bring your mermaid books, extra shell jewelry, random craft supplies, old swim goggles, anything you want to unload and we can have a trunk swap.

I'm not gonna bother to lug along my air mattress then. If you wanna stay with us, I am fine with that Pickles.

Kewl! I'll bring some crafty stuff, then!

**Trade Winds** · 06-19-2014, 01:08 PM

For a meeting spot, from what I can make out from this crappy map, why don't we meet north from the parking lot (where it says waterfall, grotto and natural pools) and then we can move accordingly from there once more people get there?

Hope you all have a blast! I'm headed up to Oklahoma for a burlesque competition so I can't come down but I've started a full time job again (actually my old one I got laid off from in 2011; they wanted me back!) and life is returning to normal so I hoped to be around a lot more now!
