This thread is a compilation of info taken from the original thread. It's gotten so long it's hard to find info in it so hopefully I've pulled out the pertinent stuff.
The Scubaboard sponsored BBQ will take place on Sat., October 16 at the Backdraft Restaurant in Highlands. They are closing the restaurant for our private party from 4-8pm. On the menu is brisket, ribs, suasage, potato salad, cole slaw, beans, bread, pickles, onions, tea and water. The meal is free, tabs will be run for your drinks other than tea and anything else you may order. No alcohol is served but you can BYOB. There's a convenience store right next door. The gratuities will be left up to the attendees.
Please go ---->To The CALENDAR, look on Oct. 16th to sign up on the Calendar so I'll know you are coming. since the calendar only let's us list ourselves, if there will be more than yourself in your party, please post here and/or PM me with how many to expect.
For those of you with map programs, the address is 411 S. Main St., Highlands, Tx, 77562 in case you want to track the route from your hotel or the convention center. Don has posted maps from the Convention Center to the restaurant --->HERE.
For those of you still needing hotels, DiverG looked up some hotels and their rates from the surrounding area ....
All these hotels are in NW Houston and anywhere from 10-15 miles from downtown. I do not think these prices include our hefty hotel taxes of around 15%( I think).
La Quinta 11002 NW Freeway 11.0 miles 713-688-2581 $53-68/night
Super 8 Brookhollow 5655 W. 34th 11.0 miles 713-688-6800$38-43/night
Days Inn(West Houston) 9535 Katy Freeway 12.2 miles 713-467-4411 $38-42/night
Days Inn 7887 W. Tidwell 14.2 miles 713-690-1493 $44-69/night
These are some hotels in Baytown, 5 min. from the BBQ and about 20min from the Convention Center, all located on or within 1 block from I-10. I haven't called for prices but they are generally in the $40-80 range.

Don reported he's staying at the Homestead Galleria, as that's where NetDoc and SB Central is - a suite for $67 night. http://www.homesteadhotels.com/
We're going to need some of you locals to help serve as a shuttle service, especially any of you who will be at DEMA on Saturday. Pete will have a rent car, DiverG has offered but we still need more transportation so if you can help, please let me know.
This function is 3 weeks from today! Watch this thread for last minute updates.

It's a big board, and I don't mind meeting "future" members.
