Since we're not having dance practice here in Bryn Gwlad next Sunday,
Star had the excellent suggestion that we might make a road trip to
the Shire of the Shadowlands (Bryan / College Station) for their
Sunday dance practice.

Due to the room reservation, the times are firm boundaries:
7 PM to 9 PM.

According to Google Maps, the distance is about 100 miles from Star's
house.  They claim 2 hours 5 minutes, but I dimly remember it being
faster when I was commuting for Bella Gioiosa.

Would anyone be interested in a road trip?  I'm thinking that we could
aim for a 4:30 PM departure from Star's place -- being near I-35 and a
major road, it's easy to reach and easy to get back to 35.  2 1/2
hours gives plenty of time to stop for a bite (q.v.), to get a little
lost in College Station, to navigate the parking and finding the
building, and such.

That would get us back at Star's at about 11 PMish on a "school
night", and everyone (except Star, natch) would have to drive home
then.

What I did was stop at a particular 50's-ish diner about 20 or so
minutes out and grab a burger combo, to go or to eat in depending on
whether I was running early or not.  The advantage is that it was near
my normal dinner time.  *I* don't have a problem with dancing on a
rather full stomach, or with eating their burgers, but other people
might -- and I'm not entirely sure of the exact location right now!

( http://shadowlands.ansteorra.org/meetings.php gives the location, BTW.)

Anyone up for this?
