Daughter has a 3 day softball tournament, coming in mid-day on Thurs, Nov. 5, leaving early on Sunday the 8th.

Goat says he'll try to get together (as long as no hitting will be involved). He thought he'd try Wheel as well.

If anyone's in the area, let me/Goat know. There will be a lot of my time spent by the diamonds, but would like to meet with some folks on the boards.

Yeah.

The hotel is close to the airport, nowhere close to the fields. I didn't reserve the room. It was our lovely team travel coordinator. I've volunteered to take this responsibility next time, as there were some complete f-ups. We're leaving so early on Sunday, we can't play any games. That means we don't get to have some coaches/scouts look at the girls that day, nor can we play the in the bracket play side. That's kinda the reason why we're flying so far and spending so much money. Now it's just a 5 game friendly.

Not that I'm bitter.

Much.

But, if y'all are available Thurs, I'm good with hooking up. I may have to coordinate with the kid, but it sounds like she'll be spending all her time with her teammates; and I'm just along for the ride.

Sounds like Arlington would be the place....want to try for Thursday night?

Here's the link for the tournament website:

The home page (http://www.eliteshowcase.net) does not show times yet, but it should over the next few days, or at least I'd think so.

I'll also be at the Plano fields Friday and Saturday, in case someone wants to meet there (or close to there).
