I hope all you guys and gals are going to NAHBS. There's interest in breakfast Saturday somewhere close to the convention center. Las Manitas downtown is closed. There are not great places downtown for a good casual breakfast, in my opinion. The closest places are a bit north, around campus, or south of the river. My picks are: A good breakfast get together would be at Kerbey Lane Cafe. The University location is the bigger close location to the convention center. It is at 26th and Guadalupe, just north of Univ of Texas Campus. On Saturday mornings there is a wait, and no reservations, so we need to get a head count, and then ask for a big table at a certain time, 8:30 or 9:00.
Kerbey Lane Cafe at University 2606 Guadalupe Austin, TX 78705 512.477.5717
Another great breakfast place is Trudy's Texas Star Cafe, also just north of Univ Of Texas campus. This will also be busy, no reservations.
Trudy's Texas Star Cafe 409 West 30th Street Austin, TX 78705 512-477-2935
A group will be riding from the north side to the convention center. If breakfast is not convenient, then we could consider a lunch later in the day at Texas Chili Parlor next to the Capital, Z'Tejas on 6th close to Lamar, or Magnolia Cafe on South Congress. I want to ride in the hill country on Sunday, if anyone is interested. Please voice your desires. We will see what works. Don Murphey Old Austinite, now in Fort Worth, TX

Hi Dale and All,
I know you (Dale) asked me about a breakfast location but I have to admit I tend to stay out of the center of town and can offer little in the way of suggestions. However I will keep the idea in mind in case a light bulb should suddenly illuminate! In the mean time I hope there may be ideas from other Austinites.
