    The Renewable Energy Roundup (http://www.theroundup.org/) is being held in Fredericksburg Texas Sept 22-24.
    I would like to see if we can organize a Prius/hybrid rally on Sunday the 24th at the same time. There will be pure EV vehicles from the central Texas Electric vehicle club there as well as alternative fuel vehicles. It would be and outstanding event to show off to the locals and the media the support for Hybrids in Texas. This would be a great place to show off and share the mods to our rides to other owners as well as show the community that its not just another car.
    I can arrange a tour of a local ranch that has been setup with wind power, PV and other renewable technologies if any one would be interested.

    I'm going to be setting up the wireless internet access, live blogs and some live video of the event. Is there any interest here for such an event?

    Hi David,
    Our car is due in the week of 8/28. If all goes well we certainly would like to come. Is this being held at the fair grounds? A tour of the ranch would be very interesting. Shoot me an email if there is anything I can do to help.

    Count me in! I should be able to make it to the event. I will be driving from the College Station area and would love to be a part of a Prius/hybrid rally.

    Might be interesting..it is about a 5-6 hr drive from East Texas, but I am always looking for a good excuse to get to the Hill Country. I have been wanting to get out that way for awhile and this sounds like a great opportunity...just gotta check out the hubby's work schedule since he works night shift. Keep us posted!!!!

    Sounds like a great idea to me. I'll drive up from SATX for it. Especially, if it means I can hit "The Brewery" for a beer and a Reuben.

    Also, I'd love to get a tour of the ranch.

    Cheers.
