San Antonio Tour Stop

As we pulled into the Longhorn Cafe, I was reminded of the old sci-fi classic "Dr. Who". The restaurant looked incredibly small on the outside, but expanded greatly once you entered.
We had a sizeable crowd of 30 to 35 Libertarians. A number of them quickly signed up to be candidates. We had two guest appearances by Congressional Candidate Jim Strohm and Gubernatorial candidate Jeff Daiell.

Kerrville Tour Stop

Pat and I got up early this Saturday morning for a pleasant drive through the Hill Country to Kerrville. We arrived a little early, so we visited the Guadalupe River and scouted a potential convention location.
We had a great audience in Kerrville. They are very eager to form an official county party. They started a meetup.com site and they will be meeting monthly.
We also had a reporter from the Kerrville Daily attend our event. She wrote a nice story about us.

Brownsville Tour Stop

On Sunday afternoon, we visited Brownsville. Fred Drew, Cameron County Chair did a great job landing three or four local newspaper mentions. Many of our guests at this event had read those articles in the newspaper. There was one strange twist, I had never seen a Denny's with a private meeting room, but they do have a nice one in Brownsville.
