Likewise Brian.  I always admired the activity in the Austin group but 
we are finally growing.  We had a good showing yesterday at the Live 
Green Fest in San Antonio.  A small event but a few potential new 
members and projects.  One by one, we'll get more on the road!

I got my big trike registered and drove it to this event.  Now I know 
what people talk about when you park an electric vehicle and a crowd 
gathers (especially at a gas station just for fun).  Even though it's 
unique looking, the main interest was that it was all-electric.  I think 
there is more exposure and interest generated by those with the daily 
drivers that are out on the road every day than at these events.  It'll 
be a snowball effect as soon as we get more cars, bikes and scooters 
commuting.  Keep at it everyone!
