    For the locals - I've got a room at a Comfort Suites just north of the intersection of I-635 and US-75. Is this a decent area, or do I need to pack the 870?

    Not sure, but thankfully on a weekend the commute should be doable. It’s a ways away.

    I'm not privy to the current signups, but their class sizes are generally closer to 10 than 30.

    Do it.

    Based on a quick google search for hotels in the area,
    There's a few hotels/motels near Dallas North Tollway and Beltline Rd that are at/under $60 per night. Embassy Suites near Grapevine Mall (north of DFW) and several hotels on the northeast corner of DFW airport are hitting in that price range too.

    Thanks! Found a place on Beltline. Bummer that I'll have to subsist on take-out, I was hoping to score some good BBQ.

    Hard 8 is 10 minutes east of the range on Beltline.

    You definitely won't be disappointed with Hard 8. Make sure you get some banana pudding.

    If you find yourself down in the hipstery Bishop Arts, Lockhart Smokehouse is solid. It's on the TM Top 50 list.

    Unless things have changed, HW 75 in this area is good. I have had many medical appointments nearby. But remember that proximity to 635 puts you next to much traffic. I have noticed when staying in hotels that none have security. With business being slow, the clerk may let you park in front. You might ask. He also might give you a room in the front and not in the back.

    I know Texas is full of great BBQ joints, but we went to train with DB back in November, and that’s where he recommend that we go, and it was amazing! A very cool place, and the ribeye was delicious!! Highly recommended.
