Saturday the 30th is marginally better for me, but either is fine… I’ll go along with the will of the tribe. ---

I’m with Chef. Saturday is a little better, but I will try to follow the crowd. Someone make up our minds, already! õ¿~ ---

I have my 12 year old niece and 16 year old nephew for the holidays. I’m thinking by the time the Dallas gathering comes around, I’ll be ready for a break. Just let me know the where and when. ---

Saturday Dec. 30th is better for me. However, the location of said gathering will determine if I actually make it or not. Dallas, Addison, Richardson, Irving and Plano are in. Arlington and Ft. Worth are out. ---

Irishman is coming Grace is easy Aglarond will be tied up Saturday Night JimB is trying to finger everyone 😛 I’m leaning toward Saturday myself, we’ll just have to do without Ag’s scintillating personality ☹ Somewhere in the Dallas area so Chef can spend more time at the party, and Adam can make it. Any ideas for a place, guys? ---

Any ideas for a place, guys? \*\* Dang, Zyada, are you trying for the Guiness record of most double-entendres in a single post? If so, you left out “Chef will finish earlier than everyone else.” On second thought, never mind about that. We could do Celebration again, but they may be really crowded on Saturday night. Do they take reservations? I can’t remember. ---

I called Celebration. They take reservations for over 6. I asked if there would be a problem for 10 on Saturday December 30th at 6:30. She said, no problem right now but she didn’t know about whether it might change. And invited me to go ahead and make the reservatiions and cancel later if I wanted. Soooooo, the Addams family has reservations at Celebartion for Saturday night, if we want. If not I’ll just cancel once we make a decision. Jim ---

Chef Troy found my last post… stimulating Adam Yax will only do Dallas (or that area) (yes, I’m having fun 😃 😃 😛 ) Zyada is looking forward to a (damn, I already used stimulating) breath-taking NYEE! ---

Cool! I’m looking forward to this. Someone will have to tell me how to get there, of course. Sat Dec 30 at 6:30 pm, Celebration in Dallas. What kind of place is that? ---

Address for maps and phone number for directions: Celebration 4503 W. Lovers Lane Dallas, TX 75209 (214) 351 - 5681 Celebration is a home-cookin’ place on Lovers (the north side of the street) a couple of blocks west of Inwood. It’s built out of several houses that have been linked together; you have to watch carefully or you’ll drive past it. It’s within range, Adam… you don’t have to worry about your house-arrest ankle bracelet going off. The Dallas Adams Family gathered there once before, but I don’t think that gathering was very well-attended due to schedule conflicts. Those of you who have never been to Celebration, I think you’ll like it. the service is friendly, the food is good with a wide variety of offerings, and you can get _seconds_ … and it doesn’t have to be the same entree you ordered the first time. I especially like their cucumber salad dressing. (no smart remarks.) ---

Now it’s all coming back to me… I’ve never been to Celebration, but it has been highly recommended to me. I’m in. Just PLEASE let me know the finalized date and time (via email). Thanks. ---

So, is it official? This decision making stuff’s not so hard after all. Seems I made a decision without even noticing. If no one objects in the next day or so, I’ll send out announcements far and wide so we can get a head count, or rather a body count. And, Welcome to the family, **Badtz Maru**. Ah, new blood, er, you know what I mean. If you want included on the official mailing list, send me your email address. Jim ---

I found this thread sleeping on page 4 so, I assume that everything is settled. I’ll send out the announcements. I think the body count right now is: [ul]Probables[li]Irishman (of course)[/li][li]Jimb (that’s me)[/li][li]Zyada[/li][li]Chef Troy[/li][li]Balance[/li][li]Grace[/li][li]Adam Yax[/li][li]Meephead[/li][li]Badtz Maru[/li][li]PSiekier[/ul][ul]Not going to make itAglarond[/li][li]LynnBodoni[/li][li]There is no third person, Hi Opal[/ul][/li]I think everyone else is in limbo right now.
