Count me in for the fair, as someone mentioned “bier”.
If tickets are available, and someone doesn’t mind…if not, I’ll buy one at the gate. Or something.
Maybe hang out front and see if anyone’s scalpin’ 'em cheap?
1PM Sat. at Arroyo’s?

“Mostly Harmless :wally”
I think we can hook you up Tank. May not even have to if daChef can score the volunteer parking pass. How many people can fit in that minivan anyway?
Has anyone considered inviting Lynn Bodoni to this? I think she lives in the DFW area. If anyone here frequents the pit, you might want to mention it to her. Also, wasn’t there someone (psi-something) who volunteered at the concession stand at the Ballpark at Arlington? I wonder if he knows we’re getting together? And who was the chick who was a newbie who came to the second gathering…the one I missed?
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
Bump bumpity bump bump…bump bump.
Thank you. Thank you.
Just keeping this in the public eye in case somebody else wants to join us.
I won’t be at the fair (I have to work), but I’ll see you all at dinner.
Any Dallas dopers online tonight?
yes, there are.
A couple actually!

I live in Fort Worth, and I don’t go to Dallas. I’ll go as far as the HEB area, or Arlington, but not Dallas. There are some people who have an infallible sense of direction. I’m not one of them.
Let me know if anyone wants to get together in Fort Worth, Arlington, or someplace like that. I can sort of find my way around there.
I promise to leave all of my knives at home. Well, MOST of my knives at home, anyway.
Lynn, if you can find your way to Grapevine, I’ll take you the rest of the way. … Well, maybe.

Well dang it. I guess we’ll just have to schedule another dinner next month so Lynn can attend. You can still come to this one if you’d like since I’m sure one of us can meet you somewhere. Heck, my luncheon was cancelled so I’m free after 11:00 a.m. if you want to meet me somewhere.
Palmyra and SS, I’m sorry I missed you last night. 
Grace, maybe if you turned your ICQ on once in a while you’d KNOW if people were online.

And if you want to come to my place in Bedford, I’ll be happy to have you join me!
Please come, all the other dopers are making fun of us because we’ve never met our local Moderator. 
We’ll do a party at my house sometime…
Drinks and flavored condoms are all provided but its definitely BYOT
-SS
My ICQ was on! I even sent you a message. Actually I sent you two messages. One the other night in reply to the “Aren’t you ever online?” message you sent me the other day. No one was online and I was feeling lonely. ::sniff, sniff:: I ended up going to bed and watching a two week old episode of Deadline.
Okay, let’s calm down on trying to get Lynn Bodoni to join us for dinner. We’re starting to sound desperate. What am I saying? We ARE desperate. If we can’t get Cecil to join us, Lynn’s the next best thing. (Sorry Ed)
Yeah, uh-huh, we’ll see.
I’ll be online tonight after around 8…hope maybe I’ll run into you then.
I’ll be home all night tonight. Friday is my monthly bunco group so I probably won’t be online tomorrow.
Final count for free passes:
12 adult
1 student (reserved for Chef Jr.)
I think we’re covered for entrance fees if you can’t get the parking pass.
Well, the relative with the parking pass asked me to babysit for a couple of hours on Saturday afternoon and of course I had to say no…I’m not going to pull a SkySlash on you guys at the last minute… and I figured right after I turned her down would not be a good time to ask for the parking pass, so I guess we’ll have to forget parking on-site. That’s okay, a nice brisk walk will help burn off those corny-dog calories.
So HOORAY for Grace, and her unprecedented ability to score free passes. You rock, sweetie!
HEY! Shameless ribbing is only allowed after its been paid for in full at the front counter!! 
I’ll be there guys, no question…unless by some miracle…hehe…j/k, I am there! Fact is, I’m emailing Grace and Chef my cel# so I can find you kids in the crowd. No fair for me, but El Arroyo is a definite.
Mexican food, beer, wimmens…what more could I be doing with my Saturday?
-SS
Countdown to party time.
27 hours 35 minutes
Do you want to hitch a ride with me? I need to know so I can get the car cleaned up.
