August 12: Goldfingers at 6:00 till the first show. [map](http://yp.yahoo.com/py/ypMap.py?Pyt=Typ&tuid=7680706&slt=32.8773&sln=-97.0808&cs=9) Brood: Just take 35E all the way into Dallas & get off at the Northwest HWY exit. This puts you on the map. Turn right onto Northwest HWY, then turn left at Webb-Chapel Extension (There’s a bar called Caligula’s there, take a wild guess what type) Goldfingers is about a block+ on the left. Goldfinger’s is a greek restaurant. There’s no dress code per se, but realize that you are going to meet one of the sexiest women you’ll ever meet. And I’m not talking about myself. 😛 Then down to West End for Karaoke [map](http://dfw.citysearch.com/page/gen?_template=/entity/entity_map.html&_entity_id=V-DALTX-02141622) Aug 19th: Dinner and drinks at Razzoos in the Bedford. Also at 6:00. [map](http://yp.yahoo.com/py/ypMap.py?Pyt=Typ&tuid=7790444&ycat=8229007&slt=32.858800&sln=-97.161000&cs=9) Aug 26th: Hawkwood, but I haven’t worked out any details yet. I’ll get a list of attendees together later today. [Edited by UncleBeer on 08-09-2000 at 07:52 AM] ---

Something bizarre is wrong with the post above. Here’s the missing information. Aug 19th: Dinner and drinks at Razzoos in the Bedford. Also at 6:00. [map](http://yp.yahoo.com/py/ypMap.py?Pyt=Typ&tuid=7790444&ycat=8229007&slt=32.858800&sln=-97.161000&cs=9) ---

Pssstt… Farris… How about the 26th, handsome? No karaoke, but lots of fun with your doper friends! Thanks, UncleBeer - obviously the Zyada touch has found a bug. Here’s a **smooch** for your help. ---

6:00 is too early for me on the 12th. I work until 7:00. If you can assure me that you’ll all still be there at 7:15-7:30, and that I can still eat, I’ll be there. ---

Hmmm… The 26th. Where and is this Hawkwood stuff? I’ll be in Oklahoma the 25th, hopefully back by Saturday night. Whereever this is, even if there’s no Karaoke, can I sing really loud and annoy people just the same? -FJG ---

We may be sick of each other by the third week. 🙂 If I’ve left anyone off, or anyone can’t make it, let me know. ---

Hmmm, I’m beginning to see a pattern developing. I notice that the 12th has 9 guys and 3 ladies. That made me think about the last get together. Me, Irishman, Aglarond, Balance and _Zyada_. Look at the 19th. Me, SkySlash, Balance and _Zyada_. Then check the 26th, again 3 guys and _Zyada_. Where are the women? Where’s Zoing? Conviently decided not to make any of these. Where’s Hootee? Grace can’t find her, maybe in Puerto Vallarta. I wonder. Where’s sweetcan? Her email bounced back. Did _Zyada_ just remove her? Check the 19th and the 26th. Grace said she could make all the dates, but is her name on the list? Noooooo! I’m afraid she’s going to be the next on the list of missing. Oh, this is an evil plan by Zyada. The only thing to do is find more women that will so up. That’s the only way to put an end to this. We need more women. Jim ---

oh, i forgot to ask, do you have to be over 21 for west end? I assume that goldfingers is a restaurant and therefore doesn’t have an age limit. ---

Nah, you have to be 18 to be in the mall in the West End after like 10 or something, but there’s not much in there anyway. ---
