Grace, if I can’t do a better job on tying the knots than I did last time. 😛  
Aug 26th: Hawkwood  
Take a look at the [schedule](http://hawkwood.org/schedule.htm) - I thought we’d meet up 10-15 minutes before one of the shows, say between 2 and 3.

I don’t think I’m going to make it to the next couple of dopefests. Thanks anyway.

Ok, I guess the silent treatment is getting you worried, so I’ll let you know that I’ll be there. I hope all the ones on your list are still coming too. Wasn’t **Kepi** going to be at the one on the 19th. And what happened to **Adam Yax**?

Are we going to make the 26th at _ **Hawkwood** _ a family thing? I’ve got a couple of twenty something daughters with a couple of kids each that might want to go. But it’s no big deal and I haven’t asked them, so they may have other plans anyway.

And **Z** please let **Grace** come, I hardly talked to her at all last time. I know that was the plan, but …

Hi Zyada! Thanks for the reminder. I’m still not sure if I can make it on the 19th. If I can go I’ll probably just show up.

As far as the 26th, things are looking good for that day. I’m fairly certain that I can make Hawkwood.

JimB - Adam was supposed to show up last week late, and was MIA. And Hawkwook could be a family thing(as opposed to a bar), but isn’t that family oriented.

Hawkwook? Is that a wookie falconer?

One of my daughters had asked about going to Scarborough Faire and I said it was closed now, but Hawkwood would be opening soon. She was already thinking about going to a place like that. The question wasn’t about whether Hawkwood was family oriented as much as whether the Dopefest was family oriented. I don’t mind either way. I’m going to drink beer and eat turkey legs.

Just wondering if you wanted to open that door or just keep this between us.

It’s beginning to look like I probably won’t be able to make it on the 19th. ☹

But I will be there in spirit!

I won’t be coming to this one… or the next one, but I’ll be there in spirit I guess… I would like to have met SkySlash… and I’d like to get to talk to Grace a bit more this time…

A smaller group would be a bit more intimate (I can here the comments from the kiddie table already) and would be more my style.

Have fun guys…

and if you’re ever down Waco Way…

miss this one! I’ll be there, as soon as Zyada confirms that map that is 😉

I haven’t bought a car yet…I’m too picky, but I’m driving one of the ones my grandad left me when he and my grandmother moved to Reno.

See everyone there!

Tease!

The map is correct - for some odd reason that Razzoo’s is not in Yahoo’s yellow pages, so I just selected the restaurant right next door. So if you follow the map and end up at On The Border, look east and Razzoo’s will be right there.

For days I’ve been trying to figure out what the hell you were talking about when you said “bump.”

… Now I want to kill myself for being a total tard. 🙂

Anyway, I’m going to try like hell to come to Razzoo’s morgen abend. I have a lot of work to do around the apartment, but hopefully I’ll get it all done morgen morgen.

A co-worker of mine is playing some polkas at this Bavarian restaurant on Parker tomorrow night as well. I might leave early, and y’all are welcome to come over there, too.

Mazel tov cocktails…

I’ll get the table under the name “Adams” & will have the sign, if you haven’t met the rest of us yet.
