What do you mean not popular? That’s just the kind of flirting this group likes. ---

Well, it appears that I can no longer mae it to Hawkwood. Due to a schedule change, I now have two papers that I have to write on Sunday. There’s no way around it. I have to skip this get-together. Sorry guys (and gals ;)), you’ll have to try to have fun without me. Be brave. –==the sax man==– ---

I found this on page 4. It’s 3 days away. Everything is set. At least Grace and Zyada and I are going. I don’t care about the rest of you guys. [sub][sup]Just kidding[/sup][/sub] Jim ---

It’s time for a final attendee list: Zyada JimB Grace Hootee Palmyra Psieker Kookalouris Aglarond Adam Yax Maybe Ex-Tank (who may come in a kilt, rrrowrr) Lionors Lightnin’ bdgr We will leave for Hawkwood when everyone on the definitely list gets there, and probably not more than a half hour after the designated meeting time anyway. So if you are still on the maybe list, tell me now! If you would rather just meet at Hawkwood, look for us in the pubs; probably the one with the wonderful rum punch _hic_ that we spent so much time at last year. Looking forward to Saturday! ---

Looks like it’s full price at Bennigans. Hootee is packing for the move to Lubbock next week and is unable to attend Hawkwood on Sunday. We’re also losing Aglarond. He forgot about Hawkwood and made plans to visit his grandparents. For those of you who read The Onion, I think his visit echoes the sentiments of the article [“A Shattered Nation Longs to Care about Stupid Bullshit Again.”](http://www.theonion.com/onion3735/a_shattered_nation.html)😃 ---

I’m going to beg off on Hawkwood, in favor of attending TRF sometime in November. That way we have the possibility of getting the D/FW and Houston crowds together. I’m looking at the possibility of the second or third weekend in November. ---

I thought I’d give this a bump just to let everyone know that we actually did go there. We had a great time as usually for the DFW family. The ones that made it were **psiekier, Kookalouris, Grace, Zyada, Hooteewho, Palmyra** and, of course, yours truly. **Balance** made an appearance late in the day but he looked to road weary, I’m not sure he remembers. We had drenched a few guys, heard some dirty songs, and just had fun. I’m looking foward to next weekend at the state fair. Jim ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by JimB \* > **We had drenched a few guys, heard some dirty songs, and just had fun.** Don’t you mean the DFW ladies drenched a few guys? There was a booth at Hawkwood where you could throw wooden blocks at a target and if you hit it, it drenched the workers. One of the guys working made the comment that girls couldn’t throw and we took offense to that so we bought some tickets and proceeded to soak the living crap out of those fellas. 😃 The DFW guys didn’t do anything, but stand there and watch. That’s okay though…they probably were still in shock over Lily’s breasts and the dirty songs. ---

And, by the way, [we have pictures](http://www.snapfish.com/share/p=25781002570376338/l=5688333/t_=6272), including Lily’s breasts and the drenchings and, for those interested, Pete’s butt.
