I realize this is last-minute, but we have a brief window of opportunity to get together with Lucky Charms, a young Doper from…um…somewhere else who is in Dallas for a couple of days before leaving Sunday to be a counselor at a summer camp in the Hill Country.
It looks like there’s a brief window of opportunity for lunch on Saturday (yes, I mean Saturday the 16th). Who wants to get together? Post in this thread as soon as you see it… we’ll pick a restaurant once I know where Lucky Charms actually is… I’m thinking maybe around 12:30 or so…
I told him that we’re famous for getting together on short notice, so don’t let me down, folks.
Well, my Dallas geography sucks ass, but I’m right near Lake Highlands High School.
On Saturday my Dad’s busy from 12-3, so I was thinking that we could maybe meet at the huge Half-Price books, I think off of Northwest Highway. We could just hang out, read books, drink coffee, etc. or we could go from there to lunch.
And then again about an hour before you’re planning to meet.
giggles <sorry, couldn’t resist that, Grace> hugs
I’d love to come, but can’t this time. Still working on coming up the end of the month, though. And, Lucky, since I live in San Antonio, perhaps we will meet at a future Austin Dopefest soon.
Hi, Cheffie! smooch
No problem, Grace… I’ll remind you tonight before I get dressed and go home.
[sub]GASP! did I say that out loud?[/sub]
JimB? Zyada? Would one of you please send out e-mail invites so we can catch as many people as possible? The plan is for lunch at The Ditch, tomorrow (Saturday) at 12:30, unless I get overruled.
Damn, I’m going on a blind date tomorrow. I doubt that I would be able to catch up with everyone. However, if you all stay late enough at El Arroyo, I may be able to make it.
Zyada is out of town so she can’t do it. Maybe JimB can do it.
I still owe you Purplebear for forgetting. Next time you’re here, we’ll definitely get together. Maybe you can come up when Mr. Grace is on vacation in July. That’s a perfect time for a gathering.
And Cheffie, you’re a bad boy. I said “let’s get together for lunch” not “let get together for lunch and then go back to my place for some afternoon delight.”
Ok, Chef, I sent a quick notice to everyone. I’m in a little hurry this morning, so, I didn’t give direction or address. You might want to post them here.
OK Cheffie, so we meet tomorrow at 12 at the H-P books? Is that the plan?
If so, post and confirm, including some specific place to stand, and maybe some sort of identifying mark. You can count on me being the only one in a rainbow headband and aviator glasses :). (If only there were the approppriate smilie for that!)
Yes, Lucky, we’re meeting at HP Books at noon. I will be the great big galoot with the goatee, wearing a black t-shirt and jeans. Want to meet in the coffee shop?
then we’ll go to El Arroyo to meet whoever shows up for lunch at 12:30.
Hey, where can I get a rainbow headband? Sounds stylin’.
Well, I’m gonna try and make it this time. My son is out of the hospital and doing well, and I’m coming up there tomorrow to get him 'cause he wants to come here to visit family. So, again two birds with one stone. (hush, Cheffie) Now, I have to go and search for that map again. See ya.
Cheffie, do I still ask for the “Adam’s Family”?
And I hope you don’t mind me calling ya ‘Cheffie’ like some of the others do :).
Dagnamit!! Y’all would keep planning the Addams Family reunions while I’m out of town and won’t be back for another two weeks. AND it’s with a new person.
::grumbles something about 1 dial-up computer on the whole campus::
Well, be sure to get the stories of all the ways I embarrassed myself saying stupid things. Skeletons anyone??
[beat you to it, Pete! bwahahahahaha!] Okay, pardonme, i’m suffering withdrawal from the internet and sane people.
AND it’s with a new person.
