A birthday on Cinco de Mayo. I guess that means we’re having mexican food eh? Count me in! Count me in even if we don’t do mexican. ---

My birthday is really on the sixth, but since that’s Sunday and my family’s regular get-together day, we’re eating supper with Mom that day. Dad always said this set the stage for my life - since being late for Cinco De Mayo, I’ve been late for everything since then! Mexican Food sounds good. We could descend upon the Ditch again. ---

Balance? Aglarond? Palmyra? Meephead? Bdgr? Ag - if you can’t have Mexican food (what you don’t want jalapenos?) if there is something you can have, tell me and we’ll plan accordingly. ---

Now this is ironic, I would have to go to Dallas in order to meet rjk, when I can see his mom’s house from the back door of my apartment building. 😉 Keith ---

Hey Odie - it’s probably easier to get to Dallas than Vancouver from Weyburn. 😉 Palmyra - I hope you can come, but school is definitely more important. ---

So is it safe to assume that we’re meeting at El Arroyo on May 5th? Do we know what time? Is this an afternoon thing and going until El Arroyo staff kicks us out. Or, is this an evening thing and continues until the last person passes out? ---

Okay, if we’ve all agreed on the 5th of May, I have an exam till 6pm. Does anyone violently object to 7pm?? I can always just show up late if y’all want to start earlier. ---

Palmyra - I was thinking about 7 P.M anyway, so we’ll set it at that! beatle - here is a [map](http://maps.yahoo.com/py/maps.py?addr=7402+Greenville+Ave&city=Dallas&state=TX&zip=75231) The general area is just off of Central Expressway (75) which goes north from Downtown Dallas. ---
