Bad News Baboon wants to get together in Fort Worth, so let’s do it! I think this weekend is too early, but how about next weekend? How does that work for y’all??? Talk to me, y’all! As far as place, BNB suggested Joe T’s. That’s fine by me, but I don’t think it’s the best food in the world, OTOH, the patio is a nice place to while away an evening. When we get the details nailed down, I will put them on the [DFW Adams Family Board](http://www.arborwood.com/awforums/show-toparea-1.php?fid=616&taid=1) announcement section. So keep an eye there for details and updates. And if you want to be emailed about changes, register so we can send you an email. ---

Anyone else? Definitely not having it this weekend. I am waiting to hear from anyone else in Fort Worth before I bother with next weekend. IMO, there’s no point in going to FW if everyone going lives of me! C’mon, FW dopers! Let’s get together!!! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by throatshot \* > \*\* > > I sent you an email. \*\* Is this D&D over in Fort Worth? I’m thinking… what I really should do is start my own campaign. I have all the necessities: readily available DM, more books and miniatures than should be legal, dice, and a really big table next to the refridgerator. Hm, might need some more chairs, though. Oh, and I am on the Depends on the Date, but I’ll Try to Get There list, **Zyada**. ---

Babs, I am determined to get you to a dopefest! The next weekend Grace and I are walking in the March of Dimes in Dallas. That might be a bit much for one day - Grace’s hubby would probably disown her. 🙂 However, the weekend after that is my birthday weekend! I was going to do a dopefest on my b-day anyway, so we can kill two birds with one stone, so to speak. However, I would like to split the difference and have it halfway between the two cities. How does May 4th sound to you? bdgr? ---
