That’s right, the Dallas Dopefest is in full swing at the State Fair of Texas and we found a cyber-kiosk in the Automobile Pavilion! ---

Leave it to the Dallas Dopers to find two available computers hijack them for the rest of the day. No, not really. It’s raining outside so it’s not a bad idea… ---

Hey, y’all, I’m going to be leaving here in about an hour or so. What’s the body count? I should get to El Arroyo before 6. I try to get a table before y’all get there. I should have gone with y’all for all I accomplished here. Jim ---

JimB, I’m about to hop in the shower and head that way from Burleson. I figure I’ll roll into Dallas about 5:30ish. If you grab a table early I’ll find you. Did we decide on a name to leave with the hostess? If not, I’ll be wearing baggy jeans, a white undershirt with a flashy blue short sleeve button up over it. I’ve got on black shoes with brushed silver buckles, ya cant miss me. Chef and Grace have my cell # also. See everyone there! -SS 🙂 ---

You think posting from there is bad. My buddies in the AOL chat room I frequent take a laptop and a cell/satellite phone and chat while camping. Now that’s hard core! Zy, hope you all are a having a good time! ---

Ok, I’m on my way, should be there around 5:30. If I’m the first one there, I’ll get a table for around 10 or 12 in the name of the Addams Family. See y’all in a little while. Jim
