Sad to say, I’ll miss [rjk’s 11/11/00 Dallas visit](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=43985); I’d love to put **Cheffie** ’s culinary wizardry to the test and I truly enjoyed meeting **rjk** in Vegas and would love to commisserate again. But such is not to be. Enjoy yourself in Dallas, pal (;)). On to the current subject matter. I’ve got a double flyday next week and will be spending the evening of election day (Tuesday, November 7th) in a motel near Love Field. Any of the great Big ‘D’ crew (that I’ve met, _and/or_ board friends not yet met) want to get together for dinner? It’s probably a school night for all of us, so gettin’ crazy’s not the agenda. But if you would care to muster for dinner, I’m all ears. ---

☹ It really is a school night for me. Tuesdays are class nights. Sorry to miss you this time beatle. Where is the office you are working at? Maybe we can get together for lunch? ---

Hey beatle. I can make it for dinner on Tuesday evening. Email me at [glfreak@aol.com](mailto:glfreak@aol.com) and we’ll make arrangements for dinner. ---

Email’s been sent to **Grace** and I’ve asked her to suggest a place. Other suggestions are welcome as well. I _will_ have a car, so mobility is not a problem. I’d like to see as manny of y’all as might muster. I realize mid-week gatherings tend toward the light side - WTF - let’s get together. After tomorrow evening I’ll be unable to pick up any changes. Let’s go! ---

And **zyada** (you’ve _got_ to 'splain your name to me sometime), would Wednesday work for lunch? My schedule will be freer that day. I’ll be a little west of town off the John Carpenter Freeway. I’d love to see you again. ---

Hey beatle. I just sent you an email with my work and cell phone numbers. That way if you can’t get back here to check to see where we’re meeting, you can always call me. ---

Email sent, **Z**. Yes, I’ll be in Las Colinas area; at least I think I will as that’s the name of the street I’ll be on. ---

Will someone please think of a place for us to have dinner Tuesday evening? The last few times this girl has gone south of Plano has been when we’ve gotten together. Since beatle is staying near Love Field, I figured maybe something east of the tollway. Oak Lawn maybe? ---

Oak Lawn maybe? \*\* You mean WEST of the tollway, right? There are a bunch of good places to eat in that area. One place I will be jealous if you go to is **Celebration,** which is a home-cooking kind of place on Lover’s west of Inwood (an easy trip from Love Field - just go up Mockingbird to Inwood, turn left, go to Lovers, turn left again, it’ll be on your right maybe a half-mile down). One supremely cool thing about Celebration: You can ask for seconds…and it doesn’t have to be the same thing you ordered the first time. 😃 If you turn the other way (right) on Lovers, there’s a mexican place called **Casa Rosa** in the same shopping center as the Inwood theater (be sure to stop by **the Lounge** while you’re over there…it’s a bar in the lobby of the theater where I used to work as a bouncer. Ask for Harry or Carlos and tell 'em Troy Smith sent ya.) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/if-its-tuesday-it-must-be-dallas/39660.md?page=2)
