Ok, time to put this in gear. Five of us, **Grace, Zyada, Ziactrice, Aglarond** and Me, or I, went out on Friday, Jan. 24th to Dave and Busters. It was a nice test run. We had a good time and now it’s time for y’all to start joining us. So, for right now, here’s deal. Friday night, Feb. 7th, Dave and Busters on Composite Drive near Stemmons Fwy and Walnut Hill Lane. Time 7:30pm. We ate dinner there, then played some arcade games. We couldn’t get a pool table so we went bowling around the corner. I’ll probably go a little early this time to try to get us a pool table. Come one, come all. Have a fun night out. Jim PS: Email me if you need further directions or exchange cell phone numbers or anything like that. ---

Count me in. Maybe we should call and see if we can reserve a table. That way Jim doesn’t have to get there too early. Do you want me to check on that? ---

Sure, Grace, go ahead and see if we can reserve a table ahead of time. … I don’t mind going early though, it’s a bar. Hey, Balance, glad you can join. ---

Just don’t make fun of my monumental ineptitude at pool. Let me handle it–I’ve had more experience. 🙂 ---

Hey, does anyone want go bowling on February 28th at 6:00 p.m.? My professional organization is sponsoring a bowling tournament to raise money for college scholarships. There will be 24 teams with five players. I’ll pay the entry fee for the “Straight Dopers” if anyone wants to play. I’ve already proven that I’m a terrible bowler, but I’m willling to make a fool of myself (again) for a good cause. ---

Earlier is actually better for me - this place is less than 30 minutes from where I work and I’d rather have a place to hang. Yay, Balance! Don’t worry about pool-playing skills - just ask Jim what my reaction was the last time we played pool and I made a shot I didn’t intend to. ---

Grace, sure, I’ll do it. I can bowl badly for a good cause. ---

I may be out of town on the 28th, but if I’m not, I’ll be able to make it. I should know in a couple of days. Also, does anybody know MTGMan’s number or e-mail? I need help. And, no, not in that way. ---

Where Grace? I don’t know Dallas too well, so if maybe I can meet someone at their house? ---

You can meet at my house, it’s on the way to anywhere. Well, not Houston, but you know what I mean. ---

The bowling thing is at Allen Bowl, 1011 Greeville Avenue in Allen, TX. If anyone wants to go, it’s probably a good idea to meet in one central location and carpool. Dave and Busters is…well, I don’t know really. I made Aglarond do the driving. ---

[I’ll go](http://www.freecfm.com/p/psiekier/ill_go.wav). I mean, I’m the only one qualified to remote-pilot the ship anyway. Kellie will be coming with me. ---

This looks like it’s going to be a good gathering. Me, Grace, Zyada, Balance, Aglarond, Pete and friend. So far, so good. I know of a couple that won’t be able to make this one but might be at the next one. Minty Green and Pilot141 are posibles next time. Speaking of next time, we’ll be having the 3rd Friday thing on Saturday the 22nd. The reason is that it is Grace’s birthday and she can’t make it on Friday. So, we’ll have Grace’s birthday party at Dave & Busters on Saturday the 22nd instead of Friday the 21st. Even though it messes up the schedule, it is better in that it’s actually her birthday. Let me know if this messes up any plans, we could do both if need be. ---

You can have lots of parties, darlin’. We’ll crank up your party thread as soon as this one goes by the wayside. ---
