Hi Jill, I was going to try to come but it's not going to work out. Are you on facebook? I can post a link in Fodors Friends, if not.
FYB - I am on Facebook, but if you could do it for me, that'd be great! I'm not that versed on the ins/outs of Facebook. What info do you need from me? I think my Facebook name is the same as it is here.
Looks like the key word is MINI. Hey Jill, obviously if everyone else is a no show, there's no reason for you to schlep from Fort Worth. I wonder what happened to sarge. Doesn't look like she's been on for a while. I hope the feral cats didn't steal her computer. I guess we will just wait and see over the weekend to figure out if this is a go. Thanks.

Hi Jill, I posted a link to this thread in Fodor's Friends.

If it is just the 3 of us, I say let's meet at the Adolphus!
Sarge!!! We were wondering where you were!!!
That's fine with me (Adolphus), but I think MTT wanted to get away from the convention crowd.
Either is fine, but yes the convention crowd usually crams up all the hotel bars, so a short cab ride for me is OK.

IT'S ON!!! Meet @ La Duni on May 2 (Wed.) ~ 6:30.
I'll "reserve" under the name of FODORS!!!
Looking forward to seeing everyone!
OK. LaDuni it is. See y'all soon!
I'm practicing my Texan accent.

See you tonight.
I have a "How to Speak Texan" guide I'll bring for you
See ya!
I hope y'all have fun! That was kind of Texan wasn't it?
Thanks to sarge, jill and her husband for a wonderful time (and thanks to Sarge for picking up my tab). If I had known you were paying, I would have skipped that 7th martini

Funny story. Jill dropped me off at the hotel, and her husband had to meet us there because her tire was deflating. So I get out of her car at the Adolphus, and the guy who works the front door at the Adolphus who saw me leave said, "Oh I see you found someone to give you a ride back."
Before I could say anything, Jill gets out of the car. About ten seconds later, Jill's husband appears, and the Adolphus guy asks me, "Now who is that?"
I said, "Oh, that's her husband."
Without missing a beat, the Adolphus guy opens the front door for me, and as I go by he whispers, "Man, you are trouble, aren't you? I'm going to have to watch you."
I didn't have the heart to tell him the real story, so I just left everything open to his imagination.
Thanks again!!
We did have a nice time. It was so fun to meet MTT and Sarge56 (again).
I've just returned from getting my tire fixed. It had a large razor blade type hazard in it.
I'll work on posting the pic.
mtt- too funny! hahaha I love it.

We had a really good time. (Dang, the mojitos were good!) Too bad nobody else could join us. It was a delight to meet mtt and to see he is back to fighting weight.
And good to see jill and her SO (who is a riot, by the way!... Zanzibar! I'm still laughing about that!)
Here's to the next GTG... Cheers!
My attempt at posting a pic from the Dallas GTG. Hope it works!
