Will poll the attendees later on the venue- Japanese or Chinese Dim Sum. Will need to factor in the ability of the place to handle groups of 12-15. Lets first see who we have then lock down a date, then the venue. Thanks!

Bill T, I think that's a weekend when there is no game. I already have some plans for that weekend, but they are not concrete yet. I would love to go to another GTG.

Hi all! Thanks to BillT for tracking me down and letting me know about this. I'd love to join y'all if I'm available. I used to be a regular, and then I forced myself to stay away for a while when I realized all of my travel was going to be limited to work trips and taking my high school age son to visit colleges -- too tempting otherwise!

FYI - I'm local and mid-Sept to early Oct sounds fine. Ditto for dim sum.

I've been to two Texas GTGs. The first was in Austin a long time ago and then one in Houston at Teala's. These are always great fun.

Ok we have generated enough interest. Now lets focus on some dates. I'm looking at Saturdays after labor day weekend- so lets try 9/9, 16, or 23.
I still need to hear from some of you that have indicated an iterest but have not sent me their e-mail, name, screen name, location and how many would attend.
My e-mail again is:
[email protected]

No one has mentioned the H word. It might be best to plan for any contingency.

No. That's derived from the setup to joke #58. Punch line:

&quot;Your <u>only</u> son, I presume.&quot;
