DFW Get Together?
 
Any Dallas Fodorites want to do an early happy hour somewhere?
It would be fun to put faces with screen names!
~Laura

Kath Jan 5th, 2004 01:02 PM

I'd be interested. Come on - aren't there more folks in the DFW area out there??

TxTravelPro Jan 5th, 2004 02:34 PM

There has to be others... or does everyone just connect here?
ChristiP where are you?


aceplace Jan 12th, 2004 10:08 AM

Hello,

Yes, I'd like to meet you all. Where at?

Tess_Durberville Feb 6th, 2004 09:07 AM

TTT-
any other metroplex residents on the forum?

sandy_b Feb 6th, 2004 10:52 AM

Did you also post this on the other destinations (Europe, Latin America, etc.) . . . I don't travel much in the US so hardly ever come over to this branch.

I know there are lots of us in the area.

I'm a player . . . feel free to email me at [email protected].

Hope this gets going!

ChristieP Feb 6th, 2004 11:27 AM

I'm here!! (waving hand)

Pick a time and I will be there, unless I am TRAVELING! ;-)

Tess_Durberville Feb 7th, 2004 07:05 AM

Up for the weekend crowd.

TxTravelPro Feb 7th, 2004 07:45 AM

Well, let's do it!
I live in Sachse and work at the North end of DFW so I can do just about any location North of I-20.
I never go out in Dallas, what's a good place?
~Laura - currently in ATL :(

ChristieP Feb 7th, 2004 08:29 AM

I live in Grapevine and work in Irving, so anywhere north of I-30 is cool with me. Email me at [email protected] and tell me when and where!

Kath Feb 7th, 2004 08:38 AM

I live in Arlington and could easily meet up north of here. My email address is [email protected].

Should we post this on other boards?

tmh Feb 7th, 2004 08:56 AM

I'm interested. Do we do this by e-mail? If so, [email protected].

As someone said - Sandy? - I spend more of my time on the Europe board. Has there been a post there?

Anyplace in the Dallas area works for me. One such place could be the Addison area - close to 635 and the North tollroad for easy in and out access for several. Lots of places there such as Blue Mesa; a Fridays and an El Paso come to the top of my head. (Blue Mesa has better and free happy hour snacks tho! ;-) )

OliveOyl Feb 7th, 2004 09:02 AM

You all are making me veerrrrry jealous you know...especially when you mention Blue Mesa as a possibility. Someone needs to bring a camera to post a picture online...or you need to find a spot with a webcam and you can do the "Naples wave", for those of us unable to attend. ps...can I send my son and d-i-l in my stead? :)

Kath Feb 7th, 2004 09:18 AM

I made a BIG mistake. I'm not on AOL anymore. Yikes. My email address is [email protected]. Duh.

TxTravelPro Feb 7th, 2004 01:40 PM

I think it should be posted on other sites if you think we might be missing someone... I only visit the US area.
Blue Mesa would be awesome!
Can't we just post a day/time here?
My email address is [email protected] but it gets full of spam just about everyday, so a message could get rejected.

ChristieP Feb 7th, 2004 05:20 PM

I LOVE Blue Mesa! There's a new one in Southlake, but either the North Park or Addison one would be fine, too. This Friday is fine with me, but I will be TRAVELING next Friday.

sandy_b Feb 9th, 2004 07:45 AM

Sandy again,

I can bring my two travel friends . . . (just a ploy to get this back up to the top).

Ready to go!
Sandy (in Denton)

norrisely Feb 9th, 2004 08:03 AM

Full speed ahead, there will be three of us from Garland. Blue Mesa is ok as tex-mex ..we've tried the one in Plano which features monthly special tequilas and offering guitar music in February. Whats the time, anddate?

pspercy Feb 9th, 2004 08:21 AM

Let me know when/where, email this screen name at yahoo.com

TxTravelPro Feb 9th, 2004 08:27 AM

So, where should we meet?
I think it would be great to go to the one at Northpark but it may be too far for others?
The mall is across the street and I can hang out between the time I get off and the time we meet...I get off at 3pm.
Is there a specific day of the week that works well for all?
I am pretty flexible if I am in town.
Everyone around next week?
Wednesday the 18th?
Once we agree we can repost the event on all boards.

norrisely Feb 9th, 2004 08:32 AM

Will a week night draw a big crowd? We'll come if we're in town. Post date andtime.

Kath Feb 9th, 2004 08:34 AM

I don't know about the others, but Fridays or Saturdays would be best for me.

TxTravelPro Feb 9th, 2004 08:38 AM

Friday work for me, Saturdays do not...
The bad thing about Friday is the traffic. Just terrible in all these areas.
Feedback?

norrisely Feb 9th, 2004 08:46 AM

Just got the word part of the team will be gone off and on for most of the month, and that means we'll have to be there, so give us a rain check for the next time, and have fun!!

ChristieP Feb 9th, 2004 10:05 AM

Wedsnesday 2/18 will work fine for me. I can be at Northpark around 5:30 (thank heavens for Northwest highway).

sandy_b Feb 9th, 2004 12:05 PM

We (3 of us) need to do a weekend, as we don't get off work until 6:00 or so and then it's an hour or more into Dallas . . .

If y'all can work it out for a Fri, Sat, or Sun, we'll be there . . . just let us know ([email protected]).

Sandy (in Denton)

anotherjudy Feb 9th, 2004 02:23 PM

I just saw a mention of this on the Europe board. Count me in. My email is [email protected]. I am pretty flexible, so just about any time and place.
Judy Coffman

tmh Feb 9th, 2004 04:40 PM

I think Addison is still more central. There's some folks from Denton and going to Northpark is longer then necessary.

* How about Friday 2/20...AFTER V-day?

* 5:30-?

* Blue Mesa: Addison at Beltline and North Tollroad (behind Bed, Bath and Beyond)

I can call Blue Mesa and ask them to reserve a table(s) so we won't bother the Friday crowd. They may require us to be in the bar but can check.

tmh Feb 9th, 2004 04:42 PM

Ooops - just saw ChristieP is out on the 19th...how about the 26th? If you prefer this Friday I'm sure it works but I just thought it was too close to V-Day and early bird celebraters!

anotherjudy Feb 10th, 2004 07:11 AM

anymore plans made?

TxTravelPro Feb 10th, 2004 10:18 AM

26th works for me... if no one objects?
I'm very flexible.

ChristieP Feb 10th, 2004 11:20 AM

26th is cool with me. Thanks for working around my schedule!

ChristieP Feb 10th, 2004 11:26 AM

Do you mean Friday, February 27, or Friday, March 26?

Kath Feb 10th, 2004 06:17 PM

In February, the 26th is a Thursday.

Kath Feb 12th, 2004 06:55 AM

All this talk about the NYC GTG reminded me to push this up. TTT.

TxTravelPro Feb 12th, 2004 11:28 AM

Ok... I say we should wait until early March so the norrisely group can come...
What about Friday March 5th, 530pm - 8pm at the Blue Mesa in Addison?
I'll be coming from Wylie and Addison is about the same distance for everybody traveling pretty far.
Will it work?

anotherjudy Feb 12th, 2004 11:49 AM

It is on my calendar.
Judy Coffman

norrisely Feb 12th, 2004 11:53 AM

Thats gracious of you, we'll try to attend. We have some grandkid things going on so our situation is unclear. Thanks for thinking of us, Nell&Brad

tmh Feb 13th, 2004 01:41 PM

Sorry - won't be in town. I'll be in Alpine TX/Big Bend area on the 5th.

Since our passports are in for renewal we're limited to US travel til they come back so we're heading down there. (there's a Cowboy Poetry reading event that weekend providing another avenue for travel-learning.)
