For the record, May 24 is a Tuesday. We were originally discussing Thursday May 19 for the get together... and I agreed to meet Spiff for dinner on Tuesday since I would miss him on Thursday night. Did the whole DO shift now to that night?

If that is the case, let me warn you that I was planning for an early dinner on the 24th... I've got to be up at 5 am to catch an international connection on the 25th.

I'm again out of town, on both the 19th & 24th. But there's an excellent chance that my travel will slow next month and I will again be able to join the party come June.

The 24th will depend on my employment situation :o

I'm not sure if Spiff asked if the gathering could be on 5/24, or whether he wanted to have dinner with you on that day. However, I'd like to meet him, whether it's the gathering or not.

As far as the gathering goes, I was trying to keep something in play so we can finalize a date. An early dinner on 5/24 works for me. Hence my comment of that's where I thought we were, if this was still going to be the gathering.

Its a moot point... I'm not going to be able to make the 24th either.

They are going to up my dosage at infusion so I can't drive that day and I'll be at home sleeping off my Benadryl so I doubt I'll have much interest in food.

Everyone enjoy dinner... whatever night it ends up being.

I'm in town on both the 19th and the 24th, but I don't get into town until later on the 24th. I get in earlier on the 19th. Either night is good for me for Abacus. I could do beers on the other night, as much as I love Abacus, it's really easy to $pend there. :)

I would be happy to meet up for a drink or something either night.

Not exactly a gathering-type of thing, but...
 

...I'll be in DFW from about 9:30am until 11:30am on Friday the 27th...

If anyone wants to meet up tonight for Abacus or beverages, PM me. I'll be able to go about 7:30pm.

On the 24th, I get in about 9pm. Late but still doable.

I'm going to have to bow out with the late dinner time. Next week gets crazy for me with preparing for holiday operations, and I have a conference call early on Wednesday, 5/25.

With the May gathering all but scuttled, I guess it's time to talk about something possibly for June, so we can try to get back on track. I'm figuring that early to mid-month would be best, and anything towards the end of the month will be a stretch because of the July 4 Holiday being not far from that.

Proposed days....
 

How does Wed or Thurs the 8th-9th or 15th-16th grab everyone? Some place in Addison? (Although I've also been wanting to try Stephan Pyles' restaurant, Dragonfly...)

15th or 16th works for me (FW Cats have away games that week) as far as I know (unless I get back from Oz to discover more out of town trips scheduled).

I'm good for 6/15 or 6/16.

the 15th and 16th work for me ^
