Ok... well, I'm at DFW right NOW, and will be until 3:23pm :D

Hello all. :)

While I have lived in the Dallas area for a while now, I haven't really socialized much with the FT crowd. You wouldn't mind a couple of new faces would you? I might try and talk my wife into coming out with me to try a good steak dinner. Ponder might be a bit of a drive, but seeing as we have never met any of you, it would be worth it.

Count me in for Ponder on the 17th. It's close to home, and it'll be my first official DFW event as a Texan. :)

I'm in for Ponder.

If I don't drink, will any of you be interesting? :confused:

Hey, Sam,

A taxi to Ponder will run you $600-700, probably, and while I can't speak for the others, I can tell you that at least according to every woman I've ever dated, no amount of drinking makes me interesting.

I'm going to suggest carpooling for this event, due to the location. I'll put more info in post #743. We'd love to see you if you can make it out there!

Maybe studley can get a bus? :D

If anyone is still standing after that, we'll probably be at the Flying Saucer after the game... of course, that definitely calls for a designated driver. :cool:

I'm in. It's only 35.2 miles from 114/Mac Arthur. Hopefully there won't be any traffic. ;)

If anyone wants a lift from that point, I have three extra seats in my fuel-efficient Jetta. I'll spring for the gas, but I get to select the music. In addition, I promise to aspire towards sobriety. :D

Otherwise, I will arrive as a party of one, so adjust the reservation accordingly. That is unless I can round up some future flight attendants in that 35.2 mile stretch. :p

Bump. :p

As luck would have it (mine not yours), I have Rangers tickets the 16th and 18th. It's obvious that God wants me in Ponder on Saturday the 17th. God's probably in the minority. In fact, anyone else that wants me there probably hasn't met me yet. Anyway... I look forward to seeing all of you Saturday.

Mavs play Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday so it looks like David Stern wants me in Ponder as well.

Actually, Mavs play Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, and then we can all bring our brooms to the parade downtown next weekend. :D

I saw this place on Bobby Flay's show the other evening (no, I don't normally watch the food network, I was bored ;) ). The chicken fried steak looked really damn good.

So what if one is going to want a baked potato with dinner?

The Better Half is interested, put me down +1.

swag Jun 11, 2006 8:09 am

Put me down as "yes" on this one too. Looking to carpool from N. Dallas/Addison, or somewhere else along the way.

bpauker Jun 11, 2006 12:10 pm

I've updated post 743 to reflect the new attendees.

Empedocles, I think you need to call ahead if you'd like a baked potato.

boilermaker Jun 11, 2006 7:39 pm

I'm in! As I live on the southern end, I can meet up and carpool. Remember, the thing I'm driving is t-i-n-y...

bpauker Jun 14, 2006 10:56 am

Post 743 has been updated with new attendees. I made a reservation under my real name and also under Flyertalk for 7:30pm since 7pm wasn't available. If you want to get a baked potato, you will need to call ahead (940-479-2221). Also, this place is BYOB. I'm bringing a cooler with Shiner, but if others would like to bring additional coolers/beer/miscellaneous, that'd be great. What's a gathering without alcohol, right? See you all there!
