Late December Dallas Meetup for the Discriminating Mefite

December 22, 2008 8:00 PM

Dallas: meetup December 26! , 27, or 28?

Yes, this coming weekend. Yes, very short notice. I figured folks might have a bit of free time after the Holiday and before the Other Holiday. Do folks have any free time after the Holiday and before the Other Holiday? If you are in the greater Dallas/North Texas/ Oklahoma area, or if you care to fly/drive/skip/jetpack in to said area and you have some free time after the Holiday and before the Other Holiday, then you really have no excuse to not come. Really.

I have a few places in mind, but suggestions are welcome. Remember, Dallas meetups tend to be unforgettable events filled with the making of memories - special memories - that will last for generations. Reach into your heart, right on in your chest cavity, and come enjoy the company of this bundle of joy. Disappointment is something that will not happen.

If it isn't in a bar, I might venture down from Plano. I have no place suggestions, though- I'm pretty sure all y'all are cooler than me :D.

I might be able to do something on the 26th, but I have family commitments the other night. And there's always the question of whether my flight from Seattle will actually get me there on time.

I'm supposed to arrive on the 25th. Considering the weather in the northwest right now, there is a small question of whether that will happen. I won't be able to confirm any appearances until I get there unfortunately. Although good Tex-Mex sure is appealing.

I'm driving back from Tulsa on the 26th, but then driving back out to Colorado early (like 3am early) on the 27th. so depending as long as its sufficiently not late at night, I am definitely in.

Hey, I'll actually be able to come to this one! And I'm freshly 21, what a nice coincidence!

Hacienda would be nice, due to the fact that I'm underage. and 7pm would work splendidly

I'm back in Texas for Christmas, and really missing Tex-Mex after moving to North Carolina. I'm probably not "discriminating" (more like incriminating) but I'll drop in if I can.

Woot! I'm coming back from visiting relatives earlier that day, but I should be back in time for evening things.

Oh dear, the 26th is the one day that does not work for me. My friends and I are having a Christmas party/gift exchange tomorrow night- at 6:30, even. Have fun, and maybe I'll be in town for the next one :).

I'm so sorry, Item.

I'm free all next week, and I'm all for keeping the dream alive for tomorrow night.

Probably not going to make it due to family obligations. See y'all next time perhaps.
