Dallas meetup, Feb. 16 February 3, 2008 3:14 PM   Subscribe

Anyone up for a Dallas meetup on February 16th at Texas Caribbean Food? (google map). Afterwards, if anyone that attends is interested, MeFite item is DJing at Night of the Loving Dead at Absinthe Lounge, right next door to TxCbbnFd.

Caveat: the event next door has a $5 cover and is 21+. However, anyone that can't make it or has other plans is more than welcome to join for dinner. Costumes are optional, but encouraged. If anyone comes dressed as Zombie mathowie, cortex, or jessamyn, I'll personally buy their dinner. So long as it's done well.

I will be working the door at the party that night at the beginning, but will then be milling around the party zombied out myself.

Wow, I'd sure like to hear item's DJ set.

Just thinking last night when the next Big "D" meet-up happens, if I'll have ample time prior to the date for arranging around my schedule; meaning, I may not be able to attend due to work. Sounds like a fun event all around too.

What we really need is a meet up in Dallas when I'm not down in Aggieland. But maybe in the summer.....

Sounds like fun, and I'm a sucker for zombies.

Maybe. (Yes, my standard answer)

We are making every effort to record all the musical sets from that night, which will be experimental, sample-heavy, voodoo-influenced and creepily Caribbean.

So, if you're not a dance music person, this is the party for you.

I certainly hope to see you all, grandsham and LynNever. It'd be nice to have fresh braaaains, erm, blood at a Dallas meetup. Since item's set starts at 8, should we shoot for somewhere b/w 6 and 6:30 for dinner? I think that'll work for my SO and I.

I would love to drive up from Houston — anybody wanna put me up for the night?

Brittanie, check with Ufez to see if he will put you up. He is a great host.

I've paid for a table at the Jefferson Jackson Dinner which is the 16th from 7:30-9:30 pm at the Aboretum. Because I already paid for it, I kind of need to go and hob nob with local judges. But I could swing by for a round or two afterwards before I head home. Would it be wholly inappropriate to come wherever you will be in a suit? If I go home first to change, I'll end up staying there and not make it out. So Ufez and Item, what say you? Will y'all be at the Absinthe Lounge at 10?

I will also be there all night (in fact, Item and I have to set up and clean up afterwards, so for us, it'll be a 12 hour tour).

I also am hosting a friend from Miami so it should be fairly busy/crazy around my house or else we'd offer to put you up, Brittanie.

Normally I'm pretty open to guests but with one roommate, one guest, and ritual zombification before and afterwards, we'll be busy as heck!

I will be working the door from 8-10 p.m.!

and eating brains

Aw crap. Sorry. Had a long week of head-funk and internet outage. Regardless, the SO and I should be down for dinner around 7, and then on to Absinthe after.

I'd say more, but I'm off to finish watching Blazing Saddles. Again.

FINALLY off work on a Saturday - if I didn't have rehearsal for my singing group that night, I'd go!

Dang it ALL.

But hey, if anyone wants to hear the fruits of our labors, my singing wenches group is performing at Four Winds Faire near Tyler, TX the first two weekends in March. You can come judge and see if it was worth me missing yet another MeFi meetup.
