Dallas area forumites gathering

[SOonthebeach]

OK, so it wasn't BB, it was Desperados in Dallas. But good conversation and fun times ensued! Thank you, rpplano and pianogirl for getting us together! Such a great time. Met up with texasmermaid and Mr. texasmermaid. I brought Mr. laurafranks (have to get a better name). Our kids (jr stjohnaholics) came along, too, and put up with all of us "old people" talking about St. John and other assorted topics for 3 hours! My first attempt at posting a picture is below. Not sure I can do it. If it doesn't show up I'll send to rpplano and get him to post for us. Below may be a picture or a link to a picture. Newbie- sorry! Thanks again guys!

Hey- who in the DFW area is going to JB at Pizza Hut park on 5-22? Tailgate planning underway! Send me a PM and we'll plan. Have to miss the 5-15 gathering

Hey rpplano-PM me your email and I'll send the picture so you can post- the best I could do was a link.... can't figure out how to attach a pic. Need to learn before August so I can maybe send a proper TR!

Here you go:

I go to www.tinypic.com, upload the pic there, size it for "message board", then copy and paste the "message board" code into the message here. HTH.

We are planning on going to the 5-15 gathering. Is that at Desperados? Looking forward to it!

The May 15th DFW Forum gathering will indeed be at Desperados. Yesterday was to be a dry run because I needed some great Tex-Mex. It ended up being an alternative gathering for two of the DFW forumite couples who will miss the May 15th event. Jake Levy, the GM at Desperados is a Parrothead who has patiently listened to my stories of STJ adventures. Some of you need to email him and urge him to join the forum and start planning an STJ vacation. Here's his contact info:

Good lookin' Texans with a bit of St. John in their blood!! Hated to miss this one but looking forward to our official gathering in May! Yea!

[SOonthebeach]

Thanks for posting the picture Minde and for the lesson! Will try it with a pic from our recent trip. Any Texans going to the 5/15 gathering at Desperados- have fun! It's a great place. Will be sad to miss. Got to get him to STJ!

I'm a little slow in getting out here to the board, but wanted to say we had a FANTASTIC time with y'all on Saturday night! Thanks for suggesting the get together rpplano!

We couldn't believe how fast the evening flew by - definitely a lot of fun. The stories kept coming and I think our sides are still sore from laughing so much. And now we have to seriously consider going in Feb for 8 Tuff Miles...

Wish we were going to be seeing JB with y'all on May 22. We'll just have to have another DFW gathering in the summer to hear what kind of trouble you get into in May! Hopefully no tractors will be needed!

[SOonthebeach]

I have the word out to see if anyone needs tix! Sad ya'll can't come

We had an awesome time too! Definitely think about 8 Tuff Miles- SUCH an amazing time. A summer gathering is a GREAT idea! Painkiller weather.....
