**Calling all DALLAS/FW forum peeps**

[msgcolleen]

O.K.~ We are really bummed that we can't be at Rick G.'s Mad Fox Virginia forum gathering in October so we are getting the Texas folks back together for a fall forum gathering to carry on that STJ island spirit!

What do you DFW forumites think about Friday, October 22 at 7 p.m. at Babe's Chicken Dinner House in either Carrollton, Frisco or Garland?? I think we can reserve a group table and guess what? BYOB or BYOW or like SOonthebeach says BYOPK! (Bring your own Painkillers!!)

Let us know what y'all think! www.babeschicken.com

That sounds like fun. Put us down to be there.

[Pianogrl]

Sounds GREAT!!! I'll double check but I think that will be good for us. Love Babe's!!! Thanks Colleen for getting this together!

[SOonthebeach]

We're in! We'll BYOPK (with more to share) and the kiddos! I'm open for any of the locations, but I bet Frisco or Carrollton will be better for most of the group. Thoughts, guys?

By the way- another reason to celebrate- that day is Colleen's birthday!

Yea- another gathering- fun! Thanks for organizing Colleen!

[Pianogrl]

Just confirming.....we're in!! Yea!
Do ya'll realize this will be the 4th gathering of our DFW/VIOL friends? That's awesome!!

[rpplano]

October 21st? Colleen's Birthday? Do we run her through a belt-line or just wear goofy hats?

Or... we all eat chicken in Ruth's honor? (safe bet)

[msgcolleen]

Ha-ha-ha! Thanks SOonthebeach blabber mouth!! (JJ)

I'll be celebrating my b-day a little early on island so no need to make a fuss on the 22nd! Just hoping we can all make it to hear about all of our latest trips and wish rpplano and pianogrl a great voyage on their trip back! (no fair)

Any-hoo~
So glad that Mr. & Mrs. JohnLMBZ06 can make it along with rpplano & pianogrl and the SOonthebeach family!

I know there are many more STJ lovin' Texans out there that need to come join us!

Oh, and on the location: I have only been to the one in downtown Carrollton. Funky, laid back atmosphere!
I don't care which one we go to but will need to make the reservation mid Sept. once we figure out location and headcount. (12 so far)

Looking forward to the fun and yes we will eat chicken and do the chicken dance in Ruth's honor!

I'll bring the video camera! I bet CariBert can do a killer chicken dance!

Not sure what kind of dance the VA crowd should do, but if the beer is flowing who knows! Grab your video camera too Jo Ann!!

Mr TexasMermaid & I will be at a wedding rehearsal dinner that night - darn it! Y'all eat some fried chicken or chicken fried steak for us, mkay?

Love us some Babe's but love the STJ crowd more - sorry we're going to miss this one! Have a great time and we'll try to catch the next one.

[msgcolleen]

We'll miss you guys & hope to see you at the next shindig~

Colleen, I was SO excited to read your posting ..........until.........I checked my calendar and realized we have a prior commitment that night. I am really bummed that we will have to miss this gathering but will look forward to the next one! Have fun!
