dang it, i spoke to soon.


this is what you get when you dont consult your calendar(s - yes i have 5 ones i have to manage, and my biggest one is in my signature) and im scheduled to be on shift that day. So anyone have any other dates that look good. If it comes down on the 28th i will just do a schedule switch so i can come

[Victoria]

Oh wow! Y'all rock! Thank you!!



Whatever date y'all settle on, I'll be there!

Don't forget to bring goodies for a box or two to send over to BeachJunkie! He'll distribute it all to the peeps.

2/28 looks ok for me - don't know SWMBO's schedule yet - but I still have my solo HH card. (so far)

[WreckWench]

Not sure if I can be there or not...I have been flirting with the idea of doing the MN show and had not seen this post. Of course you all do not need me...but of course I would love to be there.

I will try to decide asap if I"m doing the MN show or the Boston Show. Thanks! kamala

No problem, guys. We're in the planning stages! Let's get the suggestions rolling so we can firm up a date, and put it in the newsletter. Do ya'll typically do Friday or Saturday night for a HH? Do you have a regular HH planner? Don't wanna step on any toes! We can set up a poll on this topic with several dates, and everyone can vote on their "top 2".

Ms. Wench, what would a Dallas HH be without you? You first -- what dates look most favorable for your calendar in March?

[tdtexas]

Hey everybody! How about a Dallas Happy Hour event? Scubatooth suggested Feb. 28 in another thread, to help Victoria celebrate her graduation and change of venue to that area. My calendar looks clear for that weekend, so I'd either fly in or drive down.

Who else is ready for some fun with SD? We'll need the locals to suggest locations and times, and we could all bring a little something for the Operation Care & Share packages.

Who's in?

Check out The Cadillac Ranch in Las Colinas (old Bahama Breeze). Great side bar with atmosphere.

Sounds good to me. Lookee, y'all! Half-priced wine on Saturday nights!

Will we see you there, tdtexas?

Looks like a good date for me.

[Victoria]

Cool beans! I'm hoping to meet as many of the DFW area members as I can!

I'm also going to drag along two friends of mine who are from the Plano/Mckinney area, who I used to work with in College Station, and who are both buddyless divers (but not yet SD members.....

[ScubaPunk]

I think I might be able to make the trip if you do it on the 28th.

[Landlocked Dive Nut]

That would be awesome, Sandy! It will be good to see you again.

Nobody has suggested any other dates.....are we going with Feb. 28th, everybody??

[TXGypsy]

The 28th works for me. Will it be at the Cadillac Ranch?? I'm in! Looking forward to seeing everyone and meeting some new folks as well.

[Sherr752]

Count me in! Just let me know the time and place.

[WreckWench]

BUMMER...still not sure I can make it. Will let you all know as soon as I do.
