I am going to be up at the Starbucks on North Beach and Western Center next Saturday night around 7:30 - 8:00 and wanted to know is some DFW 8s wanted to meet up there. I will be up there for awhile so come on out. I finally get some time and want to meet some of you guys/gals. Let me know if you can make it!

Later,

Chris - Jenkins Crew

 

I dont know where that is, but I am planning to go to Holiday in the Park on Saturday. I might be around if you can tell me how to get there.

i should be there for sure...i am almost positive i don't work. lets see who all will show up.

oh and aggietiff28, it is located off of loop 820 near North richland hills and watauga. just head North on Beach St. off of 820 and look for the starbucks about 2 miles up on the left.accross from the sonic.

 

Yeah what he said

 

I would love to meet ya'll this weekend, but I'll be in Chicago visiting the family. Darn... finally something close and I won't be in town. =(

 

I was supposed to be in chicago this weekend too! Weird, but i'm not going. Family is coming here instead. You from chicago?

 

That is weird! Originally from Chicago, yes. Moved here in 1990 so spent most of my growing-up years here. Wouldn't move back if you paid me, but love to visit. Miss Portillo's and Gino's. Are you from Chicago or the burbs?

 

The burbs.. Long Grove to be exact. Moved to TX in 97. Went to tech for 4.5 years in 98 and got back to dallas december 02.

I miss portillos and ginos too.. and malnatis and bob chinns.. and and and all the other good food. You ever notice that chicago people always miss the chicago food??? Lol. Why do you think we go to BJs every thursday. It's the only place we (I) can get chicago style pizza w/o orderring it on dry ice from malnatis (you can order portillos the same way... www.loutogo.com)

Small world, eh?

 

Man, it is a small world. I grew up in Itasca/WoodDale area. My sister is going to Tech right now and I graduated from UTA in December 02. Is there a meeting this Thursday at BJ's? What time does the group usually leave? I may be able to make it if it breaks up by 9pm or so. I would LOVE to finally put some faces with these names. It's just hard to do being in FW.

 

ACK! I would join in but I'm scheduled to be in Alavarado that Saturday for some family time. However, I might be back before 6 or 7 and would like to be put down as a "maybe".

DeBug

 

We leave between 9 and 11 depending on how many show up. I'm off thursday and friday so I'll prolly be stayin out later than usual. So yes, there's a meeting. 7:30pm, thursday, BJ's addison.

And to put some faces with some names:

Here's a really bad picture of (from left to right) Irish, Rx8-TX and myself:

6405 N Beach St?

 

damn...i never knew there was a golf course right there. might have to go play that sometime when the weather is a little nicer.

also when i start working and have some money and gas to blow i'm gonna try to make it out to BJ's after the holidays. seems like i will have to drive across town to meet or hang out with other 8's.

 

The RX7 guys used to hang out every thursday in downtown fort worth at citystreets. That's why I picked addison to begin with. We used to do bonedaddy's but that was too far out of the way for alot of the guys.

 

I'm with you Mr. Ed, I was thinkin Addison soon too. But I would like to try to start something closer. Our 8's aren't to cheap on gas :D Will probably do Addison Every once in awhile.

 

Yep, That's the Spot. When I used to be in a car club we always met up there!

 

Do you guys have a place in mind? Since we already have a first saturday meeting, how bout like a third saturday meeting somewhere out that way? I dunno what you want to do weekly, but we do have people driving all the way from irving and rowlett to hang out in addison. I agree, gas isnt cheap, but we all make do. I spend prolly 150 a month on gas alone and it's worth every penny.

 

I wouldn't say 3 nice 8s with cute guys standing next to them is a bad picture at all, Ajax. I was hoping to make it BJ's on Thursday, but it doesn't look like that's going to work out. If something was closer <ahem--Jenkins> I'd be all over that like white on rice.

 

LOL. We're not all that cute :b

Anyway, maybe next week (assuming there's any desire to have a meet the week of xmas..)

My only problems with going to a starbucks out in ft worth area are 1. that it's in fort worth :b and 2 that i just kicked that habit, lol.

Anyway, if you guys can come up with a place you'd like to meet regularly, we can certainly drive out that way once in a while. I'm always up to hang out with like minded individuals (rotary owners) and meet a few new ones.

 

I'm willing to meet next week. My x-mas family time came early this year so I'll be in town.

 

what about southlake or maybe grapevine??? main event in grapevine has some good parking lot space to meet up. like i said i should be able to make it buy this saturday over at Beach but the more we centralize this the more 8's we can get here!

if it was possible to meet at another bar i would say red Robin in grapevine. that is still about a 20 minute drive for me. addison is about an hour to go get a beer and hang out.

 

Addison is 20 minutes for me whereas grapevine is close to an hour. Why on earth did you texans have to have such a huge state?!

 

I wouldn't mind Main Event in Grapevine, I used to meet there al the time too, what is in between where yall are and FW? I don't mind being reasonable. :D

 

Grapevine would work for me. Much closer than Addison. I think we can go as east as Texas Stadium area and be about half-way between FW and the North Dallas area. I bought my car near there and it was a 45 min drive.

 

i'm down for main event! i'm up there for Texas Hold'em poker!!!
