Dallas / Ft. Worth area -- anyone want to help organize?

[Sherry]

Sherry,
Have you ever BEEN to West Texas? LOL... 3 hrs to Lubbock, 5 to Amarillo, 6 to El Paso, 5 to SanAntonio, 3 to Midland/Odessa, 2 to SanAngelo, 3 to Dallas/FtWorth, 6 to Texarkana, 3 to Waco, 3 to Witchita Falls, 7 to Houston....

Abilene may have 120 000 people but we are in the MIDDLE of nowhere!

And my kilted friend here just got transferred to the Pentagon, so although there are a couple of guys I see kilted for piping or special occasions, I'm the only guy at the pub. Gets old. (But I have a few on the fence 'converts' I'm working on. heh, heh)

Besides, getting in a car and driving to a social event every month or two is pretty much Standard Op. for us out here. Networking is the norm.

Anybody else here from the edge of the world?

Yeah, Scotty, I've been in that general direction--but I was always just passing through! One time on my way to Taos, the other times to Colorado. :-) We camped at Palo Duro Canyon, & that place is so beautiful it makes me cry.

We are going to the Smithfield Fair concert Friday night, & all my men will be kilted! :grin: There will be quite a few other kilted men there, as well. Any of you guys going to be there? I'd love to meet you & introduce you around.

I'm more a beach and woods guy myself. Palo Duro just makes me think of dust storms and being thirsty. LOL

<--------jealous SIGH. Unfortunately, my Monday night class got resched'd to Friday this week, so while you guys are having fun, I'll be nose in book and listening to student presentations. GROAN. Wish I could be there, but maybe next time round.

We'll miss you. :sad:

It looks like SF may very well have to have someone from the community put them up--we have so many evacuees here SF's accomodations are iffy.
