I have a Facebook (there is also an XMTS Facebook page). I do have a MySpace page, but really don't use it. I haven't personally done anything like that, so I'm not sure how well it works to drum up interest. I have hoped that the D/FW group could start to be more active like some of the other groups on XMTS who have regular outings (there wouldn't have to be one particular "meeting" place either, since we're spread out over such a big area).

I think, too, that just trying to plan regular gatherings from here and getting out will hopefully get the others active again. I know I've had one kilt day type thing I've wanted to do for a while but I just haven't had the chance to get it rolling yet. People get so busy and then it's hard to organize. There will also be the opportunity to get even more members to join up while we're out and if we ever get a D/FW group page.

Maybe that's something we can chat about as we start getting together for kilt nights and see what all we want to do to organize a bit better

Wolfhawk, thanks for taking an interest in getting things rolling and checking into some things. By the way, you didn't have any issues with fires in your area did you? I heard on my weather radio that there was one near Weatherford.

Yes, there were lots of fires out this way. There were a HUGE fire near where I use to live (3 miles away) near Lake Weatherford. We are not out of the woods yet. It is someone starting some of the fires out this way, on purpose. Some were accidents, some on purpose.

I set up a poll to figure when we can meet. I would suggest that we have three - One in Fort Worth, One in Dallas, and one in the Mid Cities. Rotate months, that way every place gets 4 times in a year. I am not suggesting the Flyuing Saucer is the only or best place, but I had to pick some pleace to suggest and I am there 2 or more times a week anyway.

The 1st poll will find out days and you can vote for multiple days.

The second will help with location. I want to get this going so we can be able to meet at least once a month for some "face time".

Well, I hope things calm down soon with the fires, and that there isn't too much damage from it

Christopher and I might take a day or so to reply to the polls to give it some thought and see what the options are. Just fyi!

Hawk, Hope you guys are ok out there. There's smoke from it here in Dallas! I like your ideas and nominate you our Texas kilted leader! Lol. Seriously though, it only takes us doing it. I moved here from AZ and those guys get together all the time in kilt nights. We can/should too. Today, more kilted gatherings in Texas...tomorrow, the world. MoooHahaha. Sorry, it's Friday and I'm digging it.
