I'm usually pretty happy after one margarita.

Though you seem to be much more enjoyable when you're in the usual mood: sarcastic and full of one liners.
OK, someone pick a day and time.
Paul, you're back from Tel Aviv?
Prefferably mid-June?
I pick a weekday evening....happy hour time, when the drinks are cheap. We can count all the poele on Main St. Anyway, I'm up for a weekday after work because that's when most people do mixers and because you might find a better turnout. Weekends are so hard.
How about a weekday in the first week of June? OK, I'll be upfront, that's my b-day week and I didn't choose those days in a cheap plea for gifts from people I don't know. Merely that I'll be in carousal -- and, at this age, served with a large helping of denial -- mode all week and might as well kill two birds with one stone.
Sure Harry.....but only because it's your birthdayHow about a weekday in the first week of June?

This brings up an awkward "Curb Your Enthusiasm" moment: do we bring a gift or not?

Of course not. But it does give me an excuse to be extra happy.
But that's what everyone says.Of course not.

So are we meeting up next week? Iron Cactus or somewhere else?
Is it next week or the follwing?
“We shape our Cities, thereafter they shape us.”
Wednesday is the only day that would work for me next week- otherwise I'm booked on every other night. The following week I am open on Monday and Tuesday evening, possibly Wednesday.
If we did a Wednesday, we can watch the free concert too.
I like the Iron Cactus idea.
I will be there.
So it sounds like Wedensday June 2 at the Iron Cactus. How many takers?
“We shape our Cities, thereafter they shape us.”
I'll go. What time?
I'm in so now my week is full. What are y'all wearing? How will I know you? I'll be the tall, sexy blonde with lucious full lips and and sultry smile, in a mini-skirt with long legs and 6 inch heels.....you can't miss me!
Sorry TG...that is my description...lol jk
I'd say casual...or whatever you wear to work...whatever...it does not really matter.
Shall we say 6:00 or 6:30?
“We shape our Cities, thereafter they shape us.”
This is what I look like..
Dallas uber alles
6 or 6:30 sounds good. I'm in.
I look exactly like my avatar.
LOL...funny cc
“We shape our Cities, thereafter they shape us.”
Well I would love to be there, unfortunetly I'm working that night...the only days off I have are on Sundays or Mondays.
I'll be there. Play hooky, Crescentboi
And, yes, how indeed will we know each other since Iron Cactus has become a veritable Grand Central Station of hip, trendy, gorgeous people? How will I distinguish the gorgeous dallasmetropolis crew from the rest? It's like South Beach without palm trees down there.
Here are some of us: http://forum.dallasmetropolis.com/sh...&postcount=158
Perhaps we can make reservations or something for a group of...just need to know the headcount
“We shape our Cities, thereafter they shape us.”
Yes, if there's a reserved table(s) that would solve the wandering-around-in-vain-wondering-which-drunkards-are-your-drunkards problem. Maybe we should say everyone who's interested should post by, what, the morning of June 1 and the reservation could be made that day?
I wish I weren't stuck in Huntsville.
Oh I forgot to tell you........I am terrible with faces- good with names and dates- but terrible with faces. That's why I'll make such a great politician, because I can always nod and smile at people and shake their hand and talk and look interested in what they are saying........until they go, "why are you looking at me like that? You know who I am, right? I'm your neighbor, you know the one who does your lawn every two weeks?"
That's a true story but what's worse is I ran into Asst. City Manager Ryan Evans- been to his office plenty of times, been in meetings with him, see his picture all the time okay, so it's not like I don't know what the guy looks like- and he started talking to me and I looked all confused and finally I said, "I'm sorry, have we met?" And he sorta blinked a few times and said, "Um, yeah I'm the Asst. City Manager, um and uh...." And I said, "Oh sure Ryan Evans, I know you, I'm just terrible with faces." He said that he wished he had that problem. Really, it's a curse.
I'll wear a stinkin' name so y'all look for me. It wil read: "trolleygirl"
I'll be there.
So far, it looks like 9 people have said they're going to Iron Cactus Wednesday, 6-ish. I'll wait until late Tuesday and make reservations:
Psukhu
TrolleyGirl
gc
CTroyMathis
Columbus Civil
Texas Star
Jack Flack
Zigwamo

AUGH. augh augh augh augh augh augh augh augh augh augh augh augh augh. i wish i could go. ><. cripe.
[ xvisionx.com 13 - my photo gallery + journal ] - be sure to check out my new interactive downtown dallas picture map.
I can't believe I'm going to miss this because of my stupid brother.
Oh, hey wait a minute.
I'm a bit far away from Dallas right now. Count me out, Harry. I DO wish I could be there - especially considering all the new (to me) faces I could meet.
As much as I'd like to slam numerous beverages down w/all...oh, and eat and talk - I'm going to have to just "hear 'bout it" from you all. But, whenever I get back to town, I want to go to trolleygirl's hangout for a meet-up. That and/or a few other places.
I never said I was going.
Dallas uber alles
Sure, I'll be there.
Sorry. I thought you'd said you were going. So is that a definite no? Maybe?
Sounds like 10 may be a good rround number...
“We shape our Cities, thereafter they shape us.”
I'd like to go...whether or not I show up will depend on how I'm feeling.
Dallas uber alles
Iron Cactus update: They don't take reservations but, for parties of 10 or more, they advise to call about an hour ahead of when we plan to show up. So I'll call again tomorrow (Wed.), 5-ish, and tell them it's a group of 10, and it will be under my real first name (Cary).
Seems like a wacky way to run a restaurant business but whatever.
Nice work.
“We shape our Cities, thereafter they shape us.”
So why isn't your handle CaryMoto?
Dallas uber alles
Harry Carrey? Heey! If you were a hot dog...
Harry Moto is the protagonist in one of my favorite novels, " A Separate Development," by South African writer Christopher Hope.
For those of you who want to hang out for a bit tonight and chit chat with other forumers, we are meeting in downtown at The Iron Cactus at 6:30pm. Hope to see many of you there.
“We shape our Cities, thereafter they shape us.”
Well, since I just got back in from Atlanta early this AM, I will be needing some REAL food............and I have to report that I'm happy to be home.
Atlanta sucks.
Atlanta sucks? Interesting you say that as people always seem to be making comparisons among Atlanta, Dallas and Denver (regional power centers, major airports, convention towns, etc.) Why did you hate it so?
Anyway, topic: if I'm a little late to the shindig tonight (coming from FW; possibility of more t-storms), don't be afraid to get the party started without me. (But I'm sure you didn't need to be reminded of that.)
And, once again, the table should be under the name "Cary"
Ask me later tonight why I feel this animosity towards Atlanta.
Something you'd rather not say in public?
just long and off-topic on this thread and should go to another thread somwhere else.
