Thanksgiving Weeked...Dallas.

post #1 of 44
Thread Starter 
Hastur, her boytoy, and I are going to be in Dallas for Itzacon ( <a href="http://www.phoenix-entertainment.net/itzacon4/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.phoenix-entertainment.net/itzacon4/index.html</a> ) on Thanksgiving Weekend. We'll be staying at the DFW Hyatt (where the con is) Thurs thru Sun.

Come one, come all. Put face and body language to the posters! Play one of Hastur's mental floss games (Bullet scenarios)! Dodge Coyote's camera of Doom! Force Kitty & Shelby to finally meet each other!

post #5 of 44
Plans are not confirmed yet, but I have every intention of being there.

Oh, and Cap'n? Hardy har har. James Hetfield plays rhythm guitar. Sheesh. wink

Reservations made.

So if you have any reservations about meeting us, put them away. We've made arrangements.
post #9 of 44
It looks like the only day I'll be able to get away is on Saturday. How is that looking for everyone else?
post #10 of 44
Saturday is good.

I was going to suggest Friday night, but Sat night will work...although we may be dragging you people back for the Radio Free Oz dance around 10 or 11.

What time we looking at (roughly)?
Kitty, Katanga, email me your contact numbers. As soon as we know which cell number we'll be using, I'll tell you (my old, klunk, cheap phone vrs Andrew's rather nice but not yet turned back on Verizon phone).

Who else is going, eh? I know the good General will be off defending people from turkeys in another city, but I don't know about the other folks in Dallas and surrounding environs.
Somebody wake up Hicks...er, Shelby....
post #12 of 44
THIS JUST IN!!!

I will be driving back Saturday morning, and thus, be free Saturday night in Dallas.

Hit generallogan@hotmail.com if need be.

And there was MUCH REJOICING!
(yay!)

(BTW, I'm leaving it up to Kitty and Katanga to organize with anyone else to trek up to the hotel, or if we're meeting somewhere in town, with one or both of them coming up to grab the 3 of us from the hotel. If this isn't doable, we can arrange something else...I do know Dallas and can probably direct Andrew (who's driving) there. But coordinating Dallas folk should probably go to someone IN Dallas wink )

I was thinking we should meet up @ The Londoner in Addison. It's centrally located...close to 635...and not a bad little joint. From there we can plot to wreak mayhem elsewheres.

And it's somewhere I haven't been wink

We used to hold our cons in Addison, til we got too big.

Well... I'm in Lewisville, about 12 minutes from the airport...

But I can do the Addison thing.

Somebody run down the confirmed Chewer list in attendance for me, eh?
post #17 of 44
Coyote, Hastur, Kittyinjammies, Yours Truly, and...I think Bag O'Donuts is entertaining out of towners but will make a concerted effort to attend...or at least throw something at us from a moving vehicle.
post #18 of 44
Mkay...

What's up with Shelby? As for Bag O'donuts, the bastard could break away for coffee...

I am willing to pick people up and what not, but am at a loss for navigating for any downtown festivities... just FYI.

Coyote, anyone else needing phone # and so forth that don't have it, let me know.
post #19 of 44
I will make an appearance, since Addison is convenient for me. Not that that's the only reason...
post #20 of 44
I'll be there, just not sure what time. I need to get the ex to take the kids. I sent Coyote my contact number, will probably send it to Katanga, also.

I'm in Carrollton, so Addison is convenient to me, also.

Shelby is doing family stuff and will get the big guilt trip thing laid on her if she comes to see the extended one wink (Actually, she's really doing family stuff and can't make THIS one, but wants to do the meet in Feb)

Andrew, Hastur's Boytoy (who I think is Alexander Campion on the boards, but mostly lurks) is also coming. Of course, if he hears me refering to him as Hastur's Boytoy, he may be leaving me in Dallas....
post #22 of 44
I'll get everyone a map to the joint soon as I can.

So, is anyone actually picking us up at DFW Hyatt on Sat night?
(Note: I just confirmed that if anyone wants to hit the dance at ItzaCon afterwards, it shouldn't be a problem getting anyone in. Radio Free Oz throws kickass dances; if you've been to a con dance before and found them pathetic, this is a whole nuther world. If nobody wants to head back, ok, no biggie, but the option is there.)
post #25 of 44
My vehicle only seats one(+driver), I'm afraid. Though, my trunk is spacious and clean.
post #26 of 44
I'll have to pass on the dance, I have to collect my children. Sorry, though, sounds fun.
post #27 of 44
Let me confirm the time.

I might be able to pick you up.
post #28 of 44
I am still planning my trip to see family in Oklahoma, but due to restrictions, I may be back Friday night instead, or not go up there at all.

So if anything, I am equally or more available as I was in the last post. Some might question why I added this post at all...

Oh well.
post #29 of 44
Alright you characters...

Let's nail down a time...I guess it depends what time Coyote and crew leave the con.
post #30 of 44
I will be dropping my monsters off at five p.m.
post #31 of 44
I will be available any time Saturday evening. 5:00pm+ is fine by my punkass. Katanga and Bagodonuts have my number. Anyone else need it to be on the safe side?

When we leave the con is dependant on youse guys, because we live at the con. wink We're not actually leaving it until Sun.

Just talked to Kitty...plans are she picks us up about 5:30 from the airport Hyatt, and meet at the restaurant about 6pm Sat night.

She has to pick her kids back up at 8:30, so either we need to leave the restarunt about 7:30is, or someone else can volunteer to take us back...we may be running another one of Hastur's Bullet Scenarios (Live Action Game meets mental floss, this time via a game based off a story of mine you folks haven't read) at 9pm is anyone's interested. wink
post #33 of 44
I am offline as of right now for the rest of the weekend. Check With Katanga or Bagodounts if you guys need my number. Again, I am 15 min (tops) from the airport... if you get stuck or something.

See everyone Sat.
post #34 of 44
I got room for one in my car...no problem with giving one person a ride but three...that's just fucking sick.

And we're off....
We'll be staying at the DFW Hyatt 972 453 1234 , under either FITZPATRICK or FINN

And...we're here. Room 3022.
The Hyatt installed 2 interner computers in the lobby (ironically, where registration for Akon is supposed to be...this...um...isn't going to work.)...which means I'm sorta able to check in. The "sorta" is that once people start to arrive, trying to get a seat will be difficult.
But we're here.
post #37 of 44
I really enjoyed meeting you all for dinner. Way to show a girl a good time!

We'll have to do it again soon.
post #38 of 44
Had a good time also.

Knew Katanga and Bagodonuts fairly well from other gatherings, good to see you guys again.

As for the rest of you, it was nice to meet new Chewers, I have a fond memory of meeting each of you. I wasn't drinking, was I? No, it must be genuine respect then... heh.

Looking forward to ChudTejas, and I hope none of you were mortally offended by my carving your names in the table with my hunting knife.

Oh, that was after you left...

Hunting knife?
Is that what they call it these days?

Twas fun, if quick. Need to do it LONGER, next time. I mean, a quickie is all well and good, but sheesh wink
post #40 of 44
I enjoyed meeting the lot of you. General Logan, Tony Bag O Donuts...always fun.

I regret choosing the Londoner. I think ownership changed or something...it wasn't the same as the last time I visited there. Next time or at CHUDTejas...we'll do something better.

Whew! I am glad you said it. The Londoner sucked like a vaccuum cleaner with a black hole inside...

Addison sucks.
post #43 of 44
I like low key places, but I wasn't there long enough to get the full impact of this apparent suckitude.
post #44 of 44
Tony,

The Lakewood Landing. That's my kinda joint. I used to like the tipperary inn...but it's since gone the way of the frat boy magnet. ahhh well
