There's not really a TC night but we do have an occasional gathering. I'm out of town this week but if you post which night you're going to be in town I'm sure some of the locals will pop in if they can.

Which day(s) are you in Dallas? They have Mai Tais for $3, all day, Tuesday. It sounded like you meant later in the week than that, though.
Anyway, I might be able to meet you there, in Kenike's absence. Can any other locals make it?

I arrive on the 16th, hopefully the 15th if I can drive fast enough. My last night will be on the 20th, which is a Monday. Damn, I hate to miss that Tuesday. I'd love nothing better than to meet some local Dallas TCer's. I'll keep checking the thread.

Got a thing, earlier evening, so if I did, it'd be late... like, 10:00. Other nights (or happy hours), I'm pretty flexible.
I think telescopes said in another thread that he'd be at TV's on Fri nite, after visiting a place in the Stockyard's, earlier in the day. Maybe he could change to Sat nite, Kenike... or go two nites in a row?

Okay I might be able to do Friday.
Telescopes, what works best for you?

Kenike, I am thinking about dropping by Friday. In fact. Friday sounds great. What is a good time.

Perhaps my brother in law. I think I may leave my wife with the kids or who knows, she may pop in with me. I'll see you there. Any advice in terms of parking?

I usually just use the free valet and tip the guy a couple of bucks on the way out. Sometimes there's a few spots in the very back of the Palomar but that's a long way to stagger back...

I wouldn't say drastic. I've been whining about it here.
In a nutshell, it's losing the "escapism" factor. Even though the decor is incredible, the vibe isn't there anymore.

I'll try to be there in the 5-6 happy hour time frame, too. I'd especially recommend the valet parking, tonight, as it may be raining when you leave. See ya.

I can't wait to return to the Dallas TV. I got to see it last year for only a few moments... er, I mean drinks. I remember it being incredible and was upset with myself for forgetting my camera.
I am certainly looking forward to visiting with the Texas TCer's as well. If not even more.
