| Re: Texas Posted: 9/23/2004 12:16:00 PM | | i am new at this stuff and i was wondering if anyone wanted to meet and see what happened you can check out my profile. If you have yahoo you can im me my names on there are angelarburnett or joker . | |

| Determined to Go in Texas Posted: 10/2/2004 4:34:30 PM | Hey you guys! Lots and lots of talk about meeting in varying places in Texas. I've heard Dallas, Austin, even southern Oklahoma!
Maybe we're just waiting for someone to grab the bull by the horns. I saw where somebody in Vegas or someplace just said, I got it! And ran with it...
Here's the deal. I live in Austin. Even for those in Dallas, Ft. Worth, Arlington, s. OK, that probably wouldn't be a bad trip. We're a good central location. If everyone can come to Austin, I'll agree to go ahead and work with POF to coordinate the event! Now I can't pay for it, but I can sure organize it. Have done lots of small events in the past!
Are enough game to take me up on it? And of course, if there are one or two in Austin who want to help, I won't refuse it. We can make it a holiday party either in mid-November or early-December. I'll slate out some weekends, and we'll just pick 'em and go! All you Dallas guys and gals! Would you be willing to come to Austin? | |

| Determined to Go in Texas Posted: 10/3/2004 6:54:36 AM | | I would go to Austin, when do the ice storms season start anyway? I sure wont drive in that! | |
|
| Determined to Go in Texas Posted: 10/3/2004 2:34:36 PM | LMAO.... "ice storms".... possibly crystallized mosquito repellant making the roads slick?
(or a thin layer of armadillo paste?)
Hey, I'm down for Austin in mid-November... the only thing hindering the ability of the moderators to help is the fact that they all seem to be from Canada. Saturday would be an obvious choice... maybe the 13th or 20th? There's a gazillion places on 6th street, pretty much just pick one and call 'em. What's that place, upstairs from Katz', next to Ninfa's, a little past Congress (headed west on the N. side of the street?)
I have no messaging restrictions (and I get a notice in my yahoo when I get a msg on POF) -- for reasons like this -- so y'all please send a note if the idea of something like this interests ya. (and yes there are plenty of ppl from TX here in the forums!)

| Determined to Go in Texas Posted: 10/3/2004 6:09:51 PM | we don't get much ice here in Austin... certainly not as early as november or december. even dallas holds off until jan or feb it seems.
you're right, bart... plenty of places to go. we've even got a guy on here that manages one of them. just need to know if we can get enough interest. | |
|
| Determined to Go in Texas Posted: 10/4/2004 4:53:34 AM | Sounds like a plan to me, but Austin???? I hate Austin LOL just kidding. Has to be downtown Ft. Worth. Great place to party...
Keep it in

| Determined to Go in Texas Posted: 10/4/2004 11:00:06 AM | | I have 1600 people within 75 miles of austin, and 2700 people within 75 miles of dallas. It would be hard to plan an event there as there aren't enough people yet. Maybe in 3 months i will have double the members there and i could hold a big event. | |
|
| Determined to Go in Texas Posted: 10/4/2004 2:39:40 PM | | Hi admin! See my note in your inbox. You need over 3000 then to get the kind of numbers you want at a local event? Just let me know when you're ready to go... | |
|
| Determined to Go in Texas Posted: 10/5/2004 3:45:03 PM | oh so we should do it in Dallas then, closer to me, of course it would be better! | |
|
| |
| Determined to Go in Texas Posted: 10/8/2004 12:23:47 PM | | well sure. it looks like we've got enough in either town to do it both places. like i said, if anyone's interested, i'll be the coordinator for an austin party. wanna have one in dallas? go ahead. but one's got nothing to do with the other. texas is TOO big to have a "texas party!" i was just askin' that if we had one in austin first, would the folks in dallas or san antonio or houston consider coming. that's it. | |
|
| Determined to Go in Texas Posted: 10/8/2004 2:44:57 PM | | Eh, I might go to an Austin party, but that would require a little extra effort since I'd have to make sure I had the day off, etc. | |
|
| Determined to Go in Texas Posted: 10/11/2004 6:08:18 PM | | I could be interested in a get together. I could do either Austin or Dallas (or even my hometown here in Houston) but really prefer Austin over Dallas. I do think Austin is the most central area and could draw more people from other cities than Dallas or Houston. Plus there are Houstonians that avoid DFW and thos from DFW that avoid Houston, less animosity towards Austin I think for those that don't already reside in the area. | |

| Determined to Go in Texas Posted: 10/15/2004 10:59:05 AM | Great offer Indian!! What do you guys think? Aside from an "officially sanctioned" POF sponsored event, there's nothing to stop us from just deciding to get together one evening at Indian's place. Even if there's only 5 of us, at least it's a start, no?
I can't do thursdays or fridays because my son plays football, but pretty much any other night of the week is good...
What do you say we just do it? C'mon Texans/Austinites, let's hear your vote!! | |
|
| Austin is cool Posted: 10/15/2004 10:11:55 PM | Its the most centric town... 3 hours to Dallas, 2 to houston (if you drive fast) and 1 hour san antone.
Whats the clubthere Indian? I was at SPILL last weekend, pretty cool place (though I'm an Aggie) I left with ag ood impression of 6th street. BTW the OMNI hotel kicks major a***.
Anyhoo, MODs? Austin may only have like 1600 around it, but people driving in from other cities would be substantial if it was POF sanctioned i think...
my 2 cents  | |
|
| Austin is cool Posted: 10/16/2004 3:44:35 PM | It's called gatsbys, but we are changing the name to r-bar sometime in the next week or so. we're right between treasure island and the library. come on down. | |
|
| Austin is cool Posted: 10/16/2004 3:45:37 PM | | going to dallas sun for the game. I haven't been there in years. | |
|
| Texas Posted: 10/27/2004 10:34:39 AM | | I'm in Austin also, that would be great to have a big party here. ADMIN. what is all detailed in these functions that you have? What is the need for all the people? | |
|
| Determined to Go in Texas Posted: 10/28/2004 11:21:42 AM | | I don't know about every one else but that is a heck of a lot of people for a party.. How are we doing on this anyway. Personally I find Dallas a great place to party. | |
|
| Determined to Go in Texas Posted: 10/28/2004 5:09:18 PM | Well I am more partial to Ft Worth than Dallas, tho Austin rocks! Was there last Valentines weekend, it even snowed!! Austin is a great town and the stockyards in Ft Worth are a real party place, Dallas scares me tho...probably cuz I havent spent alot of time there in any capacity, easy to get lost in Dallas.
 | |
|
| Determined to Go in Texas Posted: 10/28/2004 5:37:15 PM | | Well, I damit with the construction around 635 and 75 it can get confusing really quick, but Dallas is a really good place to have fun. You just have to know where you're going. | |
|
| All Right Austin, Let's Do It! Posted: 10/29/2004 9:57:49 PM | Next Tuesday evening (November 2) after work 409 E. Sixth Street at the R Bar (formerly Gatsby's) in downtown Austin between Treasure Island and the Library. Hey it's election day, there will be plenty to talk about!
Indian, can you set aside a little space? Email me a note with your contact details so I and any members of the group can find you!
If you're coming, please give us a post, or send me a note. I'll give Indian an idea of how many are coming. Thanks all! | |
