Liz and I would love to come meet with everyone, but unfortunately I don't think we will be able to this week.
Liz is driving home from Houston this afternoon and has tons of grading to do. She has classes Tues and Wed nights, and then she is going to FL Thursday to help Maureen with all of MarkC5's affairs.
As for me, my job on Wednesday and Thursday is promising at least 14 hour days (probably even more than that on Thursday).
Ya'll have fun without us.

Nope, I thought you were talking about this week.

In that case, we might be able to make it. I will talk to Liz about it tonight.

How about Wednesday night at Cooper's in Fort Worth at 6pm.

Can everyone make that night and location?

It seems to be a more central location for everyone driving in DFW.






MrPeabody and vtelvr google Billy Bob's (worlds largest Honky Tonk) in Fort Worth. Cooper's BBQ is located next to it!

I will do some research on a driving route to try and get you around all the construction going on in DFW.

That works for us. Mrs. Peabody will be with me. Possibly my BIL and his wife, too. I'll let you know more on that later after I talk to them. I'm assuming it wouldn't be difficult to add a few more to the reservation with a few day's notice? Looking forward to meeting you all. (or is that y'all?)

We will be coming from Colleyville, about 18-19 miles from Billy Bob's.

I know that Thursday night is off the books for us. Otherwise, we are open. That is subject to change, but if there is a meet Wednesday night, we could make that happen. However, if her training goes til 5pm, we may be a few minutes late to the party...Don't wait on us, but keep the beer cold!

We're going to go to the Stockyards that day, then over to Coopers to meet up.

It shows that Coopers is 28(ish) miles away from the Gaylord Texan where we are staying in Grapevine...any locals want to confirm this? Just want to make sure that we actually end up in the right place...

Yes that is about right. I'm working on a route that will get you around the least amount of construction.

Coming from south fort worth its about a 26 miles for me and the ones that live west have about the same on miles.

MrPeabody is just south west of were your going to be so his drive will be about 18 to 20 miles.

The miles/distance aren't an issue unless we are talking 50+ one way....then we reach an amount that is difficult because of time constraints. We may be a few minutes late to the gathering, but we will be there, good Lord willing!

We should be okay because like I said we were going to go to the stockyards that day, so we will be right there. Also my brother in law will be driving us and he knows his way around. If anyone can't be there for the dinner meeting, we were planning to check out Billy Bob's afterward. Since we have a designated driver, this could get dangerous.

We may be up for a little Billy Bob's too...just may not be able to make it a real late night...just like the locals as well...I assume.

Reservations!

Dude you just get in line, order up (be sure to tell them you are a first timer and remember there is more food selections (sandwiches and such) inside) and then go grab a bench. One of about 100 available 6 person tables!!!!

Wish we could make it, but its 80 miles round trip for us. And going down is rush hours. You guys have fun!

Here is a website with good traffic info to help you get around while your here.

There is construction all over DFW right now.


Dallas/Fort Worth Traffic Conditions.

http://dfwtraffic.dot.state.tx.us/#m...065%2C10%29%3B


Try to avoid were 820 and I35W intersect. Backups on I35W both ways there are crazy right now!

Yeah, I've since gone on their web site and I can see it's a casual place. I got hungry just looking at the pictures of the food. Looks like a great place. Sorry you can't make it, maybe we'll meet another time.

So, who is planning on coming?
