I was there...um...yesterday. Back up in Fort Worth again. I need to holler at you people next time the Soccer Clan invades SA.

Don't go there. I've heard the methane level is super high.

I have a wedding Saturday evening but it should be done by 8:00 and I could probably use an excuse to cut out on the reception. I usually avoid the Riverwalk but I could make an exception in this case. Durty Nellie's is fun. We could always do the Quarry - J. Alexander's if we wanted something quieter with easy parking.

I've only been to Durty Nellie's once. Fun, but yeah, a bit raucous for an initial meet & greet. I might have a performance on Saturday night. Not sure yet. I think it may have been cancelled. Gosh I'm out of the loop of my own life... anyhow, I'll be back with confirmation...

Somewhere else works for me. I just picked Durty Nelly's because it's walking distance from the hotel (Westin on the Riverwalk.)

I'm sure we can think of somewhere.
Oh, and I verified my gig was cancelled, so I'm good to go... |

Williebee, do you have a car? If not, we could choose a Riverwalk location. If you do, I'd say let's avoid downtown.
If you have a car, I'd recommend the Quarry on 281 about 10 mins from downtown. There are several good restaurants with bars there. Otherwise, Alamo Cafe on I10 might be okay. I'd say Fox & Hound at DeZevala & 10 but it gets crowded on Saturday nights. Any other suggestions? |

Can you send us a life-sized cardboard cutout for Saturday night with a white board on the bottom that says "Maryn - " and we can fill in the quotes of what you would say?

We could meet at the Caliza Grille in the Westin Hotel and either hang out there or venture out. Here's a list of restaurant / bars on the Riverwalk. Personally I wouldn't mind the hotel bar.

Okay, good ... once the time/place is set, I'll PM you my cell info, and we'll line up the pick up time.

The hotel bar is ok by me. It shouldn't be nuts until the next night. (Thousands of teacher geeks descending on the convention center.)

So let's plan on meeting at the bar in the Westin between 8:30 and 9:00 and we can hang out there for a while and venture out later if we want to. I'll probably only be able to hang out an hour or two. I'll PM you guys my cell.
I'm trying to think of anyplace downtown that has shuffleboard . . . |

Wish I could...I already had plans for tonight, though.
Y'all have fun.
