Title: dinner before school starts - (1.17.08 @ 6 - D&B)?
Post by: James.M on January 08, 2009, 04:36:10 PM
Hey guys, was wondering if ya'll wanted to get another dinner together before I start school... I'm not quite sure how much time I'll have after school starts.

I was hoping maybe something on the 17/18th day/weekend of? Including Lisa and Brian to attend!
I'm not quite sure where at, but I do know there's a new Dave & Busters in the arlington highlands area (if its even open yet).

Any takers?

we could go somewhere, where its quieter, then we would be the loudest... which would defeat the purpose of going someone quieter?

So how about Saturday-ish so no one has to work the following day?

D&B's is definately open. I went by there last weekend and it was buzzin.

I'm sure I'll be in for this one too. Provided they let in RED ducatis park there. But then again if they let cruisers park there I suppose I can come too.  ;D  [roll]

[bow_down]

I'd love to see if I could drag a knee on it!  ;D

Then again all I'd have to do would be to stand on the footboard and kneel down and just touch my knee. Then  take it off cruiser control, switch back on the AC unit and climb back in the saddle/couch.
No worries either on finding a spot to check my hair with all that chrome covering it. That's why I like the bike so much. That and I can take the whole family for a ride.  ;D ;D

All the talk on the Alert!! thread has me worried about parking in public with no safety anything.

At D&Busters, I plan to ride - I guess there is security in numbers?

Maybe we can park in front?

If I remember right, I went to a D&B's and there were no windows, so no keeping an eye on things.

Man that sux fastwin. Hope it's not like that too much of the time. That's about the worst pain there is I think. Except an eyelash under your contact lens of course. Get better soon!

I just got home from riding and need to clean up. So I'll be late getting there.  Forgot this started at 6.

Sure it hurts but what really hurts is when it makes me miss stuff like this and other things I want to do. Nothing more sh#@y than seeing a great day coming up in the forecast and knowing you'll be free to ride and then it decides to have one of it's fits. >:( At least this time I did it to it, didn't mean to but I did. It pisses me off more when it decides to act like this for no damn reason. Luckily it's not that often. F*#king turkeys. [bang]

You guys and gals have fun tonight. I'll be missing it for sure. [beer] James, I'll catch you at the next one. Haven't seen you in forever. Take care.

The food was great.  The company even better.  This is a good place to have a East/West dinner meet.  We will definitely have to do this again.

It doesn't hurt that RichD knows the manager.   [thumbsup]  Table was ready instantly.  I hate waiting for a table at anyplace.

That was perfect: noise level (we had no competition to beat), food [thumbsup], beer [beer], peeps and wannabees ;)
Gotta do that again!

THANK YOU for the thanks!

When I first moved to Texas I rented an apartment a block away from the Rockfish (until I knew where I wanted to buy a house).
It was stumbling distance of my place, great food, great service, and they have a good patio setup with parking in view.

For a last minute "reservation" for 17 people the service was fast, drinks didn't go dry, and from what I could see every meal was spot-on.

Even though I live farther away now I still eat there several times a week!   [thumbsup]

Good event, thanks J-Mac for organizing.  Next time, stick around!!

Definitely nice save by the man, RichD.  We went from a 2-3 hour wait at D&B's, to a 1 hour 45 minute wait at BJ's, to a walk in, sit down, drink beer & eat food at the Rockfish.  Stef and I had a great time and enjoyed the visiting.
