In honour honor of Andre's return from Belgium, The Land of Exquisite Bier, let's have lunch at Margaux's in Dallas (a few blocks north of AMS).
See you there [moto]
Sweet! Tuesday may work for me. I have a photo shoot with a band next week, at first they wanted Tuesday, but now it looks like Wednesday. Shall we say tuesday tentatively?
(and my bad for spelling flavor with a 'u' on the other post. Freakin' Brits got to my head ;D)
I can do this. I'll watch for details. [thumbsup]
Tuesday is looking good.
Cool. Let's make it Tuesday. I've changed the original post.
Awesome! [thumbsup]
Got it. One pm Tuesday. Weather looks great. I'll be on something red.
Cool. Table for four so far... [popcorn] ;D
[roll] [roll] What is it with these after lunchtime lunches? Are y'all still on DST? [laugh] Have fun [wine]
Bumpity-bump ;D
Hope to see y'all there tomorrow! If the roads are even partly dry, I'm on the bike. However, I do have it on good authority that Margaux's has car parking too ;D
Should be plenty dry by 12:30-1:00.
possibility for me.
I'll be in the area for a little while, but I'll have my dog in tow as she's going for her Doggie Daycare interview tomorrow. I'll try and stop by while she's doing that,but I have quite a few errands to run before I head out to Solvang for the weekend.
Would like to make this and meet Andre but my hall pass is only good for 11:30-12:30 :P
this the same place as we did in the shopping center?
Great! I'm looking forward to seeing everyone! Those who can't come, no worries. We'll just be forced to grab a beer or two sometime in the near future ;D

Yep [moto]
Great to see Andre today along with the rest of the group! Awesome food as always. Didn't realize how long we had been there! There was a chance I had to pick up kids from school at 3:00. I pulled over in Deep Ellum and got my phone out (I didn't realize it was turned off) and sure enough there was a VM from Jen. Thank goodness she said she picking them up after all and didn't need my help. It was about 3:05 so they would have waited awhile for me to get home and grab the truck! Time flies by when you're having fun! [clap] [popcorn]
Again, great to see you Andre glad you are back. Cool hearing your stories about Belgium. Tell your hard working brother he needs a vacation!! [laugh]
Great lunch!
Good to see Andre and the group.
After all that beer talk, I need to go get something in the 9% or 10% variety.... [evil]
great to meet you Andre.
And to continue the discussion you should look into

funny as hell.
Great lunch as expected! [thumbsup] Great to see everyone, and I think a beer meet is in order! Is the Allen/Mckinney area too far north for ya'll? I'm still thinking that the micro-brewery deserves a shot ;D
Great lunch with great company. I'm sure the waiters were glad to finally see us go. Good times [thumbsup]

There are a bunch of the newbies (and not so newbies) that live up Frisco/McKinney/Allen... (the Okies) area. The micro-brewery sounds like a great idea... [beer]
do I hear Thursday????
Unfortunately, I can't on Thursday... In fact, my schedule for the next week and a half is a bit IZ_ right now :-\
fyi.....I hear there's a CHEAP Hyper in Frisco. You need to join the Okie gang.
To be honest, I'm not looking into buying a bike anytime in the foreseeable future... I'm happy as a cyclist, surprisingly enough! I went to AMS before lunch, sat on a Sport 1000, and thought 'nice bike'. 2 years ago, I would've thought: 'MAN! I NEED THIS!!!'.
Plus, there's that whole 'priorities' thing I heard about while still in college [bang] [laugh]

please explain. i know bikes should be first on everyone's list. :-X
As far as this micro-brewery idea goes: Plan It and They Will Come (just make sure it's after Spring Break so I can go) ;D
Hmmm...let's see, Frisco-McKinney-Allen, Texas area...nice looooong ride for me! I could request a couple of days off work, get a hotel up there, and fill the tank to Okieland and make the trip for micro-brewery beers. Sounds good to me! [thumbsup] When?
Back to the Margaux's lunch: Of those that attended has anyone gotten sick. And by that I DO NOT MEAN FOOD POISONING!! I felt great Tuesday and that night was feeling a little funky, nothing really worth noticing. But I woke up Weds. at 5:00AM feeling like I had been hit by an 18 wheeler and was shivering to death. It was uncontrollable. I bailed for the guest bedroom to not wake Jen and piled the blankets on but was still freezing. I have had about a 100 or higher temp ever since and a major headache and body aches that are out of this world. I got my first ever flu cold last Sept/Oct (like everyone else...) did the Tamaflu (sp) treatment thing and even got the "regular" flu shot when you could not get the H1N1 shot. In typical high fever fashion I go from freezing to night sweats... weee, what fun. I am finally going to the doctor this afternoon but I am just concerned that if I had it at lunch did I give it to anyone else. Who knows if it's even the flu but I can't put it off any longer, I feel like SHIT and Spring Break starts Monday! I can only imagine the happy faces at my house if I am still too sick to go. [bang]
Just hope everyone at lunch feels OK. [thumbsup]
i started getting sick yesterday and this morning feel better. did you pass on that "old gene" sickness to me? ;D
Haven't gotten anything yet (knock on wood!). Hope you feel better, man!
That stuff you got Brian has been going around for the past couple of months. I got it about two months ago. Thing is it should be gone in a week or so. It comes on like that 18 wheeler but subsides fairly quick. Sorry to hear that you got it. [bang]
My cure: two shots Irish Whiskey with stiff hot coffee and some Bailey's in the morning. Repeat 3 times daily. If still having symptoms add an extra treatment till passing out. [thumbsup] [beer]
OK here, but my daughter is sick with the Flu. She came down with it Wednesday afternoon. It's pretty much going around AGAIN....
Get better man.
Got it. Must avoid all contact with Ducatis till epidemic passes. :-\
