Let's take Swanny & Amy out for a real good meal...
IM(notso)HO, Swanny has done more for this group than anyone, & it's time to say "Thanks"!

Cafe Madrid in Bishop Arts, Oak Cliff-

http://www.cafemadrid-dallas.com/

Pick somewhere in the middle, so all can come!

Someone PM me a PayPal addy to contribute to this dinner.

No shit. We should do this. And as I know him he would probably insist that we don't. OK, Swanny, we'll call it something else... whatever you want... TX Cross Country racers dinner, Dinner in Honor of S4RS owners who also own S2Rs, etc.. All I know is you are the man around here and have been for a long while. A lot longer than I have been wasting internet space. Your long visit at the hospital with me put you in my hero book a year ago. Hosting the Casino Runs and cookout/race watch party... it just keeps adding up. Your offers to help anybody do anything to their bike at your place. Hell, to say nothing of your 100 hours a week at Brinker last year!! Damn, you deserve a trophy from them! That just says what kind of person you are... as if we didn't already know.

Again, I'm all for this. But getting Swanny to agree to this is the major deal. And dammit that is why we should do this.

Great post Scott! It's time to honor a really good guy who does more in a day than we all do in a month for this group. Hey, we can do this and still make it kinda low key. I know Swanny wouldn't want it any other way. I'm in, wherever and whenever.

no, dude, seriously....STOP!!  you are so freaking nice!!  my dallas'ness can't handle it!!!  just worry about your ticket troubles, man...we'll figure out something for Swanny.  and hell, if you find yourself with time, start experimenting with brews for next time around!!      

Gee guys, thanks.  I enjoy hanging out with all of ya and you are all nice folks so I don't mind helping out when I can. 

We can get together if you guys want to.  You guys pick the place and time.  Any night after 7 PM would be fine with a few exceptions....June 7th (Wedding  ), June 14th (Dad in town and he is taking me to III Forks! ), June 21st thru 27th (Gotta go to  Denmark to secure the ribs for the next few Hill Country trips! ).  Other than that we should be able to make it.

Again, each of you guys are good people so helping and hanging out with you is a pleasure and honor for me.

Swanny

At the risk of drawing the wrath of the DRD:

Swanny- post up a night you & Amy are available, & pick a cuisine- Sushi, Asian, Spanish, whatever sounds good, & we'll take it from there.

How about next Wednesday night?  You guys pick a place that everyone can meet.  If that date doesn't work for folks we can change it.

Wednesday works great    Glad this going to happen.

Wed. should work, but where?
