Ok...

Saturday May 24 at 0800-1600

I'll be providing the New Castle on tap, Margaritas, Hamburgers, Brats & Pork Back....

If you wanna come, let me know.

Be sure to bring anything else you might want to eat/drink etc (sodas, water, chips, dessert)

You can come early and we can play some D&D all day as well. There is a pool if you wanna swim. I don't care if you bring the family.

Count me out then. PDT_Armataz_01_23

Seriously though, I'll have to check the family schedule....but I can probably swing it.

Actually though I don't think Mike said where he'd be wearing the thong..but really don't want to start thinking of places he could wear it.

You could have your monthly game here for the day though

and Gaunt ... you can still come, just bring the pager and leave form here if you get a call

Hey, if I can hook up my work laptop to a wireless connection, I'll be good. I'll have to check the on-call schedule.

Where are you located, SpectreWhisp?

My travel schedule is likely to be 1-3 trips/month between now and November, between work and vacations/game conventions, but if I can swing a trip down, I'd be great to meet up with you guys again before GenCon!

You forgot to mention the annual tradition of "rassling" for it at the end of the cookout.

Let mirth prevail!

If this thread does not ensure the "insane" reputation of Texans I do not know what will.

Aneoth,

We in the midwest value a balanced psysche. I have rarely seen this displayed by Texans. "Rassling" for a thong worn by Badmike = unbalanced psyche. Mark Cuban = unbalanced psyche. Often radical right wing politics = unbalanced psyche. FDLS church = unbalanced psyche (and sanctioned pediphillia).

Of course I do not want you to take offense, I just wanted to place a thorn in the side of Badmike and KingofPain before they arrive here for Gencon 2008.

It's, ScketreWHisp

I am in Arlington, TX, just a tad south of Bad Mike who is in Euless... and quote a bit SW (40+ miles) of others like KingOPain, Gaunt, etc.

Yes John, I have multiple Wireless access points and I can move one out near the pool if needed...

At least near the food and alcohol

Our reputation for being unbalanced used to keep people out....maybe if I stand at the border in the JG thong I can cause some of the yankees moving here to take one look and u-turn it back on home!
