Oh, yes. The Hobbit Cafe is fun. I have dined there a number of times. Plus the food is good, and the portions gargantuan, in keeping with its hobbit theme!

If anyone is going to be in Houston, post it on the thread, and we can try to set something up.

I'm in College Station right now, and will be until May 11. From then on until the end of August I'll be in Arlington - quite a bit further from Houston.

I don't have a car, but I can probably find a ride down to Houston before the semester ends; it'd be great to see y'all.

Anyone want to stick their neck out and propose a date or two?

Galadel Vinorel- I could probably meet you in December during winter break. This year it started on the 19th and ran through the first week of Januray. It would be fun if we could set up something closer to the time.

Okay?

Regin Hardhammer: That would be fun!

I'm not exactely sure of the exact days that I shall be in San Anotonio yet, but I'll let you know when I do. I do know, however that I won't be able to meet you on: December 21st (My sister's and my birthday), December 24th (Christmas Eve), December 25th (Christmas Day), and January 1st (New Year's Day). Other than that I look pretty free, but I'll tell you more once I schedule the flight day.

I talked to Elanor Gamgee - we're both at Texas A&M, whoop! - and we're both good to go! Who wants to meet at the Hobbit Cafe sometime in the next two weeks?

Galadel, I wish I could meet you in December, but the odds of me making it to San Antonio are practically nil. (Unless my current roommate invites me back, which is a very very far outside chance - she's graduating, so we won't be roommates next year.) Any chance that you'll pass through Dallas-Fort Worth?

Galadel Vinorel · 04-26-2004, 02:09 PM

That's great Nuranar! Hope that you guys have a great time.

Just maky sure that those of you who are meeting follow the Barrowdown's guidelines. Thanks!!

Nuranar- No, I won't probally be heading through Dallas or Fort Worth on my visit. I'll be staying in San Antonio mainly, which is where most of my relatives are- free boardig!

If my plans do change, and I am able ot make it to either of those cities I'll let you know, though!

Hi fellow Texans! I actually moved out of state this past September but I still consider my self Texan. I'll always be a Texan. I keep getting teased with these Texas jokes up here in Utah. Its funny because here, there are a lot of Texas jokes as there were mormon jokes in Texas.

Anyways, I lived in DeSoto, just 20 minutes south of Dallas. *sigh* I miss the humidity. Its so stinkin' dry up here! Its horrible. One joke I've seen actually is this map of the USA and Texas is HUGE and "TEXAS" written in big words, but then all the other states are really small and say "not Texas" on them in little words. Another one that I've seen is that its talking about historical landmarks in the US, and then it has the Alamo listed with this huge description about it, but then it has Mt.Rushmore and in the description all it says is "not in Texas." Then it has other landmarks and tourist attractions, with all the ones in Texas with big descriptions and the rest just say "not in Texas." It makes me laugh, because I'm like "its true! Texas is better!" I admit my Texan pride. I just figure they're jealous.
