I'm wondering if I'm cool enough to hang out with someone who says "send me your deets".  :p

I know I'm not THAT cool!!   :p

I like Texas Land and Cattle better than Texas Roadhouse. I always think Texas Roadhouse will be great and every time we try it again it is "MEH". They have great rolls and they do have peanuts aplenty though.

In Killeen the Texas Roadhouse and the Outback are right beside ea. Other. Go to the Roadhouse for cheaper and better drinks then go to Outback to eat.  :cheersmate:

I didn't get a chance to do so on Friday, but I'll be booking my hotel on Monday. After that, can you plot the possibilities on a map, Tots, and share it with all? Try to find out an evening that'll work for everybody?

You're HR - you're better with this sort of thing than I am.  :-)

I'm postponing the audit until late September. I need to combine the Dallas audit with one in Jacksonville, TX and the J-ville audit was postponed -- out of my control.

But I guaran-damn-tee you, I will make the trek to Texas.

And  your state will never be the same again...... :evillaugh:

If the weather here in September is going to be anything like last year we might want to consider meeting in Anchorage.

That is the God's honest truth right there.  I can't redo last summer.  Not yet.  I ain't ready.

Not all of us can afford the luxury of dining at Texas Land & Cattle. It's significantly MORE expensive than Texas Roadhouse, at least for what I like to eat.

I think the thing to do is put this thread to bed for the time being. We can resurrect it toward early September and by that time, there should be a couple of Chik-Filets that will have popped up by then. Either that, or this dive:

Lighten up, Francis. It was a joke.

As far as I'm concerned, we can brown bag it on a park bench somewhere and feed the pigeons with the leftovers. What's important is the PEOPLE, not the venue.
