Or, even more likely, in an accident

Grapevine Cigar Co. is next door, but we alway have plenty to pass around.

Traded in the SUV for an Altima that has yet to be christened by a 40-year-old.

June is my month. It has Fathers Day and I have done that 5 times and now I find out there is some idiot with 18 kids out there. June is also the month of my birth and since this is the year some believe I will turn 50 I think it only best that I surround myself with friends and people who truly see my vision, depth and the broad spectrum of my ever increasing paranoia.

Justin I am ashamed of you and I had such high hopes for you. I am now considering taking a job back in Dallas ( I interview on Friday XX) to help shape you into the person I know you can be versus the knuckle dragging hairy beast you currently seemed destined to be. Course if you choose to go that route, you will meet your mate the second week of June and I will wash my hands of it and wish you two all the happiness I can muster.

I unlike the others will not give up on you.

As a side note it will be good to see Tony again. I am curious to see what marriage has done to him.

That Bolivar was nice. Looking forward to it.

[volfan]

Bumpity Bump.

[Mowee]

yeah and fight the traffic going west. We'll hold a herf near downtown so it will be close to you. The western guys can come over for one.

[BeagleOne]

Eh.. that would be a negative Ghost rider.

Kind of like the children of Satan and going to church, they get real sweaty if the go east of Grapevine.

I have never met a group of men more high maintenance since the Lennon Sisters

I heard all Liga Privadas are fakes.

[BeagleOne]

Can you smoke a good stick and have a decent drinks and meals in Dallas proper? Honestly Frank, the Liga Pirvadas thing is getting old (and IMHO they won't that good anyways). Tap In is midway. You can decide to go or not to go.

Wait if we're talking about June 6th-9th, that's a Friday-Monday - how did we end up on a Tuesday or Wednesday? Are we considering Tuesday the 10th?

Tony, honestly the traffic for me getting there is just too tough. If I leave after 4 it takes me well over an hour to an hour and a half to get there. Coming into Dallas you are going against traffic....sides Volfan is in Dallas. But you guys can do what ya want.

And yes you can have a smoke and well not a decent meal....a fantastic meal. Not bar fare, but top quality stuff. at reasonable prices. Yeah they have bar food too....burgers and such...but can you get lamb or seabass or grouper or Ahi tuna at the Tap? They also have a great selection of rum and scotch.


I dunno why you guys don't come over sometime and see what we have.

I can only speak for myself, but when considering a herf place I want to look at where everyone is coming from and pick a central location, even if it's not in anyone's backyard. For those of us who will be coming to this herf, I'm in Denton, Croatan's in Ft. W, Beagleone's in Ft. W, Rack04's in Addison, ttours is in Frisco (I think he still is, at least), and volfan's in Dallas. I think Grapevine is a pretty good midpoint, personally. And as for lamb, seabass, grouper or Ahi tuna? I probably have a little different perspective on herfs than others, since I'm still a youngin, but I see a herf as a place to socialize, get to know people, and smoke cigars. Whether or not the location has Ahi tuna steaks is sort of irrelevant to me. I don't mind going to upscale places, but I don't have the bones to afford a $120 dinner with drinks. Again, just my .
