Since it is hotter then hades out, why not have a drink & think this month. What goes better with hot weather then drinks, chips and salsa. Anyone game?

Jaybo and I are up for it, as long as its a Saturday evening - we need to make sure and call Erebus if we set a date, he's been wanting to get together too!

The only date that is taboo for me is Aug 27th, I am going on a weekender out of town with my Mom. I think we are good any other Sat. night.

That sucks Dixie, I'm open on the 27th. But the 20th is an unsure possibility for me. (Depends what day my daughter decides is move-in for college.)

The 27th works better for me too, but as things come up at the last minute, (mainly my health) don't plan it around me either.

I'm open any Saturday, but I may have to leave out of town on short notice(long story)

The last time we did this, we practically closed down the little pub we were at in Arlington. So, I don't mind hanging out for an extended time at the pub. We could meet at the same pub (someone else come up with the name, cause I can't remember), and Allen you can bring the Zombie Manor group to the pub with you later. They're in Arlington anyway.

If you guys can't do the 20th, then I'll show up on the 27th sans Dixie. I'll be a bachelor that weekend and will need more than cheetos and ramen soup to survive!

Bummer, I'm sorry DL.... if I hadn't of already made the reservations I would try and move it.

If the 20th works out for you, let us know, and we will make sure we can be there.

Allen, how does the 20th look like for you? I keep Jaybo chained to the garage for much of September, so this might be our last chance!!!

Yall come up with a date that suits the most people and I'll try to be there.

Jaybo...I believe the place was JR Bentleys.

Looks like I can make the 20th. Bring on the zombie fingers or whatever the heck we were drinking.

Those darn Az peoples.

I just want to righteously point out that I did NOT flip off the AZ peoples for stealing our Spideranne. I might have wanted to, but I didn't.

Probably because that was after my 9th mixed drink, and I couldn't find my fingers.

I'm READY for this Saturday! (even though I promise to be good this time) :D

I'm in on the whole haunted house purchase. Just kidding. I'm broke!

Jaybo

08-17-2011, 04:03 PM

Hey guys, a local haunted house is selling out. We could all put in 1,000 and divey out the lot.

Haunted House Halloween Animatronic Pneumatic Props - eBay (item 110729690016 end time Aug-23-11 09:20:35 PDT) (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110729690016&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649)

Just kidding, I don't have 1,000 either. But I'd sure like some of the props.

They have been trying to sell that setup for a couple of years now. I think the financing fell through on a couple potential buyers. I see he did sell the cars and track for the dark ride. That's what originally caught my eye. I would love to run a dark ride. Just so I could ride it myself!

Now, I do like that castle wall and turret facade they have. I've been studying his pictures trying to figure out how it is put together.

Those are nice looking walls. I was looking at the different pictures in photobook thinking "I really like that, but Dixie would probably want it too. I'd love that, but Carolyn would like it too." lol. I remember this attraction. It was pretty popular it's first few years, but they didn't update it and people aren't looking for the same scare every year. Dibbs on the lifesize hanging vampire. :D

I need clarification...we getting together this Saturday?

Dixie

08-17-2011, 07:58 PM

I'm going to Bentleys this Saturday. Gonna drag Jaybo along. Gonna sit outside and drink til I get slightly silly. But not embarrassingly so. Just enough to seem friendly. Meet me on the patio.... 6? 7? :D

Haunted Bayou

08-18-2011, 10:40 PM

Will do! Send me a text when you leave with an estimated time of arrival so I'll know when to leave the house. It doesn't take long for me to get there.

Did anybody call Erebus?

I sent him a PM, but he has never answered. I'll send him a message on Facebook.

Well, at this moment in time there are 40 users on the board and only 7 of them are members. So, yes....we have lurkers.

It'll take me about three hours to get there. Can you guys hold out that long? Just kidding.

Zombie palooza tonight?

Crap! I forgot all about this!

Dixie is on a girls trip in Louisiana, and my boys and I just got back from a long (and freaking HOT with no AC) roadtrip. I'm beat and just heading to bed.

Man...I really wanted to go to this too. Will have to try again next year.

Where?

Scareme this is a new tradition they have started here in DFW.

Here is the website (http://zombiepaloozadfw.com/site/) for the event.

We had too much fun not to do this again, so you'll get another chance. It's been way to hot to work outside this year, so not a lot of Make and Takeing has been happening. Drink and Thinking seems to make things all better!

jaybo i don't like being called a lurker,i prefer to be called lazy!!

Get your lazy butt off the sidelines and come out to the next meet! :D

You missed a good time.

BTW, I usually hang out over at the Garage of Evil more than I do here. Maybe, just in case, drop me a line over there when there's another get together? I'm Diana B!
