Ok, here is the deal.

The meeting is going to be held at Joe's Crab Shack off 75 and Parker in Plano. It is really easy to find. So simple in fact, a Marine could locate it.

Take 75 North in Plano. Exit at ParkER (not Park). STAY ON THE FRONTAGE ROAD. Go under the overpass. It will be on the right about 200 feet past the bridge.

Parking is first come, first served, but as the meeting is just after lunch it will not be all that bad. I will be getting there a little early anyhow. Oh, does someone have the SWXC banner and could said person meet me before hand so we can 'take up some space'?

Also, don't forget that PIAA is sending their sales rep for the SouthWest US and he will be bringing 'goodies'.

See y'all there.

Sounds perfect, I know exactly where that is and I been craving seafood since I moved up here. I'll be there

I have the banners. Is there any way of setting up some reserver parking even if its out back for the meeting?

I'll definitely be there. I can get there early to hog space if needed. I'm only about 5 minutes away.

Ken.

JCS shares thier parking with a couple of other restaurants. As the meeting is between lunch and dinner, the parking should not be that bad. If you, Ken and I get there a little ealry, our 3 trucks can take up some space.

I can ask about reserve parking in the back, but do we really want to be out of sight and have no exposure?

I can probably get there early as well and hog some spaces too.

Don't get too excited... Joe's isn't BAD... but it isn't good either.

Last year Pappadeaux (not my fav either usually) had all-you-can-eat lobster for $30.... Turns out I can eat SEVEN!

The best place I know of in this area for seafood is Fishmonger's (It's a fish market / restaurant)
1915 Central Expressway / 972-423-3699... It's just south of Park on the West side - behind Chilis

with everybody heading up for the meet, does anybody have a gox or moab (or both) video that i could borrow and return by mail or purchase a copy of?

I need to see if someone from the Dallas area can pick up a winch control from Chris, then if someone from Austin can pick it from whoever picked it up, then bring it back and I'll pick it up from whoever picks it up from whoever picked it up from Chris... Thanks!

I work up the street from Chris so I can get it for you. Send him a PM and I will as well.

Thanks... I appreciate it... I think Jason's gonna be going, so he can probably pick it up...

How long do you think the meeting will run? I have a test that Saturday starting at 9am. I'm not sure how long it will take me to finish the test, but I forsee not being to make it at the 2pm starting time.

I'd guess an hour or two, but I have no clue.

It usually depends on how many people show up, the more people that show the longer it takes to run out of things to say, or to look at each others truck..... The meetings generally run about about 2 hours or so.

I'guess I'll play it by ear.

Sorry, I won't be able to make it to Dallas this weekend... I'll be in College Station Saturday morning, and then I'm heading in the opposite direction toward Houston by the afternoon... maybe next time!

I know approximately how long it will take me to get to Dallas. The only thing questionable is my departure time. It all depends on how long it will take me to finish my test which begins at 9am.

hey Daniel, Would it be possible for you to bring me one of the large SWXC stickers? Try not to forget this time Thanks

Man even if I could go which I cant I couldnt eat there because I am allergic to shellfish. Which means someone would have to take me to the emergency room after I ate 2 lbs of crab.

Good thing they have hamburgers and corn dogs then.

Will memberships be accepted at the meeting?

yes

Oh MAN! One of my longtime friends has that problem... I don't think I could go on living without the occasional crab or shrimp.

How many Xterra's show up at these meets. I am used to having 8-12 cars show up for my local cavalier club here in dallas and was just wondering how the usual turnouts for Xterras are. I work on saturdays and get off at 4:30pm, maybe a little too late but I think I can catch up while everyone is leaving.

Depends. I know that is vague, but it really does vary. Usually the Dallas meetings have the most by far, and the Houston the fewest.
