I'm going to list all the opportunities for bandster socialization. Several of these are compliments of DFW Bandsters (a Yahoo group). Mikey & I have been attending them regularly. They're a fun group. The attendance varies from week to week, but everyone's been really nice.

Basically, with these events included, we have something band related every Sat of the month except the 2nd one. Good times!

It's just NORTH of 114 on Macarthur. Yahoo maps is off, but not too much: the star is just on the wrong side of the highway.

The restaurant was nice. Good meat selections, great adult beverages, fairly quiet, nice comfortable chairs. If you want us to move again, let me know! Also, if the time is getting too late, let me know. 3pm was just a little too early for dinner, and too late for lunch, lol. Though it was nice to be the only folks there!

Hope to see you at one or all of these events!

Pics from yesterday's get together:

Hey Randy - Kid's are being thugs and we think that a smaller school may be in order - at least we can start em over and take away all the thug clothes and make them dress in pink ruffles... LOL. Actually, my parents, Steve's parents and my grandparents are all there as well, so the more eyes the better. Teenagers -- will I live through this? :-) Wonder if anyone would want to come to the lake for a get together?

Hey all! This isn't about the lunch planned, but....

For those of you in the Keller area: Hubby and I were eating at the Beef O'Brady's on North Tarrant Pkwy. last night and we found a big ole LIVE roach crawling on our table!

Just thought you all might like to know!

(scratching Beef O'Brady's off his restaurant list) Thank you for sharing, Michelle. At least you didn't find HALF a cockroach in your food......*hurl*

Bump!! We'll be at the Plano dinner, would love to see some of ya'll there!

Oh you all look wonderful! It's so good to see pics and introductions. LOVE the pics!!!! Thanks!

Bumping at Janet's request. The Red Hot & Blue dinner is this Saturday (details on the front page).

Thanks for the bump Mikey.

Mike and I will be attending - consider this our RSVP. The question is, who else plans to attend? I'm pretty sure Divanita will be there - did everyone see she's approved for surgery and scheduled for the 22nd of this month? Cool huh.

See you all Saturday.

Count me in for Saturday:)

Hi everyone- I've yet to attend any of the dinners. But I really want to.

Unfortunately, I was in Hawaii for this last one (shucks ) We (DH) went with our HS Band. They were invited to play at Pearl Harbor Point. It was an awsome experience for the young adults, and it was a great time for the adults. I actually went parasailing- something I would have never done 70# ago.

So-- when is the next get together planned? I haven't seen anything posted.
