Ahh.. Granny LaLa, welcome! I just saw all the rucus on OH. You won't find much of that here. So you're finally going to a informational meeting? Congrats!

I'm banded (10/04/04)and live in Mesquite. What do you need to know!

I was hoping that anyone that lives in or near Mesquite could tell me if there were any meetings nearby of bandsters. I've read where everyone meets offline and would like to do so too! Of course, you'll have to come find ME because I'll be lost in Mesquite! I can find I-30 and that's about it. If not this time, then when I'm banded and drive up to get my fills, I can meet up at some meetings!

Laura,

There are two yahoo groups for bandsters in the Dallas area. DFW Bandsters and bandbuddies. There is a luncheon meeting of Bandbuddies in Plano this Saturday. There is suppose to be a bandster dinner at the El Fenix in Mesquite later this month, I think. There weren't enough people interested last month and it was cancelled. Where do you live? I just live a stone's throw off I30.

I live in Arkansas, around Texarkana so Dallas/Ft. Worth is about a 3 hour drive for me. I did try to go to the seminar in Mesquite and ended up on the road a total of 7 hours and couldn't find the darn place! I left a little bit too late and so hit the going home traffic making it hard for me to look and drive at the same time. I don't see that well at night and for this small town girl, night driving while looking for the right exit in the middle of Dallas can ruin the nerves!! I've been to Arlington many times so I knew where Mesquite is but I was told LBJ freeway and I couldn't find that exit!! I called my son in law, a trucker, and he said it's the same as 630 or 635, I forget now. Anyways I'm going to try again and hopefully I'll get out of town sooner so I can find the place!
