My name is Paul...I'm from Minnesota.  I'm coming to Texas in August (second week) for a conference.   I've never been to Texas before.  Will be staying at the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine...will not have a car.  Just wondered if there are any fellow OH'ers in that area that get together for anything.

Drop me a line if you want, or reply.  Love getting together for coffee or happy hours and love meeting new people!

In Grapevine from Aug 8-13.

Sometimes we have visitors announce when they travel to Minnesota....so just thought I'd say hi.

Paul...

Hi Paul -  We'd love to meet you.       I don't know of anything scheduled for that time frame that you'll be here for -  we got something going (see post for TMB dinner )........on 8-21-10.    :(

The Gaylord is beautiful -  I've only been in Dallas for about 9 yrs - give or take and I've never been there - but Grapevine is just a hop, jump and skip away from Irving........:)    just the OTHER side of DFW airport !! lol           

You'll have to check out Grapevine Mills Mall -  just down the road from there...........

PF CHANGS on 114 is great chinese cruisine in Grapevine also.......as well as El Fenix, etc.....local mexican chain  - good food !!
 
HAVE FUN IN TEXAS !!    :)     BTW   ......ITS HOT HERE TOO !!

Hey Paul,

I'm near Grapevine as well. If you want to get out for an evening give me a shout or a PM. A week stuck at a hotel, even one as beautiful as the Gaylord Texan, can make you a little stir crazy.

That is sooo cool.  Yes, I'm game.  I'll drop you a PM.  Anyone else?  Any particular night work better?  Thursday night I have a banquet.  Not sure how to dress for that. LOL

Well - I'd love to meet an evening for dinner, snack or whatever we call it nowadays lol

The weeknights are terrible for me as I work a 2nd job and that week (8-9 thru 8-13 is off limits to ask off because our office is moving locations the weekend of 8-14 & 8-15.......but I could meet maybe on 8-15 (I can't remember the dates that you'll be here right off hand).....8-14 is my birthday and I'm planning a day at Hurricane Harbor on that day......hopefully and whatever happens on Sunday - happens !!  lol

 Hey Paul.....be ready for the heat cause August is the hottest month we have.   if Phyllis and Jenn decide to come meet you and go out to dinner tell them to let me know.   Maybe I can come too.  I
am always up for meeting new OHers.     


Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

What about Sunday night the 8th?  I get in around noon.  I will not have a car, but am open to just meeting somewhere on sight of the Texan or catching a ride(?)....any night but Thursday (12th) is open, and I head back to Minnesota on Friday the 13th.

I just learned that attire for the week is shorts or jeans all day every day...including banquet.  That seems nice, but I've never been so informal at a conference.  But I totally like that plan.

PM me if you want my cell number....

Paul
