DFW GTG - This Saturday, Northpark Mall, February 9th at 12:30 pm!

LaurenThePartier Ideal Rock Total Posts: 8,172 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 3/2/2004	Hi all - I just wanted to start a new thread to get an idea of how many people were going to be able to make it to the GTG this weekend at Northpark Mall. The plan is to meet at Corner Bakery around 12:30 pm. We can hit a few jewelry shops - do some lunch - and then do a few more jewelry shops. I do believe Katie said she could make it, and I know Kathryn (iwannaprettyone) and Ringabling were maybes. So, sign in ladies if you want us to look out for your BLING this Saturday! *********************************************** DFW PS GTG Planner Extraordinaire :)

Surely you have some small tidbit to throw us.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds." -Murray N. Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880 "There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things.... The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

Surely you have some small tidbit to throw us.... Sadly, because none of us had any way to contact each other aside from the site, Katie and I waited for about an hour, asking pretty much anyone who looked like they were waiting for someone if they were Maria, or Kathryn. I don't know if anyone showed, but hopefully if they did, they don't hate me. *********************************************** DFW PS GTG Planner Extraordinaire :)

curiopotter Ideal Rock Total Posts: 654 Last Post: 2/5/2009 Member Since: 12/28/2006	Lauren, Today just wasn't my day! I'm sooooo sorry I didn't get to meet you today! I set the time on my alarm clock instead of the alarm, and I woke up about an hour off my scheduled plan. I got there about 50 minutes late by the time I got parked and in the restaurant, but I didn't see ya'll! I scouted around all the tables looking for a mousepad or a gray shirt--I walked around the mall and ran to all the jewelry stores to see if you guys were browsing, but no luck. I emailed Katie on my cell while I was still in the mall, but she called me back at about 2:30 when she got home. She did give me your number, but my phone wouldn't connect your number! argghh! We stayed for a few hours looking at jewelry-- I tried on some things at BB&B and made a decision on my wedding band. Anyway, she did mention that you had talked about setting something up in Houston at WF, and I thought that would be a great idea. I just got home, but I wanted to let you know that I feel terrible about not getting there on time!

I just got home, but I wanted to let you know that I feel terrible about not getting there on time! Oh, honey - no worries! We were in the first booth on the right as you walk into Corner Bakery - we had no WF mouse pad, so we put PS on a piece of paper and stuck it in one of those number holders on all of the tables. So happy you made a decision on your ring! The funny thing about looking for people I don't recognize was checking them out by their rings. I saw one or two girls who looked lost, and I was like nope - that's not CP's ring . . . I'll be in Europe in March, and Tahoe in April, so maybe we could do something in early May in Houston. *********************************************** DFW PS GTG Planner Extraordinaire :)
