Hello! Had a quick question for members that were around back in late 2005/early 2006. Are there still happy hour GTG's in the Plano/DFW area? I took about a year sabatical from the forum and moved to Houston. I recently moved back to the Grapevine area and wanted to see if these things were still happening. At the time we were doing one every week to two weeks if possible. I can't remember all the attendees but the regulars were:
Lscottpht
RiteFlyT
CaptainTom
Bill
BabyBlueTx23
ParkImaging
ScoobyRoo20
HeatherLou
Jeff_Green
DSimmons
Brad
Daniel Bates
and more... (note: if I left someone off I am sorry wasn't on purpose :)
Well, is this thing still happening often or did it die off? Would be good to hear from some of you guys! | | | | | Sponsored Links | Premium Members do not see Google advertisements. SIGN UP today and help support our community.

I think Norm (riteflyt) was putting them together, but it seems to have slowed down some.
No one wants to see my ugly mug that often anyway
But I'd still love to have them once in a while.

Yeah, haven't talked to Norm in many months! Is he still active on the forum?
I agree, and would love to start having them again! | | | |

Hey J!
We are actually having one during the day on Nov. 27. We did another about 2 months ago, but they've been pretty spread out. I'm sure people would be up for doing them again, maybe not weekly, but bi-weekly/monthly. Oh, and welcome back! | | | |

There will be a GTG of sorts at the DPPA http://www.dallasppa.com/ meeting 11/09 at Swan Court in far north Richardson. Michael Grecco will be the speaker. He is awesome and has a couple of really great books. I especially like his book on lighting.

I've started a monthly lunch gathering, and I bet some more evening parties would go over well.
Suggestion. Don't put up a poll, just decide when and where and post it.  | | | |

I wouldn't mind trying to catch one... Been trying to get out a little more, otherwise I'm stuck home, or working. Or both at the same time. Plus I need to get into some people's heads to figure out where their creativity comes from, I'm in a bit of a "funk" at the moment.
