For those of you that had been watching the postings for the last month, we had a Dallas TTOL happy hour last Thursday February 17th. The location was at Bahama Breeze in Las Colinas (Dallas area), TX on their patio. If you weren’t paying attention to the weather outside, you could almost think this would be a bar down there. We were serenaded by a one man band playing beach tunes all night and great coversation with fellow TTOLers.

My wife and I had a great time meeting everyone. Even though I have a blur on everyone’s name! I found a new affliction that is a symptom of a lot of TTOLers gathering and discussing their DIF problems. It takes about 8 hours to develop. It is the Cocktail Flu! The nice thing about the Cocktail Flu is it doesn’t last as long as DIF! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/Cheers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/Cheers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/toast.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/Cheers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/dancingmonkey.gif" alt="" />

There were about fifteen TTOLers that showed up. We even had someone show up with some nutmeg for the pain killers (AND cups from the Soggy Dollar!!!) that the bartender had to be taught to make. It was funny, when I was going up to get a beer, I commented to the bartender that he was going to get beaten down with the Painkiller by the end of the night. He just looked at me and laughed. Needless to say, he was!!!

Memorable things about the night: Some of the stories about threatening to swim back to Road Town from Willy T’s, etc. were hilarious, Checking out the new Drinking Man’s Guide, getting a few new Quito CD’s and getting to talk about the BVI’s without my wife and everyone in the conversation rolling their eyes!

Thanks to all that showed up. It was a lot of fun! We have to schedule another one in the next couple of months when my trip gets closer so I can drive myself completely insane!!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/Banana.gif" alt="" />

100 days to go!
