    The Gaylord Texan is a huge resort just north of DFW airport near the Grapevine Mills mall. It's all enclosed inside a big atrium and has lots of Texas style stuff to look at like a replica of a Spanish mission and an life size oil derrick. There are also four restaurants on site. I will be doing a dinner theater show in one of those eateries, called the Riverwalk Cafe. It's a fun show and I play a Scottish major who served the confederacy during the civil war. Naturally, I'm kilted.

    The Gaylord also has a sports bar called the Texan Station. My show lets out about 10. It would be great to have some X-Markers show up kilted and come to the show, but since that is a bit of an expense I thought we might get a group together to meet up at the Texan Station. You can certainly come before ten and I'll join you when I can. Several have mentioned that they already have Burns celebrations earlier that night, so I thought some might like to come when they get out and have a gathering after ten. As I say, the Gaylord is a fun place to visit anyway and I'll see if I can secure some parking passes for anyone who wants to come out.

    That's better! It's been a while since the last good gathering in the DFW area, so if we come to a concensus on a locale and time, I'll make an effort to be there!

    Sounds good!
    I'll try to have a couple of energy drinks on the way there..just so I can hang with you night owls.

    Also....
    got an invitation from The Tipperary Inn for a Macallan whiskey tasting.....

    Come out to The Tipp on Wednesday January 30th starting at 7:00pm.

    This Spirit Night event is a sampling and education of a special rare range of Macallan whiskeys that are sure to please your palet.


    There is a $20 fee for this event to cover the tasting along with Rarebit appetizers and a selection of cheeses to compliment the tasting!.
    Come early and have dinner, or stay after and be social with your friends.

    They are requesting you RSVP, as there is limited seating available.

    Oh man! I really like Macallen scotch, but I have a class to teach on Wednesday. I wouldn't be able to get there until 8:30 or so. I wonder how late it will go?

    So, how many are up for Friday at the Texan Station?

    Same . . . I'll be there, but it may be a bit after 10:00.

    As long as I know folks are coming I'll gladly hang around. My wife is going to come up after her show too (she's performing in Hurst).
