I suggested Cowboys Red River because it sounded like he might be interested in the country thing.
You're right...that's another good texas thing to do. So now we have the /time/place established: Cowboys Red River 6:30 p.m. Who can pick up the guest of honor? If it's not convenient for anyone else, the I can do it...I'm downtown so I'll have to go out and double back so might be a tad late. Let me know by end of day and I'll let him know what "chariot" to look for.
I was suggesting 6pm at Humperdinks for a happy hour, Red River probably doesn't get going until later and Humperdinks probably has better parking anyway. We can just walk accross to Red River from Humperdinks. Sound OK to everyone? 6pm Humperdinks for happy hour and food, then closer to 8 we can move over to Red River?
Right next door behind Jack & Box on SE corner of 12 (Walton Walker?) and NW Highway. Just NW of Red River.
Sorry, I have 7:00 meeting tomorrow now. Cannot make it, but I can pick him up & deliver him to your Humps. I am less than 10 minutes away from his hotel. I'll pick him up, drop him off & say hi, then go to the meeting. May I suggest using Humps on O'Connor & 114? That is the original tallest bar in Guiness book, and it is in nicer neighborhood in Las Colinas. You can show Seb the mustang/prancing horse in the Square. Afterwards, you can get back on 114 & move to 12, then exit NW Hwy to go Red River OR just go down O'Connor & turn to east on NW Hwy.
o.k. here we go again - I think I have it now. when/where: Humperdinks across from Red River 6:00 p.m. Yoshi will pick Seb up at 5:30 in front of his hotel...I'll leave him a message to look for the silver f1 355 or will you be driving a different car?
Nick and Yoshi can car pool and race to Humperdinks w/ Seb riding shotgun. It should scare the hell out of him, being accustomed to DRIVING on that side of the car.
I have a meeting afterward, so I'll be driving my daily, black M-B SUV. I'll pick Seb up at the front desk lobby. He should spot me better than Nick, as I probably will be the only Asian. I have never had a problem meeting someone in crowds for the first time.
I have an interview in Las Colinas at 3:30, so it's possible I will be around at 5 if anyone wants to meet up earlier. If no one around that early, I might just go hang at Norwoods a little.
Here's the scoop...I left a message on the cell phone #...message says I've reached "Steve"???? I left both my home and office # on the message. Marriott reservations does not show a guest registered as either Steve King or Seb King in either Irving location or within a 15 mile radius. Any ideas?
Maybe his client or Dallas locals are reserving a room using their name or company. Or he may not input his real name in profile. He should be here already, right? Flying in Wednesday. Hope he has some way to check the thread. Well, I'll worry about it in tomorrow PM.
Well, Frances has left him a message. That's all we can do. I hope he gets hooked up with us, but worse case we just have another fun Dallas happy hour.
Since there are no posts from Seb, I will be at 5:30 at Marriot at 75063. There are 2 hotels Fairfield Inn & Marriot Hotel in 75063 under Marriot group. Fairfield Inn doesn't have conference room, so I'll be at Marriot Hotel by 11 & Freeport. If you guys find anything, let me know at 214-783-1066. I'll check the post one more time around 5:00.
Yoshi- You can try and call the cell phone # he left...just dial 011+44 (UK), drop the leading zero on his phone # then dial the rest of the number (777.......)
My cell phone can't make int'l call!! I'll just show up there, and wait for while & see what happens. I'll call you, Rob, or Nick once I picked him up.
You missed a good happy hour with the DFW crowd. I had a ferrarichat poster for you the visitor, but it went to Yoshi, who tried to pick you up. Hope everything went okay, and hope to see you next trip.
