To all DFW DU'ers, GinBarn and Derby went to The church on Sunday,

[anarchy1999]

the "Justice Sunday" event.

We owe them and I propose a dinner or lunch in their honor. Who is in and how soon can we make it happen. They went way out on all our behalf and they deserve some recognition. Here is mine/ours. We love you, Gin and Derby~!

[sui generis]

1. I'm in - let's eat! Just say when and where . . .

-sui

[anarchy1999]

23. Okay, everyone, weigh in quick and soon. Do you want lower Greenville

or NOrth Dallas. I'd say it is up to GinBarn and Derby. Okay. Let's rally up. We are good for either, you guys just let me know really soon.

Thanks, S & D Bollenbacher

25. Lower Greenville (see post #9)

I figure that will be a more centralized location for everyone.

[anarchy1999]

29. See post #28! TIME IS SET, RESERVATION MADE, 6:00pm

Ali Baba's
1905 Greenville
Phone: [phone]

Can't wait to see you all!!

[anarchy1999]

30. Can we get a quick confirmation from everyone planning to attend.

Thanks.

Sherry

31. Do ginbarn and I need to RSVP?

Gotcha.

:evilgrin:

[anarchy1999]

36. Dear Derby and Gin, Nobody needs to do anything but show up at 6:00pm.

FSC and Rep, can't wait to see you all as well and Crispini and all the rest who plan to attend. I told Sam a table for 15-20. I've been going to see them for 10 years+. I think we will all have a very good time.

Lots for us to have fun talking about.

On edit:
I forgot the food is to die for. (IMHO).

[fudge stripe cookays]

32. We'll be there!! n/t

[fudge stripe cookays]

2. When and whar?

Is Ali Baba's big enough? I'll find any excuse for their tabbouleh!

FSC

[anarchy1999]

5. Yes, Ali B is big enough in both places, north Dallas and lower Greenville

We just have to get them to say yes and to where.

Tabboleh and fallafel for all!!!

But wait, they may want bar b que, oh my heavens. Please no.

[crispini]

3. Sweet! Let's do it!

Gin and Derby -- what's your fave venue for drinks and din?

[fudge stripe cookays]

4. I ain't driving all the way to Fort Worth to

Edelweiss again! We'll have to watch them do the Chicken Dance, and it could get out of hand! Heathens!

FSC

[derby378]

6. Chicken Dance! Beer! And ginbarn says you can't beat German meat!!

OK, before you keel over...

ginbarn's interested in Ali Baba; neither of us has ever been there. As long they've got savory meat and baklava, I'm in.

Which location do you guys recommend more?

[anarchy1999]

7. Thank the heavens. Okay. North D is just North of Frankford on Preston,

the original is on Lower Greenville next to Taco Cabana, same side of street but they do close at 9:00 maybe 10:00 for a special dinner. Game set, let us go.

We have 2, that is us, we have Gin and Derby, I think we have FSC and Reph, so who else wants to come? Shall we make it ND or Lower Greenville? I believe that is the only question to be resolved at this point.

And yes, Derby, at either location, you will be served your desert.

We have a confirmed 6, I believe we may wind up with 20? You guys in our interested?

oKAY, WHAT DAY? I'd like for it to be this weekend, can you all make it? Who is in, who is out and how can we honor Gin and Derby. They deserve a meal along with our respect.

[derby378]

9. Okay - let's go for the Lower Greenville location

Now all we need to decide on is a time. Git 'er done!

[fudge stripe cookays]

10. Is the Lower Greenville one big enough for a decent sized group?

I ventured inside it once years ago for takeout, and they didn't have takeout, so I went up the street to Kosta's.

Kosta's might be a good bet too. Their pitas and tzatziki sauce is to DIE for.

reprehensor and I are in-- Saturday would be best for us; we'll have all day to laze around, then drive down; no workaday rush.

What say ye heathen? Lower Greenville Ali Baba's around 6:30 or so? Or earlier?

FSC

PS-- So looks like we're up to 9 now? sui and mr sui, re and me, gin and derb, the anarchies and crispini. Anybody else?

[crispini]

13. Saturday works for me,

at least I think it does....

[anarchy1999]

14. Ali Baba, after 5, they can accomodate 10 to 20. We have to let them know

we are coming.

Let's do it!

How is 6:00 or 6"30 ish for everyone, let it be known. We can do 7:00 as well. What works?

[fudge stripe cookays]

18. I'd prefer 6 or 6:30...

cuz if I wait to eat til 7 my blood sugar will drop off the map!

FSC

[crispini]

20. THAT would be excellent!

And, hey, Chomsky's playing the Barley House on Saturday! Anyone who's interested could continue on to hear some really excellent live music. I know I'd be up for it! Woohoo! :woohoo:

[fudge stripe cookays]

21. You gonna make the call hun?

Just let us know when it's set in stone so we know.

FSC

[aQuArius]

16. Maybe myself & BlueCollar :)

:hi: I'll let ya know for sure. We hate driving into Dallas, but we might just be willing on a Saturday...

[fudge stripe cookays]

17. That'd be cool!

We haven't met ya'll yet!

Come on over!
FSC :hi:

[PDittie]

27. What time to we get together on Saturday?

We know the where, now we need the when.

6:00pm is fine with me if it's fine with everyone else.

[anarchy1999]

28. Okay everyone, reservations have just been made for the lower Greenville

location (right across the street from the Taco Cabana, on the same side of Greenville) for 6:00 pm for 15 to 20, I talked to Sam and he said they could do it. SO EVERYONE, we are set.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone and meeting new DU'ers!

ONCE AGAIN, Cheers to Gin and Derby!

The address is 1905 Greenville and the phone number is 214-823-8235.

See you there!

PS/Here's a link to a review of their North Dallas location, the food is just as good at lower Greenville location, especially since Mama is still in the kitchen.

35. Gin and Derby, ROCK!!!..wish I could make it, but have other

plans that can't be moved/arranged.

[derby378]

34. For everyone who shows up at Ali Baba...

If you want, I'll bring the camera up to the restaurant and we can watch a couple of MPEGs of these "Just Us Sunday" rascals force-feeding the Fristians. You'll love it!

[derby378]

37. Thanks to all who came

Sorry I didn't get to see more of y'all at the get-together - we had a rough day yesterday, and it sapped our energy before we showed up at Ali Baba. Hope you guys had fun last night.

[PDittie]

38. *ahem* Photographic evidence of the event, please?

Thank you....

[anarchy1999]

39. My goodness, you are demanding, aren't you, dear PDittie!

Okay a picture or two may be forth coming. The event did happen and those of us in attendance had some fun. We'll see how soon we can put it up, maybe tonight if we're lucky.

[derby378]

40. Oooooh, peeeec-tures!!

That'll be cool to see. Yes, PDittie, we were both there.
