Nemo doing Dallas
Get your head out of the gutter. I've got a business meeting from Jan 26-29 in Dallas and I'm wondering if anyone in the area would be interested in getting together for a run? I won't bother to pack/ship the bike unless you all tell me you've got some great ride planned for the following weekend- in which case let me know and I'll arrange to stay an extra night! I'll be stuck in meetings all day and night, so it would have to be a morning gig (unless you all convince me to extend the trip through the weekend).
Anyway- befoe I book airfare I wanted to send out the smoke signals to see if any Longhorn ENers wanted to show this east coast gal some fun!

Duh, that would have been helpful huh!? I'll be at the Hilton Anatole on 2201 Stemmons Freeway. My understanding is it's something like 30-40 min from the airport??? I've only been to Dallas one other time- and that was just a one day business trip (in & out- didn't see much besides the insides of the cab, the meeting room, and my eyelids).
If something were going I would try to make it out! would love to meet some EN people.
Right now Ive only met Dusty who introduced me to EN.
Yeah, about 30mins from the airport WITHOUT traffic. So, depending on what time of the day you fly in, you'll probably have to contend with it - like we all do.
Getting a rental car or will you be shuttling/cabbing everywhere? That's not TOO far from the area where I train at, White Rock Lake (I live near there too). No, you can't swim there, you wouldn't want to with the nasty water and the water moccasins anyway, but you can bike and run there.
Some good restaurants over in that hotel area too, Pappas Steak house comes to mind.
I've met Carrie and Daniel, Tomer (if he's still around in da haus), and so far that's it from my hopeful TX sleeper cell.
Definately cabbing it. It's one of those yearly kick off meetings where they bring everyone together and lock you in a room for 3 days with all your evening activities planned out. I'm open to grabbing a cab to meet you all somewhere in the morning for an early run/breakfast during the week. Or- if you all want to get together Friday night or Saturday morning I might be able to swing that too- just need to arrange to stay an extra night at the hotel on my own tab. My meetings end noon on Friday- so I could also possibly get together Fri afternoon and still make it home that night. It's just a long travel day (3 hour drive from Raleigh Airport to home) so staying the night might make more sense.
Alright folks, my logistics have been confirmed. Based on this info, I'm gonna guess we won't have much chance to get together unless someone is interested in doing an early morning/breakfast sorta thing near the hotel where I'm staying:
Tues 1/26: Arrive 2:00pm. Meetings start at 4:00pm and go through the evening.
Wed-Thurs 1/27-28: Meetings start at 8:00. Not sure about the evenings, but usually there is some dinner/entertainment thing that everyone has to participate in.
Friday 1/29: Meetings start at 8:00- End at 11:00- Flight back leaves at 4:00pm.
Let me know- I'm really looking forward to the chance to meet some of you in person!!
Is there a breakfast spot near there we could all meet at that Friday morning? Maybe you could ask the concierge?!?

Looked up your hotel. Its supposed to be about a half mile from your hotel and has 5-10 dollar breakfasts opening at 6am.
Sounds pretty good to me. I could call them later and find out more if you would like but I am at work now.
Let me know.
Sorry cant be there. Im going to Dallas in mid Febuary. Let me know if Nemo does Montana, and Im game. Not nearly as classic as "doing Dallas" but sure to be as invigorating.

That sounds great. The concierge mentioned something called Bread Winners- but that's 2.5 miles away. I like the idea of somewhere I can walk to from the hotel.
But, like I said earlier, I don't mind going to pick her up.
And I'm always willing to try somewhere I've never been too, like Mama's Daughter's Diner.
The only place I know to eat near the hotel is Medieval Times, but I dont think they'll have the jousting show on at 7am in the morning. LOL
@Greg, let us know your plans in another string, aptly called "Greg does Dallas", and maybe we can regroup.
@ Scott: Okay, if your into that type of thing.....
mmm Breadwinners Rocks! Nemo, I'll pick you up, take you to breaky, and return you back to the hotel if Scott doesn't already have it worked out. :-) I've also heard good things about a place called Mothers and Daughters I wonder if its the same place.
Awesome there is going to be pics of Nemo doing Dallas
@Steve- Hardy har har har!
We are set. 7:00am on Friday Jan 29 we meet at Bread Winners. Carrie is picking me up at the hotel, and Scott is bringing me back.
BUT- What I don't know is the address for Bread Winners. Can someone confirm that piece so we don't end up at different locations?
Yes, I'm totally good with dropping you off after.
Please confirm your timeline though, I'm afraid that if you need to be BACK at your meeting by 8am, we might not make breakfast starting at 7am.
I've missed this but I'll be in for breakfast friday!
Sounds fun!
Dusty
