The April 6th meet was a lot of fun at the Ranger game, glad everyone could come! :)

Six Flags was brought up a couple of times, so I think that should be the next meet. Redheadednurse suggested April 19th because they have some concerts playing, and because that is the first day they are open 10am to 10pm.

Edit: The tickets are $25 (Atrail and JeffreyLebowski can get discounted tickets) and the park is open 10am to 10pm. Right now, I'm assuming we'd meet at 10am, but if that is a problem for anyone, just post when you'd prefer to arrive.

Post here if you're interested in coming, I'll add your name to the list.

Confirmed:
Grasshopper
JeffreyLebowski
Redheadednurse + 2 friends (jimmy and preston)
Spikesoldier
Mr. & Mrs. Pliablemoose (and kids)
FelixDeKat

Possible:
Rent
wyvrn
NokiaDude
JonnyB

Some of you may know that Grasshopper27's account on our forums has been closed. This has caused a problem with this thread because he started it, so he is the only one who can edit the first post.

We hope we can find someone to take over monitoring this thread. If you would care to do so, please start one, including all the info in Grasshopper27's initial post, and include an active link to the old thread. Then, PM us, and we will stick it to the top of the forum in place of the original thread.

Our apologies for this inconvenience. Thanks in advance for your help. We wish you all a great time in DFW.

Group tickets are $21, but you have to buy two weeks in advance, you can't change the day, and you have to get 10 people at least.

What if the weather stinks? Then you're stuck. This way we can buy them at the front gate and if the weather is lousy, we can all go do something else.

OK, the woman's mom is coming into town on the 18th, so she won't be going(knock on wood) But i'll be there with some of my friends.

I know Grasshopper lives in addison, do we want to caravan out there or all meet somewhere and then go to the park, cause the more people we cram into a vehicle the better, cause parking is outrageous. it's like 8-9 bucks now.

I'm there! Six Flags is great and the Titan is aweosme if any of you haven't been on it yet! Anyway, remember to get into the concert that starts at 7pm you have to pay an extra $8... I'm definitely going to the concert if we go but everyone else can just chill in the park doing other stuff if they don't wanna go.

The link to the concert is below....its 5 great bands!

Moose - You HAVE to come.... I'll hang out with the little ones, if they aren't too shy/afraid of me! HaHa!

6 Flags Concert

Hope to see you all there!

Dang, I'd love to make this, but again, it looks like I'm booked that weekend. Maybe next time.

I'm lucky(?) enough to live in an outlying market... they sell discounted season passes out here in the Styx. I think I can get a season pass for just a little more than it would cost for a regular 1-day ticket.

Cool! :D

Yea, paying for parking stinks... I've got a Suburban, so between the two of us, we can carry a lot of people.
