Yes please!

Ahhh! I'm so technologically un-savvy. I don't know how to reply-all to this, so pretty much, I fail. But Alyssa and Amanda, if you can see this, we should meet for drinks after work next week to decide what book to pick first! Does Stan's Blue Note work for you on Wednesday at like 6:30? They have 1/2 price appetizers and "discount bottles of wine," whatever that means, Wednesdays all day. Also, awesome pizza. Other specials abound on other days http://www.bryanstreettavern.com/#!happy-hour/czh5 any day after work next week works for me. Thoughts?

And by Stan's Blue Note I definitely meant Bryan Street Tavern...thought of Stan's first, then thought Bryan's Street had better happy hour deals, and did not update the message. I'm basically the worst event planner ever.

[Alyssa Mooney]

I'm down! 

And you picked a good place at with nice deals and a fun atmosphere, and all I have to do is show up.  You're battin' a thousand as far as I'm concerned...

[Leigh Camp]

Awesome! Alyssa, look forward to meeting you Wednesday and discussing literary thingz. Amanda (and anyone else who sees this between now and then), feel free to join!!

[Amanda Brown]

I'll be there. Looking forward to it!

[Leigh Camp]

Great--I have red hair and will be wearing an orange scarf (the combo somehow doesn't totally clash...I think) and will probably be sitting alone at a booth in the bar, reading, like a cool kid.

See you both there!

Hello. I saw the comments in the post today. Does the book club meet every week? If not when is the next meeting? What are y'all reading? Can I join? I'm not as lame as I sound in this desperate internet plea for friendship. 

[Amanda Brown]

Hi! We are reading How Did You Get This Number, by Sloan Crossley (apologies for spelling), and planning to meet on February 12. The more the merrier!

[Kind of a Mess]

Yay, Megan!  I hope you get to join us, I've added my buddies Lizzie, Kristin and Soleil to the list so they can hopefully come also!

Ladies, make sure you subscribe to the google groups for updates in case something changes. I'll try to make sure y'all are kept in the loop, but I am occasionally a ditz.

Awesome! I'll try and make it if I can schedule myself off work. 

To clarify, are we meeting Tuesday February 12 or Wednesday February 13?

Thanks!

Oh! I would love to join this!  So happy there are other pinners in Dallas- doesn't it seem like a Northeastern thing, usually?

 

I'll pick up a copy of the book and show up on the 12th, if it's alright with you ladies?  Looking forward to it!

[Stephanie Ho]

Oh boy, just saw this. Hope you guys don't mind me crashing the book club!

I don't think I'll be able to make it this week, but I'd love to come in the future. 

[meganm...@gmail.com]

I've never been to this place before, is it big? How are we going to recognize each other? Is there a gang sign? Should we just hold up our copy of the book as we walk in the door?

I should be there about 5:45 or 6 (close to work and too much hassle to go home between), and I have red hair in a ponytail and a black and white zebra-ish print top.

[Katie Soderquist]

I am going to be unable to make it (obviously as this email is already 15 mins late). So sorry for being flakey- work got in the way!

Please keep me in the loop on what y'all read next. Have a great time tonight!

Hey guys it was great meeting everyone yesterday! 

The book we chose was Mr. Penumbra's 24 Hour Bookstore- let's hope it doesnt suck.

And we're meeting at Tried and True. http://www.yelp.com/biz/tried-and-true-dallas

Do we have a date? A fb group?

[Alyssa Mooney]

I'm setting up the Facebook group today and I'll email everyone the link! 

[Alyssa Mooney]

Alright ladies, we have a Facebook group!  I made it closed, just for privacy sake, but that can be changed.  I think you all can request to be added and we can do so; otherwise just add Kristin or I to your Facebook friends and we'll put you in!

[Alyssa Mooney]

It would help if I added the link to the page, huh?  https://www.facebook.com/groups/476632365725587/

Sorry about that, y'all.

There should be an option for you to join the group from the page, or you can add any of the current members as friends and we can add you from there. 

If you like Valentine's Day: Happy Valentine's Day, and I hope you get all the hearts and flowers you desire!

If you don't: Screw Valentine's Day and I hope Cupid gets herpes.

Have a great day, regardless!

I am giving this group a big ole' BUMP because we are having our fourth meeting tomorrow night  (Thursday 4/25) at Tried and True in Dallas at 6:30. The book for this month is "In Cold Blood" by Truman Capote, so the odds are you may have already read it or seen the movie. But, even if you have not read the book please feel free to join.  There is lots of drinking and yummy food, and the ladies are absolutely wonderful and so much fun to be around. I can't link to Yelp from here, but if you Google "Tried and True Dallas" the first thing that pops up is the yelp review. It's located off Henderson and there is a little parking lot behind.

Please do not hesitate to join us!

[meganm...@gmail.com]

Ok, so just in case. We post-poning this meetup and changing it to next Thursday, same bat-time, same bat-place. I didn't realize when I picked the date about traffic hell in the area created by all of the Bush drama.

I'm so excited to have found a pinners book club in Dallas and would love to join you all! When is your next meeting? I sent a request to join the Facebook group, if it's easier for me to just get updates that way.
