Is anyone playing in the Dallas, TX area?

There appear to be a few sites here. Which ones are worth hitting?

I played at the Dallas Photon center in 1988, and briefly at the Stargate in
the West End.

There's only one Photon open now; XPLasersport in Laurel, Maryland.

There are, however, several other companies open in the Dallas area.
Personally, I recommend Laser Quest in North Richland Hills.

John:

There are a few old timers that still play in the Dallas area. Dark
Angel played Photon in Dallas briefly and still plays most of the
major systems in the Dallas area. Roundabout still plays occasionally,
too. The both mostly play laser quest at either north richland hills
or the new one in Plano.

I played at Dallas and San Antonio and still play competitively when I
can get to something besides a flipping QZar.

Well, I will try to find the laser quest in Plano once I get out of this
damned wheelchair. (Car wreck. Broken ankle.)

Hey Jason!!!

For some reason, I decided to jump back into the newsgroup. I see that
you are coming out for the Tourney in April? Or am I just insane?
No comments from the peanut gallery.

A friend of mine who used to work at the NJ Photon said he's thinking
of coming down. Which means, I'll be coming out.

Would be nice to see you after all these years. Still remember those
crazy San Antonio days. ;-)

I emailed Ron "out of the blue." I found his website by accident one day.

Yeah...be afraid. We were talking about you last night. *wink*
Okay...not as much you as we were talking "old photon days".
He IM'd me and asked if I knew you.

He says he's gonna try to find some folks to come down for the tourney.
I suppose I can get off my fat ass and come down, too. ;-)

Talking about me? The most electrifying player in laser sports entertainment?
That's swell.

Indeed. Now if only I could get back in the same shape I was way back in the
day.
I think I'll have to dust off my XP card and get my butt down for a little
running
around. ;-)

Laurel, Maryland. Here's the details:

I can't play in the triples because I have to work, but
I should make the draft.

Hey John,

I used to play in Dallas. I'm the only old guy that still plays though.
What did you play by, or did you hang out with anyone I might remember.

Join us on the Dallas Tag Group.http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DallasTag/
Once you are on your feet again you can come play a few with us, we hit
different sites each week. Laser Quest you can find players at weekly
but there are plenty of other sites and systems to try, and usually
cheaper. Drop us a line if you would like to show up and we can give you
directions and some playing tips.


Laters,
Roundabout

I was there during the last year. I played by "Raff". It started as a
throwaway one night: I met this guy from L.A., we teamed up as "Riff" and
"Raff" (an obscure play on Rocky Horror, what else?), and I decided I liked
the handle. Played league with the Pizza Men (hey, somebody had to be dead
last in the standings, and we saved some of you guys from a fate too
horrible to contemplate).

I'd enjoy doing it again, if only for a little while. I was in the process
of moving to Austin when I had the wreck.

Men team name for some reason. Anyway, drop us a line or keep in touch
when you get to Austin, there are several places to play down there too
we can get you addresses, tips, etc ....

Good Luck !

Come on down to LQ in Austin. We can even teach you to play without cheating
unlike those Dallas guys. (jk Jeff) Seriously tho, let me know when you get to
Austin and want to come play.
