THE DALLAS SEEN:
Last week many of Dallas’ most prominent were spotted on and off the Avenue! Here are just a few of those sightings!
The biggest news last weekend was the visit to our fair city by Chicago friend and fellow member of the Hash House Harriers - Nick “Crouching Tiger” Ng and his girlfriend Jean Leanne! We all got together at the Dallas HHH Happy Hour on Friday at the Flying Saucer in Addison. Many greats turned out for this event including Leah Taylor, Rachel and Jerry Jerome, “Nut Nudger” and Barb, Kenny and Eddie D (H.O.F.#141)! A good time was had by all!
*****
On Saturday we did trail on the last beautiful day for a while in Grapevine. Greats showing up including “Crouching Tiger”, Jean, “Double”, Chip, “Moldy”, “Deadhead”, “Peaches”, “Bunny”, “Bubble”, “Chicken” and many more. Nick brought a bottle of Melort all the way from Chicago, and I was one of the lucky ones who got to drink some of this beloved liquor! It was so much fun partying with these great out of towners! I had just seen the “Tiger” when I was in Chicago the second weekend of December.
