[Empeg-general] Re: Dallas Owners Meet

[Dan Wallach]

We need someone from Houston that knows Dallas to Maybe tell me what big locations they know of that would be good for a meet. 

I guess that would be me.

We need somewhere that has a restaurant we can all meet at for lunch maybe in a back room, and that has plenty of parking lot outside.  I mostly know North Dallas / Addison / Richardson, so other folks should feel free to chime in about elsewhere that might work.

Possibilities:

- Blue Mesa Grill - several locations, but the one that I know is at Belt Line and the Tollway (in the old Sakowitz Village shopping center).  I seem to recall that they've got a back room that we could take over.

- Purdy's Hamburgers - 4812 Belt Line in Addison - a generic upscale burger joint (if we want something fancier, there's a Mr. Sushi right next door that's pretty good).  Neither place has a back room.  The Fudrucker's on the corner of Belt Line and the Tollway might have a back room, but it's got underground parking which could be a problem if people have thumpin' stereos they want to show off.

Nothing else is immediately coming to mind.  Of course, there are all the generic chain restaurants (e.g., Chili's) scattered throughout the city.  Any of those places, on a weekend, would have all the space we'd need.

(Thinking out loud: do you suppose, if we couldn't get any of the Cambridge crew out for a visit, that we could get them to send goodies to give away, as they've done at past owners' meets?)
