If it's somewhere at West Village I can make it.

My wife is looking for an excuse to drive up there one Saturday for some shopping.

Dallas Watch Crawl - July 23 - Update

OK - I met with Bob Ridley a few hours ago - Bob's an amazing guy. Some details to firm up - but here goes...
You have heard of pub crawls... we are planning a WATCH CRAWL
Details still being firmed up but here is what we have so far:
> approx 1:00 start -late lunch, early cocktails and a Bob Ridley show and tell
> 2-3 hours later we drive a short distance and are hosted by a nearby AD
> after the AD - for those who WANT and NEED more food and beverages - we hit a local dinner spot

We will let you know when all locations are finalized - and will only announce locations and directions via PM or email (security reasons)

Please RSVP here or email me at [email protected]
Going to be a blast!
Russ

I might be in Guyana for work during that time but if around, I will try to make it.
Like another before me, sea food is not my favourite.
