Nice giftbags, love the knife!

Who is who in the photo?

I'm not in the DFW area, is The Galleria the mall with the ice skating rink?

In the group photo from left to right...
  • Sicem in the green shirt with white stripes
  • Me in the purple Lacoste polo
  • Lildragon in the solid green Lacoste polo and his wife in front of him
  • Lm21 in the black polo with his wife next to him
  • Alhoanakomi in the black t-shirt
  • Cap at the far right
The Dallas Galleria is "one" of the malls with an ice skating rink, but it's the only one that has it in the middle. It is located at LBJ and the North Dallas Tollroad.

Great pics of a great gathering, Vu! My wife and I had a blast from start to finish - beautiful watches, excellent food, and even better company!

Looks like you had a good time! Did anybody make any purchases?

Also, it's very nice that the AD would host you and make up such nice gift bags. Good press is almost priceless these days, and this AD looks like they are top notch!

Looks like everyone had a great time and a wonderful dinner. Sorry I wasn't able to make the GTG as I had to be at a birthday party with the family.

Looks like Colette took care of everyone, she is one of the best.

Cheers to everyone!

No purchases were made, but good discounts were offered so I think some of the guys may be back for a purchase.

Hopefully I will be able to make it. I have a client who is moving from Colleyville to Dallas Friday night so I may end up moving and setting up servers instead of having drinks and looking at watches.

Vu - the invite says it ends at 8, but...

...I seriously doubt they will have packed up and left before 9 at the earliest. I have already told my wife that I don't care who I have to kill, bribe, or sleep with at work in order to attend this event. Actually, she is sick now and is trying to get better by Friday. And I'm trying to avoid catching what she has! Talk about navigating a mine field - at home and at work!!!

In any case, try to make it if you can - even if it's late. It's been so long since we've eaten at Del Frisco's - hell, that's half the reason we're going... In fact, if I know I'm going to be late, I might call Collette and have her extend the event if at all possible just so I can catch a glimpse of the new in-house models.

Hope to see you there!
