I am going to be moving to Irving, TX in the next few months. However, I have never so much as flown over the region before. If we have anyone who is familiar with the Dallas metro area and willing to give advice about where to not get shot, I would appreciate an e-mail at DR-Armifer@play.net

I lived both in Downtown Dallas and on the border of Garland for a little over a year, never even got aimed at.

Oh Pomae you couldn't hurt a fly. :P

That storm was nasty nasty nasty. Strobe light all night long in my eyes thanks to all the lightning. And all that rain! Oy!

I live just outside of Ft. worth near the speedway. I actually worked in Irving for a couple years though. It's pretty nice I don't think you need to worry about getting shot.

Downtown Dallas at night is a different story though..

Why so serious?

If you manage to get Armifer to go to a Ren Faire with you and get photo evidence I'll pay for all of your liquor come next Simucon.

(1:37:09 PM) Telrenth: I haven't got the foggiest idea what the hell you're talking about. Which, now that I think back on things, is about normal for the first few minutes of a conversation with you.

>>If you manage to get Armifer to go to a Ren Faire with you and get photo evidence I'll pay for all of your liquor come next Simucon.

Careful... you might need to bust out scientific notation to figure out that bill.

Speaking of the Dallas area. My next assignment is going to be Dyess AFB in Abilene. Are there any Renfaires near by?

Thanks.

I've been to the one in Houston before in '99. It was pretty nice. I'll definitely be going to the Scarborough faire every year I'm there.

>>I could get behind a suitably creepy haunted house, though.

They used to have a great one on the north side of Waco, not sure if it's still open. That's one of the set-up ones. If you want to see a creepy house and are ever in the San Jose, California area I suggest checking out the Winchester house. Very strange

It is a dream of mine to go on a "flashlight" tour of the Winchester House. As I am fascinated with all old houses, and even work part time in the Mark Twain House in Hartford, CT, I drag people to all the old historic homes I can. Anyone in the CT area who would like to go to Dudleytown, let me know, that is one of the creepiest places I have ever been.

How far and in what direction from Dallas is that one?

Ah, okay...I've been to that one back in '99 then.

I'm just moving to Abilene in a couple of months, so I guess there's just that one nearby south of Dallas.

We have a group of DR players and GMs that go to Scarborough and Texas Ren Fest every year. Anyone who wants to join us, please do! We always have a blast, it is a great group of people.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

The DR group is going to Texas Ren Fest October 9-11 which is opening weekend. Tickets are cheap if you buy them in advance. We will all camp all weekend, FUN!!!

I have the worlds oddest favor to ask of strangers but I am going to ask anyway. Back in August I had a pretty bad accident in Oklahoma while moving from Illinois to California. We got very lucky really, but both of my dogs were in my vehicle at the time of the accident, and one of them took off running toward Texas. (I have posted about this before sorry for the repeat) I have been checking rescues and shelters ever since but have not been able to find him. Last week I did another search and there is a dog in a shelter in Dallas that looks a lot like him, but when I called they would not really give me any information, the lady I talked to seemed to think it was pretty impossible for it to be my dog and said that they do not release information about animals to people that are not residents of the state, she was not in the best of moods...

The accident was August 2nd, and the dog went into the shelter on September 9th. They have a silly name on the dog now and I am guessing he is up for adoption now, the picture looks a lot like our dog, but he has white on one foot, my dog does not. I asked the lady if they could tell me what kind of collars he had on and she would just not really help me. I think it is possible they would be nicer to an actual Texas resident, since the goal is likely to adopt out the dogs.

If any one is near Dallas Animal Services and would be able to please make a call, I would appreciate it more than I can say. I have all the information on the dog and would be happy to forward it.

Thanks so much for reading my ramblings :o) , and sorry for being so long winded.

I wish I could help too, but I don't know anyone in Texas. I can't even imagine what you're going through. Good luck.

just an update.

The player of Koryu was kind enough to go to the shelter and look at the dog, it was not ours unfortunately. I am hoping that it means that the people who found him love him so much they could not turn him in, but I will keep watching shelters.

I can not possibly express how thankful I am to her for just going to check, and to the other people who were kind enough to email me to offer help, it really is a testament to how amazing the people that play this game can be.

I have made some of the greatest friends, moved across the country, and have been reminded how awesome people can be, all because of a text based game.

Thank you again.

<<The player of Koryu was kind enough to go to the shelter and look at the dog>>

Koryu rocks. I'm not surprised at all she helped you out. :)

Best of look with the hunt! I have my fingers crossed for you.

No seriously, that was an awesome thing you did Koryu. Three cheers to you.
