GWJ-ATX 2013: Third Monday Movies

Free sxsw event today at palmer event center. Swsx.com/interactive/screenburn

Went last year. Was unimpressed. Any better this year?

In other news, are folks interested in this continuing or should I let it die like all my other New Year's resolutions?

Don't quit! I want to play laser tag.

It was OK. At one point, the FireFall people gave out free beer. I've never been to anything like this before, so I have a hard time comparing.

And yes, we should continue.

Ok, so what are we doing this month? 3/24 or 3/31?

Well we're almost to the point where 3/24 is short notice so I'm going to go ahead and declare 3/31 as the date for this month's gathering. Location/activity TBD; suggestions welcome.

Laser tag!

I want to try them all!

Blazer Tag looks pretty boss from its website. And it claims to be the largest laser tag arena in Texas. So I'm definitely keen on trying out that one.

3.31 is possible for me. Blazer tag sounds great.

Ideas for future:

Board game night My house is non friendly to that. 1 yr old baby.

LAN party. I've been to tek republic. Very nice. He's moved and renamed, but a good evening of gaming there for about 20 each. We've always byob as well. Sure I can call and arrange that.

3/31. Blazer Tag it is. Time? We could do the evening thing like we have been or perhaps go a little earlier and then do something (or nothing) else after.

Maybe late afternoon, like 4:00-ish?

Like I told you on IM, it's all you, man. Would you like to repeat that in the form of a statement?

4:00! We storm the gates!

Just remember, pics or it didn't happen.

Turns out we have an unexpected last minute Date Night this weekend. With 4 kiddos, this is a very rare and special moment for us.

Just checking in. IF my wife takes the kiddos to the Metroplex this weekend, AND I don't have to go shopping for my recently totaled car on Saturday, then I can be available. I will let you know, still waiting to hear from both wife and insurance company.

Hey! I'll not be tolerating anyone throwing my truck's truckliness into question!

IF you want a ride down there, AND you don't mind riding in a faux truck, I've got no problem offering you a seat in *Legion*'s ride.

Edit: To be clear, you'd be welcome in my car, too, but I'm "making" him drive.

Rumor has it that Boogle might be in town on 4/7 so, if it works out, April's gathering will be hot on the heels of March's so pencil in the date. If the weather looks like it will cooperate, don't be surprised if the activity includes disc golf.

Okay, so I just saw this. I actually live about a mile and a half from ABIA and Blazer Tag isn't any difficult drive to make either. I still can't make today.

I have a lot on my plate but if you guys don't mind a newcomer showing up then I may try in the near future. Right now my time is divided up pretty harshly between work, family and various live theater activities.

If you hold off the April S&T till after the 16th, I can join:
Moving to Ft. Worth for the rest of the year
Am I pimping this too hard?

@MrAndrewJ: all are welcome.

@Tigerbill: Assuming I can stay motivated, there will be 8 more this year for you to attend.

One last bump for today's event. To the best of my knowledge, it's just *Legion* and I, so text or call if I'm supposed to be looking for you.

Also, it's official. Boogle will be coming in to town next Thursday night and depart on Saturday evening. April's S&T will happen somewhere in there so get your two cents in now.

Yes, I shall be there.

I love shooting children with laser guns.

21 Jump Street is also quite entertaining.

----------

April: April's activities comes hot on the heels of March's trip to Blazer Tag as I've recently found out that Boogle is making a brief trip down to Austin at the end of next week. What, when, where, and how is still all TBD but it'll be either Friday night or Saturday day (or possibly both).

So Boogle finishes up around lunch on Friday. I'll probably meet up with him for some food and then turn him loose on Austin for a couple hours. After work, meet up for drinks and dinner downtown somewhere.
