Are you laughing at my tiara?
I counted restaurant votes and I thought at first we had a tie, but I realized I missed one vote. It's 2 for The Cellar (Griffen, Pnctar), 1 for the defunct Texas Bar & Grill (Excaliber), and 4 for Mercado Juarez (C-dub, Geekwagun, Paw-Paw, Rexinthecity).
Mercado Juarez it is!

Are ya coming, Donnie?

Is your better half coming?

I'll be there by myself and just me at the restaurant.
Happy Trails! N
Did you see that guy up there laughing at my tiara? We're gonna have to sit beside him and tell him what for!

I'll be there and bringing my stepson. He's interested in getting his CHL, and has been trying out different firearms as he decides what his first purchase will be.
Awesome!

Still most likely +1?

Are you coming? I thought you could only go on one of the dates not chosen. So glad you are stooping to my level and going to a public range with its rules and all.

I hope you can come to the range so we can get you covered in gun powder before you have to go through the airport!

They really want to. Its my weekend with them, so we should make it. It'll be a good test of public behavior around civilized adults again. They did really well last time, IMHO. They've been wearing me out abuot shooting the Mosin. I'll have the old "how to be a man" lecture and follow-up reinforcement of gun safety on Friday evening with them. One of my neighbors has expressed some interest in accompanying us, so there may be one or two additional guests along. We'll see how it goes. My wife said she would really like to come but has to work at her second job that day, so unless something changes, her pink .380 may not see much use......
As always, really looking forward to the shooting and the company!
I see a thread where our friends in San Antonio/Austin are trying to have a get together. I hope they have as good a time as we do!

It looks like I'm all yours!

I asked a couple of other people, but they have plans.

I already removed my "might" from the poll.

Thanks for thinking of me Hoi, I will definitely be there for both
I can't wait to meet y'all in person.
If anybody saw something in the list that I posted earlier let me know and I'll be sure to bring it.
I voted possible +1, but he told me that he registered and voted that he would be there, haven't seen a post from him though. Don are you out there?
It is 10:00 at the range, right?

Is that the one that follows a butt-whoopin' and a cold piece of ribeye steak applied to the swollen eye?

Pretty much all of the above. I'm a big fan of the movie myself. Kids these days have a lot to learn about what responsibility and accountability really are. My advice to young men is pretty concise:
1. Never marry a woman you think you can live with. Marry the one you know you can't live without.
2. Make your mistakes. We all have (and still do..) Learn from them, don't repeat them, and carry on.
3. Take responsibility for both what you do and what you don't do. Actions and inactions have consequences that must be faced. One way or another.
4. Anytime you point a finger at someone else, there are several more fingers pointing right back at you.
5. If you want to be treated with respect and as an adult, then you had better act like one.
The list kinda goes on and on, and may vary as circumstances require it.
Maybe I'm a little old fashioned.......
P.S.--I don't recall there being a bad word anywhere in the movie.....

I spoke with my son today and he's interested in Andy's offer for some skeet shooting learning. He'll be out there as a future CHL holder, and figured why not hang out for some shotgun lessons while he's at it, if the offer is still open. Is there anyone else going to hang out for sheet lessons after lunch?

If I can convince my friend to stick around for it I'll be there.

I didn't see this thread until today. Is it too late to sign up? If not, I'll try to come and bring a few friends with me.

Not too late at all! Let me know a restaurant count when you can, please.
I'm going to pull together the recommended list of supplies, the schedule, addresses, etc all in one place in the next couple days. It's all here, but dotted throughout.
As a matter of fact, everyone please let me know your restaurant count (definite, probable, maybe) so I can call Mercado Juarez with it this week.
We really had a great time being able to sit down and chat with each other last time and I'm looking forward to it again.
