Originally Posted By Mickeymouseclub I just got home. i was in the Ft.Worth/Keller area. Gloomy all day on Saturday but sun came out exactly when the party started but it was still muddy. Of course the kids had the most fun with water guns. It was a "Charlie and Lola" theme.Popular English childrens books & music and dvd's. Some merch is available in Epcot"s England section so it might be a Disney division. Not sure. But thanks for the interest I hate it when I post something and nobody reads it! I guess all you Texans are just real friendly like that! Is anybody in that area also?
Originally Posted By TXDISNEYNERD I'm not too far from that area. It was not the best weather weekend, but glad it cleared up enough for your party. My 3 year old enjoys watching Charlie and Lola sometimes so I am familiar with the show.

Originally Posted By Labuda Ah, wow - a Texan term that Californians don't know, eh? To us, the MetroPlex is Dallas, Ft. Worth, and the area around and in between the two.
Originally Posted By Mickeymouseclub The reason I ask about Locals...wondering if a Meet has ever been planned in Texas.

SO the meet would have to be at the CORNER Bakery in Southlake. And how does anybody use GPS on their cellphones while driving. Okay I admit I got lost going to & from DAL in that rental car! One fun thing about the party...I found pixie glitter at the cake supply store and it makes the cupcakes sparkle SO we are thinking about using pixie dust on broccoli- for the children of course.
Originally Posted By Labuda MMC - nope, there's never been a meet done in Texas as far as I know - there are 3 of us in the Austin area, a few in Dallas, and that's it - but for a meet to work for both Dallas and Austin folks easily, we'd likely have to hit somewhere like Waco that's midway between the two. Keep in mind how gigantic Texas is - a "Texas" meet would have to be more of a regional meet like a North Texas or Central Texas or East or West meet.
Originally Posted By friendofdd I've always been impressed by the fact that when you drive from the west coast to the east coast by the southern route you've covered one third of the country when you get to the western Texas border and when you reach the eastern Texas border you've covered two thirds of the country.
Originally Posted By Labuda Yeah, it's impressive, but TOO BIG! lol And, while I'm one of the seemingly few who realize we're not legally allowed to secede (the way those silly ROT people and most others here think), I DO know we have the right to split into five states, and I think that's a good idea.

Originally Posted By TXDISNEYNERD I have never seen anyone try to plan a Texas meet, but it would be fun. MMC - I am frequently in Southlake so if you set something up there, I could probably make it.
Originally Posted By friendofdd You Texans, especially those in the Metroplex area, watch out for tornados today. Be safe.
Originally Posted By Longhorn12 >Longhorn's hometown is up in the western part of the MetroPlex< I rep Ft. Worth. Near Bluebonnet circle/Tcblugh. >somewhere like Waco< We could do a Dr Pepper meet >I have never seen anyone try to plan a Texas meet< That's because it's easier to organize the entire country to a meet then Texas.
Originally Posted By Labuda Longhorn - you mean like a Sweetwater Dr. Pepper meet? That's actually a pretty good idea, I think! Is that roughly equidistant between DFW and Austin? Those seem to be the only parts of Texas that are represented by those of us who make our presence known here on LP...
