Garland Flying Saucer, 11 Apr 2013, 1900hrs

This is the Saucer's 420 day celebration/glass night. Last year they had a very cool 'Reefer Madness' inspired glass. It is generally a good time and Tommy and I are trying to make this an annual tradition; we are extending it to you all!

In addition to the 420 business, this is a great Informal 'howdy' over good brew for the east-of-Dallas crew (all Dallas & beyond is welcome).

We'll be starting at 7pm. I won't be staying later than 9 but feel free to stick around. Sure would be nice to revisit new friends and meet some who couldn't make the last get together.

Can't make it on such short notice? Not to worry, we will put another more official gathering together again soon.

Westsiders can't make it because we haven't mastered time travel yet....

I suspect he was using military time. 1900=7:00 pm.

^heh, this. My past haunts me! Title corrected for civilian types ;)


Beer + beautiful waitstaff in skirts + Miatas = Awesome. That's a sciency type theory thing that Mr. Peabody hooked me up with... Or maybe it was SourceFed. I dunno. Come drive your Miata to an awesome place of beer and pretty. Merriment is sure to ensue.

I'm off Thursday..... Depends on just how much I get done. I seem to need more hours in every day lately :/

How random...I'm here right now for a friends going away party!!

I wanna go but gotta work tomorrow :( anything on for Friday or Saturday

Hello all, I just moved here from CA and am excited to meet the local miata people here. How do I recognize you guys? I'll be wearing a brown leather bomber jacket if anyone finds me.

Sounds like a good turnout... I'll try and make it out!

In. Wearing a Miata 20 Years Laguna Seca sweatshirt.

Somebody text me if you're still going strong at 2200... I'm in class until 2145-ish...

I really wanted to make this...but i'm out. Typical car's torn apart in garage/school/family/kids excuse.

Dang. Must be bad if you're turning down free high-end beer. Hope to catch up soon though.

I'll be there right around 7. Y'all know what the car looks like!

Too far and too queer for me. Have fun space-docking.

Yeah, beer and hot chicks are gay.

Anyway, I'm on site. Olive green t-shirt over a gray shirt and jeans. Find me.

Yer all late!

I'll pop by in the 95 if any wants to check it out.

Just finished playing plumber at the condo, looks like I'm not gonna make it.... so much for day off, lol

Good to meet all of the new guys. The Flying Saucer is a nice venue for a GTG! Too bad the Bass Club was taking up the patio with their meeting.

Good to meet all the noobs tonight! I'm all aboard for putting the Saucer in the regular rotation. BTW, on Sundays the Saucer has all Texas pints on fire sale - helluva place to grab some lunch and stalk the young talent.

Y'all come out to Keller's next Wednesday if the weather's decent!

(BTW, there was a stray unpaid check at the table, but I took care of it. I gotcha covered this time, but ya owe me some beers next time...) ::BaHump::

^I wonder if that check was for my wife. The waitress was supposed to have combined our check but I bet she didn't. She left early, so the waitress probably didn't think to give it to me (she wasn't paying very good attention anyway...). If it was for a sandwich and a drink I'm sure it was hers, and if so I'll be happy to compensate you the next time I see you. :)

It was a really great night meeting everyone. Good crowd! I'll have to upload the pic later.

Sad i couldnt make it. when i get my car back together next couple weeks ill be out to kellers or wherever. well hopefully

I dont know why, but the atmosphere at thd Flying Saucer seemed so much nicer than Kellers.

Its definitely a nicer place, but you have to sit and TALK to a bunch on Miata-owners with no cars to distract you from them!

You mean it doesn't smell like cheap beer and recycled cheap beer?

And the waitresses are really cute (they dont look like they just got released from a half way house). :)

edit: of course I am writing this while standing in line at Freebirds where everyone that works here just got out of drug rehab!)

How's the food? Last time I went to the Saucer years ago, the menu was pretty lacking.

+1 on Freebirds; you're spot on. One can't judge a book by the cover, but it's hard not to when the cover has graffiti, metal protrusions, and holes everywhere.

Sorry I missed this one. Hopefully y'all will do more events at the Saucer.

Yeah, the saucer will be a regular. Maybe mix it up with Dodie's at the harbor.

And FYI, there's a new Freebirds in Rockwall (4 miles from the Saucer) and there are no customers that look like crack-heads. We simply don't allow that shit out here in Rockwall-ish-ness.

Sorry for the garbage pic; I only had my cell phone and the headlights from the wife's Volvo:

That's the best looking UFO lot I've ever seen :)

The check Rick paid for was 26 bucks without tip. That's more than a sandwich and a beer.

Wasn't me, I only had one black & tan.

It wasn't mine was it? When the checks came mine only had one beer on it. I asked our waitress and she said I had already paid for my other 2 beers and food. Damn short term memory!
