No one could, nor should!

So Squish, now that all the boys will be tagging along, are we officially renaming our little soiree from GGW Dallas to Bucky's P2D2 --- Bucky's PlayaPalooza Does Dallas?

Consensus is: Bucky's Playa Peeps Do Dallas - The P2D2 Tour

So far I have the following Playa peeps on the lineup:

Squish
Bucky
Tyramania
Becky
Bill (Becky's husband)
Denisea
Keith (denisea's husband)

Si... this preliminary list is now confirmed. Add to the on-going registration: The nortorious Baylor Boyz!! CallMeRog and co. will also be in attendance!

Of course, rumor has it that the following Playa peeps may be added to the line up:

SCTX
Little Irish looking girl (SCTX's better half)
Mr Bokankles
MJ (Mr Bokankle's better half)

We await word from the above delegates as well as a delegation of CPFV - this is an all call!!!! And... what would be better than to have the real McCoy Playa Peeps join us? Boss man... rustle us up some natives! And... we await word from THE Michael HolmES and wife!

Now I do have a few questions for ya'll....

When and how will we be notified if additional Playa peeps have signed on?

Well, we def. need more peeps for this tour. Attention all Playa Peeps... please view the following URL and get inspired to join our P2D2 Tour. FOr more info PM Squish.

Are there plans to add any Cool People From Vermont to the line up?

Will the Bumper be in town to chronicle the events and enlighten the less priveleged with daily trip reports?

Is there tequila invovled?

Does anyone know the best way to get from the DFW airport to Tyramania's house?

Splurge for a cab!


What's the weather like that time of year? I heard it is HOT! Will it be too hot to enjoy a concert on the field? And what if it rains? Will I need to bring a rain poncho?

HOTHOTHOTHOTHOT---- with added heat!

I read that Cowboy Hats and Boots are required in Texas. Where's the best place to buy these? Should I buy them at home or can I just wait and get them there?

Indeed... you will need a kewl cowboy hat! Hopefully there will be some left when you arrive in Dallas

What's the best form of currency to bring? Do I need to exchange my dollars beforehand? Can I use my ATM card? How about credit cards? And how much money should we budget for 2 people for 3 days?

YOu should always bring pleny o' cash to an event like this. I would estimate 1k each should do ya!

Well, I think that's all my questions for now. Any/all info is appreciated. Thanks in advance for your replys!

In the future I would suggest you use the SEARCH function, however we will need to adapt your finds to the Dallas region.

To all Playa Peeps.... this is an ALL CALL to join the P2D2 Tour in JUne!! HOpe you can make it.

1. SCTX and Little Irish Looking Girl have their tickets, we'll show you our's if you show us your's!

2. If Michael holmes is really Electra(o), I would suggest he keeps a low profile while he is South of the Red River and East of the Pecos... you never know how the locals will react to one of them cross dressin Hollywood Liberal
types Learning how to dip Skoal and spit in a clear plastic cup while wearing a NASCAR or John Deere or Ford cap might throw most of the locals off your scent

3. Is there Tequila involved??? Bucky, do really have to waste my time with a silly question like that.... Tequila is like and American Express card to a Texan... DLHWOI!

4. Best way to Tyra's house???? Well, if ya'll are half the "party animales" you lead us to believe, I would assume you just follow the police sirens and park as close as you can to the cars w/ the flashing lights.

5. Hot??? June is still winter here!!! It shouldn't be much warmer than 99 degrees (F). Can't even fry an egg hard on the sidewalk in June, got to settle for over easy with a runny yoke. IMHO (James taught me that one, mostly).... it's never too hot to enjoy Carlos, Eric, JJ Cale, the Vaister, ZZ Top, BB, and Brian May

6. Cowboy hats/boots are only legally required in Texas when:
a. Your Born (or divorce court, same thing, mostly)
b. Hunting
c. You get married (or funerals... same thing, mostly)
d. You die

To give ya'll an actual idea of the importance of boots to Texans, here's a true Marine story: My Dad slipped on a flight of icy steps (u guessed it, in Kansas), went to the hospital with a compound ankle/lower leg fracture... the doctors grabbed a saw and were fixin to cut the boot of his broken leg when he screamed "Cut my boot and i'll killya, you pull it off and don't get any blood on the damn thing!!!" OUCH!!!

7. How much cash to bring??? Awe come on, that's just ridiculous, everyone know we barter with horses and steers.... it's them Okies north of the river that trade stuff for little scraps of paper and pieces of fake silver!

Now every one practice now.... say: "Kin ya'll pass the backstrap n taters... thankya"

[Tyramania]

Yep! It's true! Many Playa Peeps in Dallas come June!

In addition to the concert on Sunday, there will be a few other activities to keep us busy. Plans are in the works for a golf outing on Saturday afternoon, as well as a pre-concert fiesta at my house Saturday evening. We also hope to take Bucky around to all of the major tourist sites for the requisite photo op (Bucky in front of the school book depository is a must).

Would this be called Bucky Does Dallas.

[Mikey]

I would just like to say If you get a chance check out the Stoneleigh P. Its a great place to start before an event. Close to The Cotton Bowl, AA Arena, West End, Dealey Plaza, and Deep Ellum. The P has a Patio with misters, Pool table, Bigscreen TV, and GREAT DRINKS!
It can be as laid back or as up beat as you like. Also within a five block area there are more Bars and great places to eat and drink within walking distance. Its on the corner of Wolf and Maple. Down from the Cresent Hotel.
Also on McKinney we have a couple of old Trolly Cars that have been restored an can take you up and down Mckinney.
Also check out PRIMOS at Mckinney and Hall. (Enjoy a Meltdown on the patio.)
We live across the street from the P and If you Guys and Gals, Ladies and Gentlemen, need a place to cool off we have one of the best watering holes In Dallas. A big pool with old Oak trees hanging over the deep end.

We were originally going to call it that, however, one member of the planning committee, who shall remain anonymous, had an um...err...issue with it.

Tstar.... with the mention of "big pool" I think you are our new bestest friend! The question is... do y'all have yer tickets?

Apparently Bucky likes bar referrals, as well as site-seeing input! Thanks for the info and looking forward to meeting y'all.

Scott: great boot story... I have my OWN Doc Martin Sandal story for ya... they actually DID cut them off... but I got'em sewn back together. They are now my "CRASH" sandals, which I will sport in Dallas in your honour! :p

Hey, I resemble that remark! You see, when quickly reading the word 'Bucky', it kinda looks like someone else's name here.
