DFW Texas summer Flashapalooza 2010!!
Sat. May, 8 2010
5:00 -10:00 PM
(or so)

Located at:
Veterans Park
2482 Spanish Trail
Arlington, TX 76016


GPS users, when I punch in the address, my GPS gives me the wrong location. I had to navigate to this coordinates to get the correct location:
N 32.70507, W 97.16236
if you look at google maps, it's listed as
32.705070, -97.162360

Under the Big Pavilion

We really did it this time! We have reservations under the pavilian at Veterans Park. It has all of the eminities, seating for 120, 18 picnic tables, a grill, lighting, and electrical outlets.

A huge thanks to those that made this happen, now it's time to get the word out! Hopefully this is the biggest event yet. Everyone welcome, friends, family, neighbors.

We'll start pot-luck style, bring something to eat if you can, I'll get a list going.

ha! i actually will be stateside that weekend, but i think i would assuredly be divorced if i went to dallas instead of spending time with my brand new son,1 year old daughter, and my wife out in south carolina. I'll get on google earth and look for the beams.

Hey Guys,
When you get a chance, check out the new:

DFW Flashapalooza 2010 Social Group

Make sure to join the group. I'm not quite sure how groups work, or of what benefit it may be, but it may prove to be a useful tool to get a hold of everyone when there are updates to the GTG. It will definitely make it easy for me to see all the members who are interested in attending, and get PM's sent out faster.

Thanks again Greta for the help!!

Hopefully the trend will continue! I've got a lot of promotional stuff coming in from different manufactures and vendors. I'm also working on getting a raffle going for everyone attending, I've got the tickets already. I've got a lot of surprises up my sleeve!

EDIT:

From our friends at lighthound

Fenix TA30 Cree Q5 LED 4 Level Flashlight

They also donated door prizes for the first 20 in attendance:
