Lightbulb Local runs?

I think it would be cool to get some locals together and try to run some dynos together or some charity stuff. Any bites? I'm in the Dallas area.

Now that I'd be down for. Maybe bring some grilles, food and drinks (adult and underage) and take donations for the food for a local charity. I'm sure with enough interest, we could make something happen... Maybe make some flyers to put on all the windshields of F series trucks that we come across in our travels. I know for sure one day I counted 87 Ford pickups on the way to work... JUST ON THE HIGHWAY- that didnt count the ones in parking lots on the sides of the road. Oh, by the way- it is 20 miles from work to home.

Hells yeah, but we need to let this simmer for a little while in here to see if it can get more eyeball traffic and possibilities.

Houston is 1 hr west of me or New Orleans () is about 1.5hr east. Take your pick. I am willing to drive a few hours if it ends up to have a good turn out. But to be honest, if it is just you and I there playing charades after driving two hours- I might be a little bummed. I'm sure you'd feel the same way.

I'm not a big fan of charades anyhow so yeah, I'd be bummed. I do hope this gets some more weight behind it cause this could be fun...
