First in person meeting with a member of Tide Fans!

Duane (formersoldier71) had PM'd me last week saying he will be in my area for work purposes and asked if I knew of any decent dining establishments in the area.

One thing led to another and we met last night and had dinner at a local steak house. Talked a LOT about football and a little about Tide Fans along with the usual stuff but I really enjoyed Duane's company and hope that at some point there will be other opportunities to meet forum members when they are in the area.

I'll let Duane tell you about the practical joke we played on my buddy Bob who works at Publix here in the seafood dept. Bob's a UA grad like Duane so I sent Duane in to ask for some of that "Crimson Tide shrimp" ("Don't give me any of that Florida Gator shrimp!")

Enjoyed it Duane....will talk again after the big game tomorrow and see how things shake out.

;)

I've met Simon Bott (who used to run the tape board), the late bayoutider, happy tider, and BamainBoston (the date was 10/27/12, and we played Miss State - Hurricane Sandy hit a few days later).

And I've texted crimsonaudio but we missed each other twice, and I've emailed Tide-HSV a few times.

Just got back home a short while ago.

Bob lit up when I asked about Alabama Roll Tide shrimp. That made his night, I think. Definitely a cool moment.

I am glad that you got to meet me. :biggrin:

But really, I want to thank you for your hospitality and generosity. I enjoyed the evening.



By the way, have you noticed the Alabama decal on the back of your vehicle yet?

Selma,
I was supposed to be in Dallas the week of the USC game. I ended up having to go somewhere else.
I was looking forward to contacting some folks there... Maybe next year.
