She works as a mermaid but was banned from a mermaid meetup I think the two of us plan to be there- unfortunately I lost a friend very unexpectedly last week and my world is a little upside down, but would love to come if we can.
    As long as we just stay chill and respect each other, we can all have fun...to that end, I personally don't feel a big group of mers should be talking about any adult stuff anyway in public where it may come back to reflect on us- especially with all the local mers in the news lately. Now anyone can tell you I tend to get LOUD but even I can contain myself. :3

    I did make an FB event, but I am vacay so I will make it more proper and post the link in a few days.

    Whatever they said at the time seemed reasonable enough, I think they were concerned about safety or something. But look forward to it

    I'm excited for this. It's been too long since I've been around fellow merfolk. Plus, I can't wait to try my new tail I've been working on.

    Normal park hours are 24 hours. I'm guessing around noon is best, I know I'll be there till about 5pm or later if my family decides to camp.

    Its been a while since I been on here. I haven't done anything with the fb event. It's really there as a reminder and nothing else. I have no events planned or anything for it.

    Idk what time we plan to get there. Probly early for me cuz I am not playing games with the sun.

    As I mentioned before, I plan on getting there about Noon time to sunbath and get a few laps in with my monofin. I won't be done with my tail in time, sequins take time and a loooot of patients. I do hope to see some locals and out of towners at this event! I'll be the black girl with white/silver hair and a mermaid themed outfit.

    This'll be my first meetup! I'm trying to get more involved with the community and not be a closeted mer! (As in lurking the forums and swimming in my tail at home)

    Hoping to have my top and headpiece finished by next week, can't wait to meet whoever will be there!! =)

    The weather at Joe Pool is looking overcast for Saturday, partially cloudy on Sunday, but we all know how Texas weather can change. Ft. Worth is set to have thunderstorms, so I'll be keeping an eye on the forecast to see if that storm moves Southeast. It may turn out that Saturday is stormy but Sunday okay, in which case we can either all try to swim Sunday or just hold a dry meet on Saturday (or both). Dry meet would be either a mall, restaurant, or Starbucks since we are all addicted to that magic siren juice.

    It looks like the huricane might be changing things for Saturday. If anyone is up for a dry meet, I'd love to know a location that you ladies and gentlemen would up for.

    Oh dang, I got work off saturday just for this! Like Katyah said, I'm up for a dry meet if I can still make it!
    May happiness find you and yours...and remember bad times are just times that are bad.

    It looks like the nearest mall is going to be the Parks at Arlington. There's a Starbucks inside near Dick's Sporting Goods, if I remember correctly. Did we want to try for a noon or evening gathering?
    I'm not sure if making a Facebook event page for it would be better. I don't know any 'semi' active groups that would even consider it, besides friends of friends making their own private one.
    What say you fellow DFW mers?

    I'm cool with the parks, I actually went there for the first time about a week or so ago and really enjoyed it. As for time, I'm free at anytime on Saturday, so whatever works best for you guys.

    So after consulting 3 different weather websites, I got 3 different forecasts: one says cloudy both days, one says scattered storms both days, and another says partially cloudy both days. So Sunday's weather doesn't look any better or worse than Saturday.

    Since some people are traveling and specifically requested off for Saturday, I suggest we for sure do a dry meet on Saturday so we can at least see each other faces in person. Parks Mall at Arlington has been suggested, since it has a Starbucks and a Barnes & Noble cafe for coffee as well as an ice rink and Round 1 arcade. While at the Saturday dry meet, we could discuss trying for Joe Pool Lake on Sunday, see if the weather stays the same or gets better. Unless anyone has any better suggestions for plans??

    Of course the weekend we try to do a Texas meet, we get the worse hurricane in a decade. Stay safe, south Texas mers!
