Howdy Locals,
I wanted to go ahead and get this started so it could get more views. Dabo (Will) and Benny will be coming to town this week. I don't think we know yet if the funeral will be in La Grange or BCS, but should hopefully known soon. Regardless, Will and Benny will be coming to town to visit some of Tanya's favorite places.

Once I know more I will post here, but I wanted to put it out there about getting a group lunch or dinner together. I know they want to visit Dudley's (where I actually met Tanya) and Chicken Oil.

EDIT#2. Lunch will be Friday, 8/15 at 12:30 (updated time). Preferred location is Chicken Oil if we can make it work. Backup Location will be Wings n More University.

I didn't know Tanya besides her posting on the General board and here. I will be out of town for work but would like to contribute somehow. Maybe an Aggie shirt for Benny or even to the dinner.

Please let me know what I can do.

Sounds good. I'll keep you posted. I do know he is accepting some funds via Venmo/PP to help make the trip, although he may have enough or close to enough now. Folks from Texags are starting a 529 college fund for Benny, and that will be posted once its setup and ready to go.

Good Morning!
I talked to Will this morning. Below is what the current tentative plan is. I edited my original post.

Lunch will be Friday, 8/15 at 12:30 (updated time). Preferred location is Chicken Oil if we can make it work. Backup Location will be Wings n More University.


If you can please post here or message/email me if you are coming so we can try to get a headcount. While we would have loved to do Chicken Oil, it might not work well depending on how many folks are coming.

I mentioned Wings 'N More and Jose's to JMac because I remember them both having large dining rooms. Benny decided on Wings 'N More earlier today.

But if Chicken Oil could accommodate whatever crowd we have, that would actually be even better. Benny serious loves his burgers.

Chicken Oil should be able to handle us. It's also easier to have people come and go since it's not table service.

They now have a table for 20. Either JMac or I could call and see if we can reserve it.

I will try to stop by. Will likely depend on if Scott is around to watch Wyatt. Not sure I want to venture out around you all with a 4 year old getting used to being the only person around me all day long now.

Bring the kiddo! We don't bite. And it will be okay if they act out.

For those that can go but might be late - is it better if we push for 12:30?

I will be there, just cleared it with the boss type person at work.

I just need to figure out what everyone looks like, I've met the troubles and have seen plenty of pictures of Benny, maybe I can figure it out, lol.

I can be there and I'll bring my daughter, as well. She's a ginger, if that helps.
