Slipstream - November 2003

Happy Hour at Railhead Smokehouse
by Dennis Chamberlain
Twenty-eight hearty Mavericks
braved the storms and outrageous
traffic to attend the
happy hour at the Railhead
Smokehouse in Colleyville on
September 11. I didn’t see any
Cayennes, but on this particular
evening I wish I’d owned one.
Happy Hour Crew: Dennis Chamberlain, Most of us were the hardcore
Tinker Edwards, and Mark Gluck constituents, but we also had first
time attendee Mitch Ballard from
Coppell. It is interesting to note that Mitch has been a Maverick
member since 2001, but this was his first time he’d attended one
of our events. He has previously been a member of the New
Orleans Region. He acquired his ’86 911 in 1996, and has spent
the last couple of years working on it. Now that it’s all fixed up,
he said he isn’t inclined to take it to the track. But no problem –
he just bought a 944 turbo for that purpose.
The Railhead is well-suited for our happy hours. The serving
line works well for us, with no waiters, and the food and beverage
prices can’t be beat.

We’ll have some musical entertainment
that evening (see ad on
Page 2). The Abbey has an extensive
menu, and it’s very reasonably
priced.
After the October Happy Hour
at RPM Café in Irving, we’ll have
our first happy hour ever in
Richardson on November 20. The
location will be at the Richardson
Abbey (at Coit and Campbell).
