The February 2006 meeting of the DBC was
held at the Pink Galleon Pool Hall, Bar and Grill in South St.
Louis, MO. Though this was just a few short steps from the
front porch of the infamous BooBash Castle, Julie chose to save
wear and tear on her lithe appendages and graciously accepted
our offer to cart her to said destination. The meeting was
originally scheduled at Frailey�s Bar and Grill but upon
inspection, and after taking note of the rather subdued
atmosphere, it was quickly decided the Pink Galleon would be
more conducive to the special needs of the DBC. Cell phones
were manned, calls were made and members were informed of the
change.
The Pink Galleon was a lively, happenin�
joint, where the beer was frosty and nachos and cheese abounded
freely. Luckily this offset the extremely slow waitresses and
loud music enough to ensure an overall enjoyable evening.
Though the BooBash�s had been neighbors of the Pink Galleon for
many years, up until this night they (or at least Julie) had
never darkened its door. She can offer no good explanation for
this but vows to make amends in the coming months.
Laura, Julie and Elaine had barely settled
in when Matt and Jeannette joined them some minutes before
7:00. It didn�t take long for Nancy and Teresa to arrive and as
we always say, 7�s a party, and so we did. Mark and Fred kept
us waiting until approximately 9 bells and the meeting was
finally called to order at 9:10 p.m. Julie wanted us to take
it back because Laura gaveled and hence it was not considered
official. Nancy conceded and officially gaveled the meeting to
order at 9:10.20
Our Inspirational Guru delivered the
following inspirational message. After hearing this
inspirational message, we were all inspired.
"Sometimes
the beauty of the world is so overwhelming, I just want to throw
back my head and gargle. Just gargle and gargle, and I don't
care who hears me, because I am beautiful."
