magic bullet

the gang on the grassy knoll

last weekend jay and i hosted "the magic bullet" bus...sounds strange, yes, but read on - it was such a great time. to begin, the crew met at the sixth floor museum at 4:30pm for a tour. i had never been - and to have never made a trip there while living in dallas is just a crime. it is a great spot and very interesting.

at 6pm the bus arrived. we loaded up about 30 of our friends and began the little journey. our friend doug led the charge with his expert-insider-info on that last day of jfk's life. we headed first toward love field, where kennedy landed in dallas. here we made a stop at club schmitz, which is across the street, for dinner and trivia - and then headed down the path of the parade, learning little interesting bits of history all along the way. the bus made a stop at the grassy knoll next, and we were all amazed at how many other people were there - that place was slammed with tourists!

the group then re-lived the escape route lee harvey took - to his house and then on foot through oak cliff. we also made a stop at the nearby belmont hotel for a good view of downtown.

the last stop was none other than the famous lee harvey's - a restaurant/bar in south dallas. we had a great time with friends and learned a lot along the way. i even had t-shirts made for the occasion with the warren commissions' magic bullet theory outline on the front. pretty hilarious. we were definitely a hit with the "hardcore" people at the museum...very funny.

some pics from the night:

good times and happy friends!
