We're only 2.5 hours apart. If I'm still in Texas next year, I'll just come visit. I have enough friends in Dallas that it's never hard to find an excuse to drive up.
There's no point -- no one here supplies it. I went to every grocery store and liquor store. Talked to the liquor store owners. They won't stock it because they say no one would buy it.
I'm not sure if you guys have "Michael's Craft stores" in your area, but Hobby Lobby should have them, too. Or any craft store. They are about $8-12 each on sale for the big ones. They're just hallow foam pumpkins, ready to carve. You can even buy carving knives special just for foam pumpkins. I recommend doing this.
Mark. I need that beer. If they sold it down here, I'd have found it by now (I am craving a pumpkin ale like something that craves something a lot). I will be back in Dallas soon. Hook a girl up. Payment in whatever form you choose (and I trust you enough to choose wisely).
