Please RSVP to the poll at eGroups by 5 p.m. Friday so I'll know how many will be there.

This is yet another chance to meet other Houston Dream Theater fans, plan our upcoming Spring party, play some games, and grab some food. This is a BYOD event (buy your own dinner).

This is also another good chance to sign up for the DTIFC (the OFFICIAL fan club). Print out a form and bring your dues.

NEW Mailing List

UPDATED 4/22/00 - The mailing list has MOVED!!! Please join the NEW mailing list at eGroups. The old mailing list will shut down SOON, so join the eGroup NOW! (Did I make my point strong enough? ;-) )

The best way to get in touch with other Houston DT fans is to join the Houston Jammers Mailing List at eGroups. By joining the list you will not only meet other fans in the Houston area but also be informed of upcoming concerts, release parties, other special events, and general get-togethers. This will also be a discussion list, so any progressive music-related topics will be permitted.
