Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

	Last night I had dinner at the Mansion on Turtle Creek in Dallas. The dinner was due to winning a silent auction item and was probably one of the top meals I have had: Meal: Foie Gras with smoked salmon, terrine, spinach and toasted brioche Arctic Char sashimi, green apple, jalapeno, chili oil paired with Ginja Shizuku "Divine Droplets" Junmai Daiginjo Sake Oysters Hot and Cold - Oyster topped with Ostera Caviar with a small cup of Oyster Stew with Fresh shaved summer truffles paired with Txomin Extaniz Txakoli De Guetaria 2006 Lobster Hot and Cold - Butter poached lobster and Lobster Carpaccio paired with Gini, Soave Classico "La Frosca" 2006 Steamed Alaskan Halibut, celery root puree, almond mile and toasted shaved marcona almonds paired with Frederick Mabileau St Nicolas "Les Rouilleres" 2005 Sweet Breads and Brown Butter paired with Bouchard Pere & Fils, "Beaune du Chateau" 1er Cru 2005 Japanese kob and white tuna surf and turf with kimchi butter paired with Bouchard Pere & Fils, "Beaune du Chateau" 1er Cru 2005 Chocolate & Corn - Warm chocolate financier, corn ice cream, molasses As we were eating dinner, we were next to a table where Anthony Hopkins was eating dinner. As he finished dinner we knocked on the glass seperating our rooms and all toasted him. He was very gracious and came over to our table and shook our hands and made small talk for a few minutes. All in all a wonderful evening. -----signature----- Parson Jack Russell the Bunny Master Level 80 Gnome Warlock, Silver Hand Level 80 Sword, Harvestgain http://www.gordonkeith.com http://www.greyhoundadoptiontx.org
