DAPL

As a Landman in the Dallas area, I am a member of Dallas Association of Petroleum Landmen (DAPL). This organization is made up of Landmen from all around the city and from all different companies. I like it and I try to stay pretty active in it. I actually got he job I have now through someone I met at a DAPL golf tournement. DAPL hosts social gatherings, casual meetings, parties, and a formal meeting. Its mostly a bunch of guys who network and walk around thinking we are more important than we actually are. Its good times, I enjoy it.

Well tonight was the formal DAPL meeting at the Dallas Petroleum Club. To be member of the Petroleum Club you have to be invited and its made up of Dallas' most elite Oilmen; I am not a member of that. But they allow different organizations to use thier nice facility on the 39th floor of Chase Tower, so that's where we were tonight. There were several of my co-workers at the event which included cocktails, dinner, and a speaker. The speaker tonight was the man who owns the company I work for and that bears his name.

The speaker is one of the richest men in America. And since Alexis and I were seated at a table made up of his employees we had the privilidge of meeting him. It was pretty cool. If you click on this link http://www.dapl.org/ then it will give you a hint of who I am talking about and where I work. (last time I posted the name of my company once and I was told by the company to remove thier name from my blog). We had a really good time, well I did, Alexis got bored at times. But she enjoyed meeting my co-workers and I was sure glad she came with me.
