I’ll be making my annual visit to Houston in February and I’m hoping to meet up with local Dopers once again.
I’ll be there from February 2-15. Most days should be available for me. The weekends are the 5th and 6th and the 12th and 13th. The 6th is a bad idea however because of the Superbowl.
I’ve been jinxed the last couple of times trying to make these, so I’ll try once again.
Any suggestions for location? I believe the last time was at Fuddrucker’s on Kirkwood, wasn’t it?
Yes. I think we met there a few years ago as well. It’s a good location as far as I’m concerned.
I went to the Kirkrucker’s on Fuddwood. No wonder I missed you guys!
I had a dream once where Elmer Fudd and Captain Kirk were chasing Woody Woodpecker.
Nothing to do with my trip but it just seemed appropriate.
Somebody poke Ringo and wake him up.
A bump. Or should I start sending emails?
AFAIK, any day in the specified range would be fine for me. I’ve never before lived within a 5-6 hour drive of a meetup, so this would be a first. If things remain as they are now, I’d really like to make it. We’ll see…my wife and I may be moving around then.
If you wouldn’t mind, might you post again near the end of January?
I’ll be in a chili cookoff on Superbowl Sunday - but if anyone’s interested we could all meet there! It’s at Al’s Sports Bar on Westheimer just west of Hwy 6. It’s a fun place!
Okay, I’ve send messages to Aithele, Barking Dog, beowulf573, BrassyPhrase, bigdfrombigd, Bridget Burke, cbawlmer, cdsilv, Dolores Reborn, El_Kabong, eldowan, flickster, Ice Machine, KAndre, lieu, LIONsob, NinetyWt, Ringo, Sam Lowry, sco3tt, ShelliBean, Speak to me Maddie!, Tamryne, Tapioca Dextrin, Tio Gringo, and Uglystick. This is everyone I could find who might be from Houston and who has an address on file.
Sorry but I’ll be watching the Superbowl with family.
If I’m around, I can make pretty much any weekend. I cold easily be on the other side of the world, though.
Saturdays are iffy for me, but I’ll try.
Aw thanks, but I live in MS. Have fun though!
I’m in the Heights…but the meeting place will have to be centrally located or accessible to public transpo, as I’m not driving.
I’m up for it, but will probably have guests in town the second weekend which complicates things. The Superbowl takes priority on the 6th, but have we ruled out the 5th?
It’s often hard to predict my future that far out, but I’ll check back in before February. I’m game if all else is clear.
Little Nemo, thanks for the note.
Hard to commit on a schedule at this point, but it sounds like fun. The location works for me, just need the date & time
Let’s tentatively set the date as the 5th and the location as the Fuddrucker’s on Kirkwood. Anyone have problems with this?
That’s the same place as last year’s gathering, right?
