If y’all have Houdope on a weekend, I should be able to make it. ---

Ive got a plan. The out-of-town trip for April 10 weekend has been postponed a week. So how about Saturday, April 10, 5 p.m., at a location inside the loop. I propose The Stag Head, in Sheppard Plaza. There is a new place called The Red Lion a few blocks farther north on Sheppard Plaza. ---

Well, I would like to hop over there for a Houdope again; been a long time since I’ve made one. I wonder if you even remember me, **Road Rash** , since it’s been a year or more since we last met. Too bad you won’t be there, **Ayesha** , but I understand. I’ll help keep **LIONsob** in order, if I make it. _innocent smile_ And what’s this about no East SA dopefests, **unclviny**? Hmmm? You got something against us San Antonians? _pretend angry look, eyebrow raised_ Easter weekend is out for me, though. Possibly the 17th or 24th. As to place, I have no ideas, not living there. I will be staying with my SIL in Katy, though, and will need really good directions to wherever we end up, if a weekend I can come is decided on by the masses. purrplebear, looking forward to meeting new dopers, like **JavaMaven1** and others… ---

Katy qualifies as “East San Antonio” and for those of us that don’t live on the west side of town, ESADF’s are tough to get to. That said it looks like I will still be here (CA), I came out here to work for 28 days (I arrived here on Jan 2nd), but we are starting to get really busy. Unclviny (who is very whorelike and absolutely CAN be bought, that’s why my 28 days aren’t upyet) ---

My membership here is going to expire by the end of April, so I’ll no longer be a Doper then. Reckon I might could try to go see a HouDope before then. I’ll see if my schedule will allow a convenient opportunity for me to leave town unnoticed for a day (possibly for another day to get back to town if the party is that good). Might need to see about getting a ride from Daoloth. That reminds me, it’s been a while since the last time I’ve seen him. Anyone know where he went? ---

> [@Road Rash](#): > > I have reduced my net fix a bit, and I don’t usually go to MPISM very much, thus, I keep missing Houdopes. Maybe I can get on Ringo’s mailing list or something.

I don’t know how the Alamo Draft House one went, but I am more interested in conversation over a couple of beers and food rather than a movie. If we do it in April, I’m out of town the weekends of the 3rd and the 17th. The rest are good for me. ---

I think we should get to arrangin’ this here thing. 🙂 So far we have decided that a weekend is the best time. Now, the only weekend that works for **JavaMaven1** AND **JustPlainBryan** is the 24th and 25th…Bryan comes in on the 24th, so that might be a tad rushed, but I don’t know what everyone does on Sundays. Obviously we have already missed the first weekend in April. Looks like the 17th is out for a few people, as is this upcoming Easter weekend. So how 'bout it everyone? Does the 24th-25th work? And we need a location, I don’t know enough about Houston to set the location inside the loop. ~J ---
