I can receive emails and I do have access to the internet. As far as where I am in Houston, I can’t tell you if I’m east or west. I’m off of Northwest Highway near the Hollister exit. There’s a really big Tinseltown movie theater right down the street. Does that help any? It doesn’t matter to me where the gathering is held. As long as I can get a map on [yahoo.com](http://yahoo.com), I’ll be able to find the place. ---

Okay, since no one will bite the bullet and make any decisions, we missed Mr. Cynical. So here goes: I propose Thursday, July 13, 6:00pm till whenever. It appears Chuy’s on Richmond is getting the attention, so we can give that a try. (Crossing fingers on food quality and service.) I picked Thurs so I can be there, to give time for everyone to check in, and because I don’t have to work on Friday. 🙂 Also, back to back SD meetings Thurs & Fri. Questions? Comments? Brutal attacks? Who wants to post a map? (Note **I** may not be there precisely at 6, 'cause I gotta drive in from Clear Lake. Also, I don’t know when Chuy’s closes.) ---

Thursday, July 13th, after work, Chuy’s on Richmond it is! I can make it, I’ll email Grace, I know it’ll be the weekend of the 30th when we see Ayesha and The LION; so, how about it Ignatz, kelliebob, Sealemon, Shanin, Cumulus, et al? We’re still working on the 30th, but I think we’re firm for the 13th. Feedback? Chuy’s is at 6328 Richmond Avenue, (713) 974-2322. Any other previously unchecked in Dopers, feel free to attend! Surprise us if you’d like! Looking forward to it! ---

I finally have gotten back on the board. I had problems all day yesterday and this morning. Thanks for the email beatle. I will be there. I’ve taken down the address and will put it into yahoo to get driving directions from the hotel. I look forward to seeing you all. ---

I can’t do it on tomorrow (7-13), but I think the 30th might work out OK… See you all then. ---

There’s a really big Tinseltown movie theater right down the street. Does that help any? The place you’re staying at is about five minutes from where I live! I won’t make it to today’s meet: Won’t get out until 6:45, errands out the wazoo to run afterwards), unless y’all plan on hanging there for awhile. If so, maybe I’ll surprise you guys… The 30th looks good so far. Any ideas on location? ---

Last minute bump! Sorry we stole your thread, Ayesha, but we’ll make up for it. ---

C’mon now, Houston area Dopers. If you’re sttin’ around reading this and it’s 7 or 8 tonight, hop in the car and come to Chuy’s; we’re waiting for you. You can see Grace’s picture and mine on Shayna’s people page, so you’ll know us when you see us. ---

[QUOTE] \*Originally posted by Sealemon88 \* \*\* > [@](#): > > The place you’re staying at is about five minutes from where I live! > \*\* Sooooo, does that means I’m invited over for drinks? 😃 I’m sorry you weren’t able to make it tonight. We were there until 10:00 but I guess you just couldn’t make it. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Irishman and beatle for meeting me for dinner. Irishman made the plans and beatle followed them up with a telephone call to give me directions. I enjoyed the food, drinks, and especially the conversation. Thanks guys!! My apologies to Ayesha for hijacking the thread. I wish I could’ve met you and your husband but hopefully I will have the opportunity on some other occasion. ---

Consider me duly chastised for not checking the boards often enough. As usual, I’m a day late and a dollar short. (I’ll accept donations, tho… 😉 ) So, umm, how’s the 30th looking? ---

Just to add my comments, Thursday night was fun. All you people who wimped out you missed a wonderful visit with Grace. Beatle and I kept it lively. Okay, who’s working on the 30th? I think beatle had a suggestion for the place. ---

I am posting this while looking over my shoulder ! That LIONsob has ha me off line for 99.99 % of the weekend, working on the computer. Beatle, if you have a suggestion post it. I have to make this fast, he’s got the screwdriver and that "just one more thing look in his eye again ! HELP ! ---

Grace was an absolute pleasure to meet and break bread with, y’all (ain’t gonna end no sentence wit’ no preposition)! Oh! Shayna! The tales! \ And, as always, Irishman is a good encounter. And the beat goes on… Yes, the 30th is a steady date. We have high hopes of seeing Ayesha, The LION, Sealemon, Shanin, kelliebob, Ignatz, beatle, Irishman and whomever else (you listenin’ TheNerd? Cumulus? starfish? cooldude? Cess?). Subject to group revision, I propose the Richmond Arms (5920 Richmond Avenue, (713) 783-7722) for Saturday, July 30th, beginning 5:00 P.M. They have a patio that we might commandeer if it’s not too hot, and an A/C’d pub inside, with full kitchen. I’m open to other suggestions, but, lacking any, this _is_ the plan. Check in, Houstoids… ---

Um, folks… July 30 is a **SUNDAY**. July **29** is a Saturday. If y’all are planning on meeting Saturday, July 29th, count me in. My sister lives in Houston, and if I can bribe her to babysit my son for a few hours, I’m there. If not, maybe the little guy and I will appear for a little while. Much thanks to **Irishman** for emailing me about this July meeting. -h\_thur who has been very busy at work and is very grateful to Irishman for notifying her of this event. 🙂 ---

Hmm…, I don’t really remember _why_ I have a calendar on the wall next to my monitor. Anyway, yes, make that **5:00 PM, Saturday, July _29_, 2000** at the **Richmond Arms**.
