Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

So it’s Hickory Hollow Restaurant @ 101 Heights Boulevard (713-869-6300)

-OR-

Two Rows Restaurant and Brewery @ 2400 University Blvd 2nd level (713-529-2739)

on Saturday, 02/15/03 at 8:00 p.m. After we eat we’ll walk next door to a bar (for those who are so-inclined, though no guarantees on the smoking status in a bar!)…

Dolores can’t wait to meet you! And yes jinwicked these links have maps - but they’re MapQuest generated… honestly I’ve no idea how to get a “non-MapQuest map”… anyone?

Coding courtesy of Lord Jim and Ringo… thanks guys!

Okay. I’ll go to the restaurant but I won’t be going to the bar. I don’t like people drinking alcohol around me.

63

Hrrm clothing…

Are either of the places that are being considered for casual?

I’ll comb my hair and try to make sure my sideburns are even, but… that’s my limit.

64

What??? It’s formal or nothing, mister. I’ll be the girl in the blue sparkly princess dress and tiara. Ladies, full length gloves are mandatory!

:wink: :wink:

65

I am soooo not wearing opera gloves… I got rid of my velvet opera gloves a couple of years ago, and I’m not buying new clothes just for a Dopefest.

Are plaid miniskirts OK?

66

BOTH of these look pretty casual; if the Hickory Hollow is anywhere near as good as the one out here on Fallbrook the BBQ is pretty darned good!

I’ve never been to the Two Rows restaurant but they have a link on their website to a FREE DESSERT printable coupon ::yum:: oh, and a map, too.

So y’all pick – we’re meeting at 8 for dinner!

As for what to wear, I’ve heard clothing is optional – but I’m wearing some!

67

I’ve been to Two Rows, but not to Hickory Hollow, so I’ll vote for Hickory Hollow.

That’ll go well with hot rod flame boots.

68

Just popping in to say that I wish we could be there, but, well, distance being what it is and all, we can’t. Have a good time, and raise one for the Doorses.

Now I just need to know who’s buying mine. :cool: :smiley: :wink:

Yup, me too, but that weekend is reserved for my SO. If you happen to go to Two Rows, ask to be seated in Nicky’s section (if he’s working that night), or have Mike the Bartender serve you (geez, I spend way too much time in that place!) Both those guys are great and will ensure you have a good time.

71

No way! I know Mike the bartender! Best bartender in Houston! Dry wit, hella nice guy.

72

I went to HH last night (m/c club meeting) and ANGIE told me “no problem” as far as the date, she told me that there will be a band that night (it’s generally small, quiet, folky type stuff) but that she could seat us up front (I guessed and told her 20 people) but I did not set anything up.

Yeah, my momma still dresses me funny…

74

Some? SOME? In ** guy ** speak that means little… So just how little?

75

[size=1]grumbles about guy-speak… bloody Mars aliens, the lot of you![/size=1]

Some. I’m going to wear my bikini. Honest. Really.

[size=1]sometimes REALLY loves girl-speak![/size=1]

However, I’ll also be wearing my concealed-carry license… I just love Texas! :cool:

76

Hmm, concealed what CasperQ? Does this mean you will be packing?

77

Interesting… I think it’s time for Lightnin’ andRingo to meet! Maybe he’ll wander on up from Austin. I promise to bring the popcorn and share with Froggy! <chuckles>

78

I vote for Hickory Hollow. I’m looking forward to meeting all of you. I’ve never been able to attend one of these because of my situation, and now I will!

:slight_smile:

79

Lighnin’ and I have met a few times. Nice enough guy, but he talks funny. :wink: I doubt we’ll get him to come on down to Houston.

I’ve never met brachy, though.

See y’all in a few weeks!

So Hickory Hollow it is… see y’all there on the Feb. 15th (the day after someone’s momma has prostate surgery… ;))

Oh, and unclviny, since you’re likely to be there between now and then, can you handle the reservations? I’m guessing ~15 if everyone shows! At the very least, it promises to be interesting! :cool:
