OK, so here I am in Houston. At a hotel right outside the airport. We had no internet connection until about 20 seconds ago. My evening schedule is pretty open.
Anyone up for drinks or dinner either tomorrow or Friday?
Anyone?
As we are still setting up computers it may take me a while to get back to this thread, but get back to it I will, I promise. I don’t have e-mail access, so plans (if we make any) will have to be made in this thread.
I would say some place close would be nice, but honestly, all I can see from the hotel are runways, rental car places and a Taco Hell, so, close is not a necessity. I will probably rent a car today, and with a good set of directions, could be pretty much anywhere after about 7:00 pm.
Since I know very little about Houston and what is around, I will leave all the details to you Houstonites, if ya don’t mind!!!
OK, I’ll be checking back in a little bit (about 6 ish) to see if I’m gonna be heading into Houston tonight or if its just gonna be another night of crappy drinks in the crappy hotel bar.
Let’s shoot for tomorrow night - I’ll be able to give it a little more thought. Right now I’m not sure I could direct you into Houston. Unless, of course, you’re willing to try this:
Wait - I’m typing, but I’m posting now so you’ll know I’m on the case.
Whaddya think about this?
Come south on I-45 until you come to the I-10 exit (~10 mi.?) and take I-10 west until you come to the N. Shepherd/Ella Blvd. exit. Shepherd is one way northbound and Ella is one way southbound. Take Ella south until it merges into Shepherd just before you go over Memorial (couple of miles). Stay southbound on Shepherd for about eight lights (the last three, in order, are Westheimer, W. Alabama and Richmond). After you pass Richmond, Shepherd makes an S curve to the right. Take a right at the first street (Portsmouth) and go one block. To you’re right, on the corner, will be the Stag’s Head, a pub. Their phone number is (713) 533-1199. All together probably about 20+/- miles from where you are.
Yeah! Thanks again guys. I can’t tell ya how nice it was to be out of the hotel, eating real food, having a good drink and some amazing conversations. I’m just very glad I left before we got to my incarceration stories!! :o
Zap_Rowsdower and road_rash it was really great meeting you.
Zap have fun this weekend sailing!
Ringo, good to see you again, and thanks for keeping this thread alive.
road_rash you didn’t post at all to the thread, but you came out for drinks, man, if that doesn’t define trooper, I don’t know what does.
