Maybe I’m still dazed and confused over the time change. Or perhaps my brain hasn’t fully thawed. But are we now planning on one or two meetings? And let’s start getting a list together of who’s attending. ---

Oh good, I thought I was the only confused one. 🙂 I believe I’ll be in for either day, right now my work plans are the only ones I can’t change. M-F 8-5, so I’m set for either Wednesday nght or Saturday…or both! ---

I’ll be there for both, Wednesday at Baker Street Pub and Saturday at Tia Maria’s. How about that? ---

Hey, Ringo! We’re gonna have to have a post party for you pretty soon! Approaching 10,000 is incredible! ---

Which Baker Street Pub? I don’t see any on University but I know there’s one on Westheimer and I can Google for three more on W Gray, Morningside and Bay Area Blvd. ---

Baker Street Pub on Morningside, in the Village. Hooboy, it’s great trying to organize while the board’s having a major fit of wonkiness. ---

So it’s Baker’s Street Pub on Morningside at 6:00 pm. According to an online map, it’s near Rice Stadium between Kirby on the west, Greenbriar on the east, Rice on the north, and University on the south. Morningside runs north-south parallel to Kirby and Greenbriar. Ringo and myself will be there with lieu and Jaade as probables. ---

Oh, and **Little Nemo** , I will be there tonight. As close to 6PM as possible… One hitch though, I don’t know what anyone looks like! Could you email me (or you, **Ringo** or **lieu** ) and let me know who to look for? 🙂 ---

Didn’t get a chance to check the board today. Jaade presumedly knows what Ringo and I look like now. Round two is coming up Saturday. ---
