Here are the eagerly (well maybe not eagerly ;)) anticipated pictures from the Houston Doper meeting in July. Sorry it took so long guys. This is the first time I have made any kind of web page and it took me a while to figure out. Ok enough talk, here they are… [Pictures](http://www.geocities.com/shanin281/HoustonDoperMeeting.html) ---

Great pics, Shanin. I’m very sorry that I missed it. I’ll be sure and come next time, if I possibly can. The guys look just as _delish_ as I remember them looking from my first dopefest in May. 😉 You look great too, Shanin! And, it was nice to see what h\_thur and kelliebob look like. I can see I wouldn’t have fit in with all of you beauties there. 😛 ---

Great pictures! And oh my…after seeing Seale with facial hair, I may have to update that crush list!!! (That is, if Shanin doesn’t mind, of course!!) 🙂 ---

Awwww, stop it, ladies! You’re giving me an attitude! What do you mean, too late? The pics turned out really well, Shanin. Very nice job! **Open letter to the Houston Lurkers and shy posters:** Come to the next meeting! We’re harmless (Mostly), and we always have a good time. We’ve had several of these meetings now, and _no one_ has had to be bailed out. Not even beatle. 🙂 **Ayesha and LionSOB:** Make sure y’all make it to the next meeting, m’kay? I’m having withdraw. ---

Your page was great, Shanin! Thanks for the link to the notes, too- I was offline all week and didn’t know they’d been posted. It was great meeting everybody and I hope more people make the next one. - The poster formerly known as kelliebob 🙂 ---

I like the name change Mamapotomus it’s cute! I remember you talking about it at the meeting. I was worried we had scared you off since you haven’t been around. 😉 _(If anyone would like copies of the pictures let me know and I will send them to.)_ ---

Great job, **Shanin**! I appreciate you taking the initiative on that. Glad to see you back, as well, **Mamapotomus**. And we now know **Ayesha** and **LIONsob** (is that right?) will be more easily able to attend future meetings, so I’m looking forward to the next. **Irishman** and I will be representing Houtown in Vegas (remember we’re ambassadors, Irish), and we’ll report back. And **Seale** : > [@](#): > > **Open letter to the Houston Lurkers and shy posters:** Come to the next meeting! We’re harmless (Mostly), and we always have a good time.

Like a limo with pretty flags, an entourage, marine body guards? Or does that mean we have to behave? 😉 > [@](#): > > What? Am I the wildman of the Houston IRLs? Well, you were the only person who didn’t drive himself home last time. And I seem to recall you having a little trouble with the math on recalculating the bill. 😉 Sea lemon88 said: > [@](#): > > Irishman: > quote: > _Yea! The pics are up.

That the one where you’re … roaring(?) and making that gesture with your hands? > [@](#): > > Well, since our Resident Houdope Booze Hound™ Ayesha wasn’t there to get sloe screwed, you were the stand in. Was that “screwed slow”? Didn’t we have enough doggie style already? 😉 Hey folks, what’s truly not captured was the true depth of the darkness in that corner. When we got there it was fine enough, because of daylight. But we didn’t get the camera till the sun went down, and by the time we were lighting the candles, we could barely see across the table. We _had_ to steal the candles off the other tables.
