I haven’t heard anyone complaining highly about the April 14th date for the meeting, so with the agreement of the others I would like to go ahead and make that our date.

The **Ale House** seems to be the #1 choice for places to go right now, but there is nothing that says we can’t continue to look.

**alonicist** : I am sure one of the other HouDopers could give you a ride, just let us know what part of town you live in and the closest to you can toss you an email and you can work it out! See, I know how these things work. 🙂

Sqrlcub will be in Houston Monday evening-Thursday afternoon for a conference. You guys could possibly entertain him one of those nights if it was this week. But any excuse to get together and drink…

Sadly I work in the evenings when he is not working otherwise I would be happy to take him out for a drink or two. I can suggest some good bars and the like if he wants to email me. 🙂

**SqrlCub** : Hey, man! I happen to be off Monday through Wednesday: Compressed work schedule. What part of Houston are you going to be staying in? Email me if you want.

To the Houston Crew: The 24th is fine, as long as it’s in the evening, preferably after 7:00.

The 14th of April is a definite maybe. I’ll know better closer to the date.

Still don’t know if I’ll make it but I’m off Wilcrest between Bellaire and Beechnut, right outside Beltway 8 out west here. 🙂

Since when am I on the maybe list? Why would I want to hang with you miscreants?!

Really, I don’t know if I can make it on the 14th - that would be the 3rd road trip in three weeks for me - not such a good idea when you consider my grades. 🙂  
But I will keep checking back with you guys- hopefully circumstances change.

[shameless begging in disguise as a threat] Sealemon if you get to meet SqrlCub and I don’t I will have to do evil things to you , not that it would be anything new. [/shameless begging in disguise as a threat]

Miscreants? I came to Austin for your Dopefest, so you can come for mine! 😛

We do hope you do get the chance to come down and until you say no, then you stay on the Tenative List sub[/sub].

April 14, 2001 at Baker Street Pub or the Ale House. Most likely the Ale House though.

If **beatle** would be so kind as to post the link, I would be greatly appreciative. 😃
