Once again, I’ll be making my annual visit to Houston, Texas. Hoping to see fellow dopers while there.
I’ll be flying down on the 12th and back on the 26th. Offhand, I’d guess that the best days would be the weekend of February 20 or 21 but I’m open to other suggestions.
I’m not part of the HouDope crowd normally (we do seem to have this things 'round this time), but I will be in town around the time you will. Unfortunately, I’m not currently slated to get in until a few days after you leave. So I’ll unfortunately be MIA.
I not sure, yet. I may be out of town for my batchelor party/trip on the weekend of the 20th. My bride-to-be is having her shower on Saturday the 13th so that may work better (for me, anyway).
Anyway, I hope it works out. I always enjoy chatting with you when you’re in town.
Sunday the 21st works for me. We have tournaments out of town on the weekend before and the weekend after, and on Saturday the 20th, we’re doing an expo over at Memorial City Mall.
Well, I’ll go ahead and open the ball by suggesting the 21st. How about 1:00 or so for lunch?
And how about location? I missed last year. IIRC, I suggested Three Dragons but I have to sadly say that the food quality at 3D has been going downhill lately.
There’s a Fuddrucker’s on Kirkwood, about a block north of Westheimer. Plenty of seating available for a group, and reasonable prices.
We can also do sushi if you want - plenty of places on the west side.
We close on a house the 22nd so there’s no tellin’ what frantic activities I’ll be saddled with. If I can make it I will but it’ll be a last minute decision.
It looks like I will not be going out of town after all, so a tentitive yes to the 21st. As to time and venue, what you suggest, Clothahump, is fine by me.
Slight hijack. Clothahump, whatever happened to the film you were involved in? I was getting email updates from the director (?) for a while, but then, nothing. I was looking forward to seeing it.
One o’clock on the 21st works for me. And I know that Fuddrucker’s so the location’s fine (that’s the one right around the corner from Half-Price Books right?).
Relatively new to the ‘doper’ community here, but would like to meet some of y’all F2F. I’m normally w/my daughter on Sundays, but might be able to work things out to meet at Fuddruckers… I’ll subscribe and watch this thread for updates…
Hi Little Nemo, long time no see, good to hear that you are making it back to the bright lights of the big city. The 21st is open for me and that fudruckers is just around the corner from my sons place and not too far from where I live so barring disaster I’ll be there and I might get to bring my new grandaughter to meet the group. See you then.
Peace

Believe it or not, the project is still ongoing. The director had massive Hurricane Ike problems (not to the level that we did, but still bad), but he’s recovering and still working on the post-production. Release date: Real Soon Now.
I’ll see if I can come over or not; previous tentative plans in place already for the 21st. Hopefully everything will work out so I can stop over and see y’all again!
