Once again, I’ll be visiting Houston in February. So once again, I’m starting a thread to suggest a meeting. ---

I’d like to attend, but I can’t say definitely I can attend. Which date were you thinking of? ---

> [@Toucanna](#): > > I’d like to attend, but I can’t say definitely I can attend. Which date were you thinking of? As I’ve said in the past, my schedule is usually the most wide-open, so I generally prefer to let other people set a date. I should be around for approximately the first three weeks of February. There’s a little more fuzziness than usual in my schedule because I’m driving this time. How about anyone who’s interested but has days they can’t make it, post the days that won’t work. Then we can work around those. In my case, the only bad day would be February 3, when I’ll be watching the Super Bowl. ---

Well I’d love to meet you and other dopers! I’m not going to be here for most of February though. I head back off shore on the 5th ☹ Looks like I’ll probably miss out!!! Damn ☹ ---

February is pretty much open for me right now. I’ll keep an eye on this thread. ---

I’d also attend if possible. Preferably not the 10th, however. ---

I should be able to attend this one. I haven’t made the past few years, but I hope to make this one. I am also available the weekends of the 9th, 16th, and 23rd. As to where to rendezvous, may I be the first to suggest either [Lupe Tortilla](http://www.lupetortilla.com/) (either the I-10 and Echo Lane or the West U locations), or [Chuy’s](http://www.chuys.com/#/home) (the Westchase location). Why yes I am craving Tex-Mex right now. Why do you ask? ---

Thanks for asking me! We may be out of town (I swore to Fella that we are going on a vacation!) and I’m pretty sure that’s the week, but thank you! Please keep me updated! ---

I could do Chuy’s. I believe last time we did [Kublai Khan](http://www.yelp.com/biz/kublai-khan-stir-fry-houston), which I am always open to. Any other suggestions? ---

I’m really keen on attending, but don’t know if I’ll have transportation available (I’m about 3 hours away). Y’all choose a date\* and place, post it here, and I’ll PM one of the confirmed attendees about whether I’ll be there. \*I’ll be watching the Super Bowl as well, so I won’t be available on Sunday, February 3rd. ---

Okay, should we aim for Saturday the 9th? Anyone have a problem with that date? ---

9th is good. My Taekwondo classes end at about noon, so…start time of 1:00 or so? Does that work for everyone? We’ve got suggestions for Lupe Tortilla, Chuy’s and Kublai Khan. Any others? ---

I’ll make it if I can, but won’t know until much closer to the date. ---

Unless my work schedule goes wacky, which it does sometimes, I am down for the 9th. Looking forward to finally meeting some Houston Dopers **Capt** ---
