> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > I just want to be sure about the location (old timers know what I’m talking about). We are talking about the Chuy’s at 9350 Westheimer (between Fondren and Gessner) and not the Chuy’s at 2706 Westheimer (near Kirby) right? Yes. That is the location that the map link I posted is pointing to. ---

Hey Clothahump, I’d stop by and talk a little karate with you today, but I have an early gig, so, maybe next time. ---

As you may gather from the posts, there was some confusion. You’d think that when you have people arriving at a restaurant, telling the host that they’re expecting more people to arrive and to please direct them to the existing group, most people would spot the pattern. But it took the guy almost forty minutes to figure out that the two groups he had were two halves or a larger group. ---

No prob. I’m probably going to set up another HouDope this summer. We gotta do this more often than once a year. And as Little Nemo mentioned, we had some confusion, but managed to resolve it and a great time was had by all! ---

Ringo, I took your recommendation and we visited Brazos Bend State Park. A very nice place. And we did see alligators. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/houston-meeting-in-february/646913.md?page=2)
