\*\*Sassy \*\*from San Francisco is visiting us here in Space City! Who wants to get together? We’ve been toying with the idea of a mini fest in the **Houston Advice?** thread here in IMHO. Kemah boardwalk is one of the places suggested for us to meet. Bonus for **Sassy** : This weekend is the annual Tax Free Weekend here in Texas. It’s not free on everything but here’s a list of what’s covered: [http://www.window.state.tx.us/taxinfo/taxpubs/tx98\_490/tx98\_490.html](http://www.window.state.tx.us/taxinfo/taxpubs/tx98_490/tx98_490.html) ---

Id love to have a houston mini-dopefest! Its been way too long since Ive been to Kemah anyways. Ive heard its just gotten better and better since I was last there. Tax free weekend is crazy though, I would stay away from malls at all cost. (unless you like Foleys, go now and every $50? you spend you get a free $10 gift card for tax free weekend) ---

It’s not free on everything but here’s a list of what’s covered: [Tax Publications](http://www.window.state.tx.us/taxinfo/taxpubs/tx98_490/tx98_490.html) I’m game. Location / Date / Time? I’m hearing a lot of folks saying we should get together down in LandryLand (a/k/a the Kemah Boardwalk). I might not be able to make it if it’s in Kemah, but if it’s closer to the west side, I’ll probably be there. Our last few HouDopes have been at Joe’s Crab Shack on Richmond; always a good place! ---
