I wish I could meet you guys, as I live in Houston too, but I’m bowling on Thursday. If you’re in a cab Mr. C, just tell him the address of Bayou City, 4730 Richmond Avenue.
Your hotel is in the SE quadrant formed by Loop 610 and 59.
The restaurant is in the NE quadrant, near the Newcastle exit of 59. Fairly close.
Well, thank you, Dolores!
I’ve since moved hotels, to the Courtyard Marriot, and am a little bit closer now!
Should I walk? If I get too drunk to walk, can someone give me a ride? 
Mr C, honey, baby, darling , sweetheart. I’m sure we can work something out. 
Oh man, you’ve got that right! My very first dinner in Houston was at Atchafalaya, and I simply could not eat all the food that they brought.
That’s partly what kept me in Houston for almost 5 years.

Criminy! It looks like I’m going to have to miss out on this one. And I was so looking forward to it. Alas, something has come up that I can’t bail out on.
Have fun for me and take good notes so I can find out what I missed.
Home stretch bump-a-thon activated…
10 yard line bump.
I’m not gonna make it, after all. Mr. Mamapotomus has to go out of town and will be unable to baby sit.
I felt guilty about going out on my birthday instead of hanging out with my family- this must be instant karma. Now I’m not going anywhere, and doing it by myself. 
Ok, I’m done whining now. You kids have a great time and somebody please take notes (and have a drink for me). 
Irish and MamaP have gone south, but I think we’ll still draw Revedge and Ayesha with LION and the Sealemon/Shanin connection. And whomever else we can coax out of Houston.
Bippity, Boppity, Bump!
I should be there! Yea!
About 7:00pm, dont eat all the grub or dirnk all the booze before I get there!
Drat ! I really wanted to meet Mamapotomus too ! Oh well. Yes LIONsob and I will be there. You will know me easily, I’ll be with the guy wearing the domesticated werewolf look.
Just a bump. Come on folks, there have to be other Houston area dopers willing to come out and play !
Headin’ on over there now. C’mon y’all!
And the wardens are all distracted!
I’ll be on my way in just a few!
Just another plaintive cry of "Why can’t I ever live near enough to a DopeFest to join in the fun?
I realize that this is getting old, but everytime I read a DopeFest thread and once again I can’t go, I get teary eyed.
