I have to go to a two-week conference in Houston beginning July 10th. Do any of the Houston folks want to get together for drinks? I’m driving down from Dallas so if anyone wants to meet, I can drive myself provided someone gives me directions.
I’m probably going to drive back to Dallas or possibly Austin on the weekend so a weekday would preferred.

Hi Grace! Sure. Let’s see how many more check in the next day or so and we’ll figure something out. My email is [mafladata@aol.com](mailto:mafladata@aol.com). I’m looking forward to it.

Great!! Thanks beatle! Now I have something to look forward to instead of working until I fall asleep.
I’ll wait to see if we can get more people to come too. Heck, I’m even willing to buy the first round. I’ll email you to get more information. My email is listed in my profile (I think).

At the rate this board is running, this is going to require multiple bumps to come together.
So, here I am. Rock me like a hurricane.

Okay, Thursday’s best, Monday is okay (if really soon), Tuesday is baddish, Wed is bad, Friday is NO WAY. (I’ll be in Dallas. :))
Though on a week night it will have to be an evening thing 'cause I gotta commute from Clear Lake.
Say 7 pm to 9 pm. Any other times are fine, but don’t count on me being there. Okay, I could probably do 6 pm if it includes dinner.
Of course you could do Friday night while I’m doing the Dallas thing. Try the doper phone call thing again? Zyada’s gotta phone on that end, who in Houston?

It turns out that I will be in Houston as well, but only on the 10th and 11th of July. Damn!

I’m stuck there the whole week (except weekends) so whatever day everyone decides is fine with me.

Possibly Wednesday
Thursay and Friday evenings are a maybe, even if it’s only a short visit.

Well, I’d like to consolidate our meeting efforts on one of the two threads bumping around, so let’s go to [this one (Note: CLICK HERE)](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=565214#post565214) for further updates.
It looks like tommorrow evening is our sole shot at Mr. Cynical. Check in during Monday if you can, man. In what part of Houston are you staying?
