Too bad I can’t bring the new baby too, the LIONsob was wrong, Polly will have to stay home to baby-sit Hannibal the Cannibal.

Oh yeah,

If you could wait just a bit longer, I _might_ be moving to Houston around July or August!

(I should say, _if_ I move this summer, it seems _most likely_ that I’ll wind up in Houston. And there’s a good chance of me moving because my Alpine gig is finally up!)

Cafe Adobe or Sherlocks both sound good…  
or even The Gingerman.

Pantellerite - good news!  
Greg will have two reasons to stop in.

**Pantellerite** pal, I don’t know if we can keep these Dopers in check until July or August. But I _do_ know we’d love to see ya.

So I’m going to suggest that we congregate at will in the near term, and just agree to reaggregate when **Pantellerite** shows up.

So, I am currently proposing both a late May/June meeeting, and I’ll scout locations soon, as well as a late summer meeting.

So sorry to miss this…I have never met a TX Doper I didn’t love dearly.

But…I am stuck in WA for the forseeable future.

Have fun, darlings!

Much Love,

Cheri

I just thought of something. Were there going to be any geeks there besides me? I would want to have someone to talk to.

Hey, I was distracted for a few days.

Reaggregate? _bleah_ Such a wordsmith am I.

Well I’m thinking of something like Woodrow’s or The Boat. I’m not dead set on either. My thinking is that they are relatively centrally located, which is a factor as we’ve got northside and southside people interested. They’ve got covered (for shade) open-air decks (accomodate smokers and non-smokers) _and_ they’re restaurants, so minors can attend.

Those are most of the parameters I’ve considered. Just to get things started, I’ll propose either **Saturday** , **May 25** th, _or_ **Saturday** , **June 8** th, starting around **2:00 PM** and lasting 'til whenever in the evening (to accomodate various schedules).

**pravnik** and **jin** , we’d love to see y’all.

Feedback?

It’s astounding,  
Time is fleeting…

When are your bar exams, **pravnik**?

Hey **jin** , what’s a geek in your world? I think we’ve got more than a few in the Houston crowd.

I may join y’all. Don’t make plans around me, tho. Saturdays are always best for out-of-towners but otherwise, I’ll make it if I can.
