I will be pretty close in another couple weeks, **lieu**. My parents’ house is about five minutes away from Longwood; their subdivision is near the Huffmeister and Cypress-North Houston intersection. ---

We are considering a little trip to San Antonio around Aaron’s birthday. Y’know, scene of the crime and all that. Besides, PA isn’t that bad. Think of it as Texas with hills and trees. 😉 Robin ---

**Ringo,** I’d go but unfortunately I drive the kind of car that needs a papal blessing before it’ll even start. Much less get all the way to Houston and back. However, if there is ever a San Antonio Dopefest, count me in! (That, or if my lovely fellow Dopers would care to sponsor a new vehicle…HEY! No hitting! It was worth a shot!) 😃 ---

Hey **Audrey**! I understand the transport blues. But keep watching this thread; there is a Doper clan in S.A. that has been known to make the trek to a HouDope gathering. ---
