Oh my… someone very kindly pointed out to me that this thread is hovering in the wings! **Ringo** , you really need to e-mail a few of these folks - what about **mamapotamous** (sp?!) and a few others I can think of?? **Siegfried** and **lieu** , I am right there with you location-wise!! I have lived within 15 minutes of the Cypress-N-Houston and Huffmeister intersection all of my very long life. 😃 Someone remind me I’ve got volunteer duties on the 4th if I start feeling too… sociable! \ And since there was a noticeable lack of cameras at the last outing for those blackmail, er, scrapbook photos - someone should think of hauling one along!! But not for photos of ME, of course… 😉 ---

The food was good, the weather ought to be OK in that first weekend in May, they kept all the Joe’s-Crab-Shack silliness inside, it works for smokers and non-smokers alike, it’s reasonably centrally located and the under 21 age thing is not an issue. > > I’ll go further and suggest early afternoon on Saturday, the 3rd. 2:00? 3:00? Feedback? \*\* We have a promotional testing that morning, so I might not be able to make it on the 3rd. But I will try! If we can make it three-ish, so much the better. ---

Wish I could make it, having grown up in Houston and all, but the Carolinas have got me by the short hairs right now. Mayhaps a great web-fare will pop up for that weekend, but otherwise you all will have to tell me about it so I can live vicariously. Have fun. Pablito ps: **Casper** , thanks for the notice about this. ---

I gotta wear my hat? Aww, jeez. You want me to wear that fur felt hat outdoors? It’s lined even. Phooey, can’t I just show some skin instead? ---

Show off some skin? Okay, I’ll be buying you a drink as well. Dear lord, I can’t believe I am contributing to the flirting problem on the SDMB now. ---

Perhaps they will let me dance on the table… 😛 ---
