In Houston Dec 20-27 - Anyone want to get together??

[waypoint]

Hey yall.  I'm in Houston too... at least the rest of this year. Count me in. The 26th sounds pretty good, I think the Mrs. is gonna be out shopping and returning gifts.  I actually live on the NW side 290/Jones and can meet up with yall whereever yall decide. Looking forward to it. Just let me know. Merry Christmas.

290/Jones?!?!  Wow!  I used to live there in '96!  Now, I live 290/Cypress-Rosehill area (a little further out than you).  You're so close!

So, we have:

Kaybo and Dave
Pooter and Jenni (possibly)
Brendalu
MsMaggie
Waypoint

Anyone else gonna join the fun?  It sure will be nutty with all the deal-hoppers out too!

Regards,
Brian

I am CRAZY trying to get everyone packed and ready to go - I will write again after we get there - we will (hopefully) leave for the airport at 3:30.  If I can only GET THERE, I'll be good and can relax a bit.  Addi has been sick all week with a horrible "fever" virus (104.5 Tuesday) so I've had that to deal with too.  Thanks, Brian for taking the ball on this one!!  Waypoint - SO glad you are going to join us!  More later!

Good luck getting out of town!  I hear there are "major delays" all over the country today.

For those that are sensitive to sound, I have 4 options for you to choose from.  Since I'm not as sensitive to sound, any of them are fine with me:

1) Bravos Mexican (obviously Mexican food) at 290/Bingle
2) Logan's Roadhouse just past 290/Bingle (Everything Americana)
3) Pappadeaux (seafood) just past 290/Bingle
4) Pappasitos (Mexican) just past 290/Bingle

Bravos is probably the best bet for lack of noise, but it's cheaper Mexican than Pappasitos.  Logan's (as MsMaggie can tell you) has everything from burgers to sandwiches, salads to steaks, seafood to peanuts (okay, so I couldn't think of anything else).  Only caution is that if busy, Logan's can become loud (as can 3 and 4).  Pappadeaux and Pappasitos are both higher end on the scale of food (and price) and can become loud if crowded.

Our thought was to have lunch at around 11 to try and beat some of the shopping/lunch crowd and because we heard thru the grapevine that earlier is better for MsMaggie.

You guys pick.  Any of those places is fine with me.

Regards,

Brian

Brian~

Brian, I thought this AN thing was suppose to be rare 1 in 100,000. You're just gonna have to move further away.  I just don't feel special anymore.   Just kidding.  I was gonna suggest Logan's Roadhouse but open to whatever yall decide.

[Pooter]

Haha.. Funny, I was gonna tell YOU to move further away because *I* didn't feel special anymore..   However, with 4.5 million in the Houston metro area, your 1 in 100,00 means there are 43 more of us in this area.  Think we can get them ALL to move away?

Okay, 1 vote for Logan's.  Brendalu and MsMaggie, you guys are an important voice as to where we go for lunch.  Your vote matters.  Don't be shy. 

Anyone else?  Anyone?  Rumor has it that Phyl is taking the ANA Leer to the UK but will fly back (and around) the country to pick people up and bring them to Houston.  Just ask her.

Regards,
Brian

Logans sounds fine to me and early is best for me

 Hi to all,
I actually don't have any time constraints.  Last time it was because of family schedules, but I'm footloose and fancy free at his point.  I did enjoy the food at Logan's and will probably order the same thing again
I'm looking forward to it! Are we still on for the 26th?

Priscilla

[Pooter]

So, Logan's just past 290/Bingle (in front of the theater.. just past Hooters and TGIF) it is!  How does 11 sound for those early is best?

We have 6 to 7 so far... Any other takers?  Last chance..  Waypoint, are you bringing anyone with you? 

Regards,

Brian

Is Nashville too far for Phyl to swing by with the private jet? 

Sounds like you guys are in for a great time!  Wish I could be there!!

Lori

[Kaybo]

Got it!!  So excited!!  Putting in our request for the use of a car - guess we can rent one if we have to!   
See you there!
Brian, I will try to PM cell number in case you need to call!

[waypoint]

It will just be me.   The wife will no doubt be shopping.

[Pooter]

Okay.  290/Bingle-ish, Logan's Roadhouse at 11am on Friday (THIS Friday)!  There should be about 6-7 of us (including spouses).  Everyone be there or be square.

Lori, just ask Phyl to pick you up in Nashville.  I'm sure it won't be a problem. 

Anyone who wants/needs my cell # just in case, PM me and I'll send it to you.

Regards,

Brian

[Kaybo]

VERY excited to meet everyone!!
