Houston Get Together
We have seen the Boston GTG out there on the east coast, and the Hawaii GTG way way out there in the Pacific- now how about something in between? We are talking Houston-Space City. I know there are a few regulars on this forum that hail from Houston so how about a GTG at a local restaurant? Of course we would welcome all the regular characters. The wife would like to meet some of you and talk travel. Gloria- if you come I'll promise not to diss the Oriental. Guen - we have a Four Seasons here! Bob- we will try to have cashew chicken on the menu. I'm thinking of having a GTG at a Japanese or Chinese Dim Sum place. The Asian food in Houston is second only to SF and maybe NY. Ok Houston does not make it on anyone's top ten travel destinations in the US but it does have great shopping, low prices and good food. Timing - its best to do it in the fall where the temps are in the 70's.
Ok lets hear from y"all!!!!!

I'd love to attend if I'm in Houston at that time. Although I have lived out of the country for years, I hail from Houston and go back to see my family when I can (usually in the fall).
Keep us posted.
Keep us posted.

I am going to keep aware of this one because though I am moving back to Spain on July 11th, I always hit Houston when I am home (hey Aunt Vicki!), and with my erratic travels, anything is possible.

I will keep everyone posted- nothing firm as yet- still collecting info from interested parties. I was thinking Fall for the out of towners due to the weather and more than likrly the airfares will drop in the fall.

Topping to keep it current. Probably by next week sometime I will be focusing on dates. need to know who is local and who is from out of town that might be coming and dates to avoid. I'm thinking mid September maybe early October- weath is really great and the airfares should be lower. Also will likely have it at a Japanese or a Chinese Dim Sum locale for lunch.

I'm relatively new to Fodors, but I'm in! If you want to go more Chinese or Vietnamese, Chinese Cafe (China Town West - Bellaire) is a family favorite, but a little small. Kim Son just opened a new place outside the Beltway that looks huge.

That really didn't come out right. Certainly don't "stay away" from game days. By all means, come to the games! In fact, if you're in town, we cook up a mighty fine tailgate party BBQ. Y'all are invited!
What I meant was please try to schedule the GTG on a weekend when there isn't a game.
That's better.

Lyn and Kopp:
I'm thinking of Dim Sum at Ocean Palace on Bellaire- it can handle larde groups.
Also, Kopp- I'm thinking of a Saturday lunch in the mid to late September or early October timeframe. But noting is firm as yet.

Here's the schedule:

If we can avoid the weekend of 9/24, that would be best for me. But if that's what works for everyone else, I'll see what I can do.
