Hi Susan,

Depending on traffic ;-) we'll arrive sometime in the afternoon on Friday the 15th and depart Sunday around noon or so. I'm bummed-it would have been great to join all of you! Next time perhaps. Take care, AnnMarie

LDLee -- Great idea! As soon as you said that, Taco Milagro came to mind. It's at the corner of Kirby and Westheimer. What do you think?

Here's their link: http://www.cafe-express.com/www/html/tm/tm_home.htm

I'm totally open as to whether it's a Saturday or Sunday or lunch or dinner and which of the last 2 weekends in April. Does anybody have a preference?

I vote for the last weekend in April but don't care whether it's Sat. or Sun. Taco Milagro would be great unless it rains. It is smallish inside.

I've also been thinking that Taco Milagro can get pretty crowded outside if it's a pretty day, so it might not be the best option for us. It's hard to gauge how many people we'll end up having.

I looked on Citysearch and Teala's supposedly has an outside dining area (and great margaritas). http://houston.citysearch.com/profil..._1_profile_2_1

Lunch might be less crowded wherever we go. Any other ideas?

What's GTG?

Statia

Well, I just found out my mom has three dueling offers on her house. Thank goodness! Finally! So, I might be in Houston in the next few weeks to GTG with SOMEONE! Even if I can't be there in April.

Personally, gotta go with Teala's over Taco Milagro. If we do it during the afternoon, Teala's might let us reserve the patio. Might also consider Cafe Adobe or Cafe Noche. Both have good size patios. Or Scott Gertner's Sky Bar. April is such a great month for being outside, no reason to spend it cooped up indoors.

I vote for Teala's too. Great patio and great margaritas, ole!

GTG = get to gether.

Maybe we should opt for a Saturday happy hour GTG -- maybe from 4 to 6 or 4 to 6:30. (I guess that makes it a happy 2-hour.)

Teala's sounds good to me. Should we plan on Saturday April 23rd?

Sorry about messing up the formatting of this thread with the long link in the previous message.

Susan

Deal.

4/23/05, 4:00 p.m., Teala's.

Susan, thanks for making the decision. Can you call Teala's to see if we can reserve the patio, or do you want me to do it?

Just as an FYI, the 23rd is the first weekend of iFest. I still want to do the GTG that day.

Lindsey

Also, if anyone wants to email me offline its

Lindsey,

I'd be happy to do it. I wonder how many I should make the reservation for? Perhaps for now I can make it for 12, and as we get closer I can try to get a better head count and adjust it.

Of course, everyone's welcome to bring spouses, friends, parents, kids, whomever.

For those of you who are planning on attending, please send me a quick e-mail at [email protected] so I can get a list together to correspond with you as the time gets closer to get a head count.

See y'all at Teala's at 4:00 on April 23rd!

Susan

Oh no! I'm so sorry, but I just realized that April 23rd is the start of Passover. (I need to get a better calendar.)

Are y'all up for switching the GTG to the following Saturday -- April 30?

Susan

LDLee

Good for me.

Lindsey

OK, is that the final answer....hmm, I mean, the final date?

4 pm, Teala's, Saturday, April 30th?

If so, it is on my calendar now.

bellairegirl

Yes, that's the plan. I need to call back to Teala's tomorrow to talk to their party coordinator to reserve the patio for a large group, so I'll confirm after I do that.

Thanks!
Susan

bellairegirl

IT'S CONFIRMED!!!

I have a reservation for us at Teala's at 4:00 on Saturday, April 30th on their patio. (The reservation is for 12 people, but I'll get a head count when we get closer and adjust the number as necessary.)

I'm looking forward to meeting everyone!
Susan

Statia

You all have fun! I wish I were going to be there during that time. We expect a GTG report, too!
