Houston Dim Sum mini-GTG May 3rd
 
Hi, y'all:

Moldyhotelsaregross, MSheinberg and I are going to do a Dim Sum GTG in Houston on Saturday, May 3rd.

<b>Dim Sum</b> is a form of breakfast/lunch cuisine from Southern China where food comes in small forms in many varieties, and we'll all share the different dishes. And we'll drink Chinese tea for beverage.

It will be very informal, inexpensive (around $12, including tip; definitely no more than $15). I won't make any reservations, but will just go at 11am to get a table for whatever number I'm expecting. Because of table size, I'll have to limit the total number of participants to 12.

If you're interested, please post here, and also email me directly at
&quot;rkkwan at earthlink dot net&quot;. Any comments and questions also welcomed.

I will bump this up once a while and also update an attendant list.

-Ray

Would love to join everyone.

Woohoo! I'm glad to see this off the ground!

I hope that Volcanogirl will be able to join us. The idea of this GTG started when she was asking about Dim Sum.

rkk - I believe my best friend is planning on coming. I've not been able to catch her since the date has been finalized. Will let you know as soon as I hear back from her.

Bumping this up. We want more participants!

RKKWAN knows how to throw a party. This is going to be big. See you there.

rkkwan- I'm going to tentatively say YES! also. :) I'm in Dallas, but planning on traveling to Houston to see the Pompeii exihibit. My former MIL lives there and I will be visiting with her, also.

This sounds like fun! I should have a firm yes by next weekend.

This will by my first GTG. (I'm a virgin GTGer! :-))) I'm looking forward to putting faces to some names! (not to mention the dim sum!)

Hmmm... I don't see anyone on this list with &quot;kidney carving&quot; skills!

I've thought about dim sum at least twice each day since this gtg was first being planned. I'm excited to go with a master!

MSheinberg Apr 14th, 2008 01:13 PM

Moldy, you have seen rkkwan in action and know that he is truly the best. Looking forward to seeing you again.

Ray -

I'm definitely still in for the lunch but my best friend won't be able to join us. She has a conflict.

rk- will you let us know count around the 1st? If we are not 12, I'd like to invite a &quot;non-Fodorite&quot; friend. :)

Paula

Austinites and San Antonians, why don't y'all come down? (MFAH has the Pompeii exhibit!) :-D

rkkwan Apr 22nd, 2008 05:25 PM

Paula - Bring your friend. No problem at all.

rkkwan Apr 22nd, 2008 05:26 PM

Friends and family are always welcomed at all Fodors GTG.

rkkwan Apr 27th, 2008 01:59 PM

Bumping again! Dim sum coming Saturday! Let me know if you want to join us. We should have about 9-10 participants now, and have room for 2-3 more.

sarge56 May 1st, 2008 03:20 PM

Bumping one last time? Dim Sum 48 hours away! (Ok, 42?) :)

See y'all there!
