Pre-10th!

brujita — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 23:33:32 -0800

I'll be in Houston between 6-29 and 7-9 and would like to get together. I'll be staying near the medical center/ Hermann park and will be renting a car.

What are you in town for, and what's your schedule like? Since I'm still in newbie-wants-to-meet-people-and-do-stuff mode I'd be up for something (work permitting).

Not anything in particular....just thought I'd make a side trip before the 10th. I'm pretty much free, but I want to make a day trip to Port Arthur while I'm here.

I'm free. I'm out in the 'burbs so I don't really know what's in that area (other than the zoo & museums) but I'm always game for a meet-up.

Ok, I'm calling it for 7-7....location tba

Well, for food there's Raven Grill near your location. You should go there even if you don't meetup there.

By: casarkos

casarkos — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 15:05:53 -0800

I think I'll be free, but please give me enough time to drive up from work.

Has anyone been to Beaver's? Looks interesting.

By: brujita

brujita — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 17:09:47 -0800

Beaver's at 7:30. Casarkos, will that time work for you?

By: Avenger

Avenger — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 23:49:17 -0800

I'll probably show up. Sounds like fun!

By: Avenger

Avenger — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 23:50:02 -0800

Send me a reminder beforehand, though. I constantly forget good stuff like this.

By: brujita

brujita — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 01:51:37 -0800

It'll stay put in the meetup sidebar until midnight of the 8th.

Beaver's is tasty and has a nice patio. I'll try to make it.

oh, hey! I'm in, too! I've always wanted to meet you. brujita. AND I want to see pics of LittleMissCranky's baby, or maybe she'll bring bambino along?

Brujita when are you going to PA? I'll be going through there Sunday. I have people there, do you? Are we related?

By: brujita

brujita — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 23:19:32 -0800

I haven't decided yet....my background is Ashkenazic Jew, so I doubt we're connected. The main reason I'm going is for Janis.

By: mrbill

mrbill — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 23:35:12 -0800

I'll be there, if for nothing else that I really need to get out of the house.

(but hey, if random women want to drop by with casseroles and pies before then, feel free, just give me advance notice so I can put clothes on)

By: brujita

brujita — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 00:03:27 -0800

Mrbill, I'm not sure how much help I can be on the domestic front, but please know my thoughts are with you.

By: mrbill

mrbill — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 07:42:25 -0800

Sorry for the derail - but if someone has recommendations for a good maid/cleaning service in Houston, please mefimail me.

By: Houstonian

Houstonian — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 09:00:37 -0800

Holy shit, mrbill, I missed that AskMe. Wow. You are in my thoughts. I have no recommendations for a cleaning service, but if there's anything I can do please let me know.

I'll be at Beavers, 7:30

By: casarkos

casarkos — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 16:18:26 -0800

omigosh. mrbill, I am so sorry to hear that. Cannot help with the cleaning service either, but I hope you're doing okay. I'll be at the meetup with some form of baked goods.

By: mrbill

mrbill — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 19:24:35 -0800

I'm sorry for derailing this topic, y'all.

By: LittleMissCranky

LittleMissCranky — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 20:29:12 -0800

mrbill, what area of town are you in? I have a couple of cleaning recommendations, and I'm usually good for a casserole.

By: LittleMissCranky

LittleMissCranky — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 20:32:50 -0800

And pomegranate, I will likely bring at least one baby along, but I'm not sure if it will be the 1-month-old or the 8-month-old. But I'll bring pictures of both.

By: mrbill

mrbill — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 20:53:11 -0800

LMC, will PM with info as to not ruin this thread.

By: brujita

brujita — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 07:29:01 -0800

Will we need to make a reservation? I had been several times to the place I called as a backup for the last NY meetup and there had always been plenty of room. This last time it was mobbed and we were lucky to be given a spot in the garden.

Wooo Hooo.... A meetup in Houston. And really close to me. I might just have to show up!

By: brujita

brujita — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 10:51:56 -0800

UPDATE:

I came down with the flu the Thursday before I left. I'm over the main part, but I'm still coughing up gunk and don't have a voice. I hope I'm better Tuesday, but if not just go ahead and meetup without me.

By: casarkos

casarkos — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 21:54:27 -0800

Have just discovered that work assigned me to late hours on Tuesday, so I definitely can't be there :( Have fun, all.

Next time...!

By: pomegranate

pomegranate — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 03:40:44 -0800

So, how are you brujita, feeling any better? Are we still planning to meetup if Brujita can't join us? I'd like to, but I'll have toddler in tow, so Mamapotomus and Little Miss Cranky, if you're coming, please bring your small ones too....

By: Houstonian

Houstonian — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 16:40:18 -0800

pomegranate, I was still planning on going if it's still on.

By: Avenger

Avenger — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 20:07:09 -0800

I'll be there if its still going on. Beavers at 730!

By: mrbill

mrbill — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 07:28:07 -0800

I'll be there assuming I don't get lost finding it.

By: WolfDaddy

WolfDaddy — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 08:09:52 -0800

I had thought I would be able to make it tonight, but won't be able to after all. Hope you're feeling better and able to make it brujita and I'll definitely see you in New Orleans!

Have fun at the meetup everyone!

By: brujita

brujita — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 11:07:27 -0800

I'm still coughing up green crud, don't have a voice and I don't think it would be a good idea for me to be around small children, so I'm going to have to pass. Go ahead and meetup without me.

If there's an exhibit or opera in the future that looks interesting, I'll definitely come back and call a meetup then.

By: mrbill

mrbill — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 15:20:32 -0800

Pomegranate just asked me to let people know that she and Maggie aren't going to make it tonight.

By: Houstonian

Houstonian — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 16:07:30 -0800

Well, wait! Are we all bailing out then? Quick roll call of those who are going, please.

By: mrbill

mrbill — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 16:07:34 -0800

I'll be there, a fat guy with a brown tshirt. I'll look for the freaky internet folk.

By: Houstonian

Houstonian — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 16:10:25 -0800

If it's just the two of us, maybe we should reschedule for a time when everyone can make it? Because so far, that's WolfDaddy, brujita, Pomegranate, and casarkos who are not attending...

By: mrbill

mrbill — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 16:11:50 -0800

There's LittleMissCranky, is she showing up?

By: Houstonian

Houstonian — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 16:23:50 -0800

I just sent a Mefi mail to Avenger, LittleMissCranky, and Mamapotomus, asking if they are still coming. I guess, if I don't get a response I'll bow out too, and wait for the next meetup.

By: mrbill

mrbill — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 16:38:00 -0800

I'll wait another 10-15 minutes and if we don't know for sure then I'll wait this one out too.

By: mrbill

mrbill — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 16:50:31 -0800

Okay, see everyone next time. I gotta go buy cat food.

By: Houstonian

Houstonian — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 16:51:08 -0800

Yes, me too -- disappointed, but looking forward to the next one.

By: LittleMissCranky

LittleMissCranky — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 21:12:03 -0800

Sorry, everyone...we had a total baby meltdown this evening, so the meetup completely slipped my mind until late tonight. Hope we can reschedule soon.

By: Avenger

Avenger — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 23:56:57 -0800

Hey guys sorry about that. I was at work until 6pm and couldn't make it in time. Reschedule?
