Heights2Bastrop Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 woody's has excellent beef jerky.I think it would be cheaper to fly texasboy to Houston, put him up in a motel, feed him and rent him a car than it would be to shop at Woody 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayouCityGirl Posted August 6, 2005 Author Share Posted August 6, 2005 So whos organizing the event?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I was wondering that but I am bad at organizing. I mean I only had the idea. LOL!

gazpacho70 Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 This would be fun if we could get this thing together, I work downtown so I get to see it all the time. We could walk around and look at the buildings and stop along the way and eat while we are out looking around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazpacho70 Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 So true, let's get this together and get our group thing started. Name a time and place and i'm there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayouCityGirl Posted August 7, 2005 Author Share Posted August 7, 2005 What's to organize? Pick a place, a time and show up.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>that is the organization is picking a place. I just don't understand why it has to be between Montrose OR Downtown when so many of us live in diff. parts of Houston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I think downtown would be appropriate considering the focus of this forum is so often on urban redevelopment. A perfect place would be Treebeards if they stayed open late enough, but they don't. We'd need someplace where a medium sized group could just show up and blend in without disrupting the place.I think the whole bunch should then take a ride on the light rail together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazpacho70 Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Great Idea! Let's set this plan into motion, everyone who wants to do this ASAP should post and say when we should grt together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YakuzaIce Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Does anyone have an idea of a date? What is best for everyone, Weekend or weekday? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazpacho70 Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Weekday if all possible, but anytime would be ok with a little advance notice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazpacho70 Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Weeknight that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssullivan Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Fridays (sometimes Thursday evenings after about 7:30) through Sundays are best for me, but I have an odd schedule most weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

editor Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I propose Friday, August 26th to give everyone plenty of notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groovehouse Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 it'd be neat if we could combine a meetup with a walking tour of downtown and possibly a pub crawl!I'm down for Friday, Aug 26th for a meetup.If we do a walking tour, Saturday would be nicer.

Heights2Bastrop Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I'm guessing a Friday night at The Gold Cup is completely out of the question, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedScare Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I have a client that works there. Maybe I could get us discounts for...umm....drinks. Yeah, that's it, drinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssullivan Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Friday August 26 is perfect for me. I'm actually in Houston with my downtown client that week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbigtex56 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 OK, with 20 votes in: 10 for Downtown 6 for Midtown 4 for Montrose 12 for weeknight 8 for weekend So far, it looks like downtown on a weeknight would be the best compromise. Jefe bar, anyone? Or we could all bring 40 oz.-ers and meet under the Main St. bridge... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heights2Bastrop Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Or we could all bring 40 oz.-ers and meet under the Main St. bridge...Food City has a sale on Thunderbird this week. Time to stock up now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayouCityGirl Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 Due to my work schedule. I can't make it. I'm sorry guys It is totally out of question for me to do anything on a weeknight, especially going out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevfiv Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 there's also this option - and that way, if you get frightened, you can just blend in with the crowd! hahahttp://ghpa.org/tours/then those who want to can have food/drinks afterward...

dbigtex56 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 How do y'all feel about La Carafe? Any other suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevfiv Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 la carafe is cool - but sometimes a little crowded...i am still holding up for sunday's tour - i should be there with a couple friends (and probably having lunch at market square beforehand). the tour starts at 2pm this sunday - and there is also the "Window Shopping on Main Street" exhibit as well....
