Don't get discouraged... it is hard to get FT folks together in their hometowns during the summer when everyone has the travel itch.
Give the calendar a glance in the late summer and perhaps post something for mid-fall when the temperatures cool down and you might even get some non-Texans who are willing to brave the Indian summer.
