**Houston**

I have not seen a Houston gathering in a long time. I don't have time to plan a weekend or a big to-do, but would love to meet some FTers. Old San Fransicso Steakhouse (in the IDine book) is available with a private room for lunch (12-2ish ?) on July 13th. If we get 20 people we can have an all inclusive for 25.00 per person.......Potatoe, Salad, Choice of beef, chicken or veggie plate, and tea/coffee, dessert and TIP INCLUDED. Anyone interested?

If not here, anyone want to plan an Astros game or other event?

I travel to Houston all the time and would have normally been able to schedule this around a visit to my ladyfriend who lives there.

But unfortunately, this is one of those weekends that is locked in stone for me every year.

Maybe another time we can join you?

I'll volunteer to use my credit card and you can pay me back

Actually, fscher, I'll be in Hawaii that week...finally cashing in some DL miles as well as HH points at the Waikoloa! But I'll check back for further updates.

ARRRRRGH! This event WOULD fall when I'm doing my RTW. I'll be thinking of y'all from CPT.

I'll be in Houston July 1 - but it seems like all my trips the spring/summer have been designed to miss baseball games. Otherwise I'd say let's catch the Astros.

It looks like I picked a very bad date and may have to reschedule, but the fax of the official menu came and I thought I would post:

Famous Swiss Cheese Block
Sourdough Breads
Steak House Sald with House Dressing

Choice of:
Orange Roughy Provencal
Grilled Chicken
10 Oz. Ribeye Steak
Veggie Platter

All served with:
Twice Baked Potato
Green Bean Almondine

Black Forest Cake
Tea and Coffee

Sounds good to me!
All for 25.00 including tax and tip.

Let me know when you do schedule.

Houston is an easy flight (or even DRIVE) for me and I've got an unused ticket to Hobby on DL that I could book for just a change fee....

It would be strange to attend an FT gathering without having to travel. I can't do the 13th but if another date is selected count me in.

I have called it off for this date.
Not enough interest. I will try again in the fall if nobody else plans a Houston event before then.

My first event went belly up before it started.

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.
