This is the box so changing the topic. Thanks for setting up the brunch Sunday, it was a good way to finish things off for the weekend.

^ Thanks, Hartmann! It was a great chance to finally put some more faces to the names of Box regulars!

No thanks needed, I was happy to do it! Just wish I would have had more time to talk to everyone!

Agree! It was a fun time and a bit more quiet place to socialize. Thanks, Hartmann!

+2

It was very cool to meet so many of you and, as sdm1130 said, put faces with names (both FT names and real names!).

Did the Whataburger excursion ever happen?

It did, though we weren't able to take sdm1130 and his +1 (next time y'all are in TX though!).

Apparently there were Harris County Deputies cooking at the Whataburger that they went to near Gunspoint.

Not when I was in there but that was early and before people were drinking. I was afraid to touch anything.

I was talking to my neighbor this morning who is an ex UA FA and she said "That's nothing compared to what we did to kill time and entertain ourselves."

In the interest of full disclosure, we stayed as far away from Gunspoint as was possible while staying near IAH. :) It was the Whataburger on 59 North just south of 1960. And they were Harris County Constables, and they were pretty cool. I'm glad everyone enjoyed the side trip. ^

Also, thanks to Hartmann for setting up the brunch. I had a blast this weekend and I'm working hard on not letting the fallout take that experience down. :rolleyes:

Looks like you guys just missed out on the last Whataburger promo... 50% off your next Cardiologist appointment ended on January 31. :D

Ahh, thanks for clearing that up. I thought you guys went to the one right there by the mall (yikes).

Thanks for setting up the brunch Hartmann. I'll get that photo up in a few minutes.

Seeing the armed constables flipping burgers in Whataburger was a strange sight to see. They like the extra money and you can tell the staff appreciates their presence.

I do not especially enjoy a side of getting shanked with my burger. ;)
