I have been lurking in the other two threads for a get together in Houston, and it seems there is a decent amount of interest. Since I have not found any thread setting a date I figured I would get the ball rolling for one.

Date: June 27th Saturday
Time: 5pm
Place: Hooters @ US290 (see link below)

I talked with the manager and he is going to allow us to meet there. He mentioned that he would block off parking spots. In case you are allergic to Hooters, there is a Joe's Crab Shack, Denny's, and TGIF nearby. Plus a Tinsel Town Theater to catch a movie before or after.

Pass the word. Looking forward to seeing all the G8's, and meeting the owner too ;)

===================

>>>>>> I need a head count so they can setup the parking space and table inside. <<<<<<

So far I have the following as a yes.

Sounds good to me. I don't care wherever it is. We have quite a few here in Clear Lake. If you guys want to meet up and cruise up there together we could do that as well.

James,

Don't tell anyone I got a G8 ok.

I don't know if anyone else knows or not, but I want it to be a surprise (for mod day tomorrow). Of course I cant compete with your G8 since it's the BEST G8! :)

Still in... if anyone wants to cruise up together from Clear Lake let me know. Depending on my Sunday morning the day after I may just do the Hooters meet and head home. Not sure yet.

Come on guys. I know there were several of you that indicated you would be "in" if we had a meet.

I guess this Saturday is a busy one for everyone.

Let me know if you are interested so I can get a decent count for parking space.

First pitcher is on me :)

PM me if you want my cell, in case you think you might show up later. We should be there till 9-ish, I would think. Just because it starts at 5pm does not mean you have to roll in by then or never ;)

Here are a few pics that were taken. It was nice meeting all of you. Hats off to p71 for making it out from Abilene. Hope to see everyone next month.

We had 7 show up, well actually 8 if we include the stryker gxp that rolled in and out without stopping ;)

Houston is a bit of a drive from Abilene, but thanks the invite p71. Plus it was my Wife's Bday on the 27th.

Maybe a DFW meet will go down again soon.

It requires a login, and I don't feel like providing a credit card # just to look at pics.

At home with IE8 and even tried work computer with Safari. Am I the only one?
