Works for me. When and where.

Suggestions

Gingerman in the Village near West U. Good beer place
Last Concert Cafe near downtown. Good mexican food and live music (music starts late though)

Place to go photograph

Downtown skyline
Wall of Water near Williams Tower (if the water is running)

Or we can just hang out

We could meet downtown for dinner and photos. That might work well for all of us. :)
We could meet at the hard rock cafe if you guys are up for it.

Umm, I just moved to the area, but I might be interested in meeting up. I live/work out here in the southwest 'burbs of Houston.

I even work for a company that does work for drilling companies! (So I'm learning all about the oil biz).

If it's mainly a boys' night out, just keep me in mind for the next Houston GTG, lol.

I'm so jealous if yall go to The Gingerman, that's my favorite bar! And Herman Brown park is close plus the zoo and museums. That was going to be my suggested plan. Donna, SW burbs huh? Well I'm in Sugar Land for one more month if you ever want to have a girls night!

Yah, Dallas is really boring...you'd hate coming here...(rolls eyes) :P So, if we can ever get anyone 'round here to do a GTG...I'm guessing you'll bag us, huh! :P

Fine...........hope you all have fun and take lots of great pics!!!

Any time after 7pm should work for me. If I'm picking up Dave it will have to be a little later to give me time to go get him.
