I am going to be coming to Houston next weekend. We have tried a couple of times to get a meet in Houston together, to no avail.

Would any of y'all be interested?
What area of town is good for everyone?

I am usually in the Jersey Village or Kingwood area when I am in town. So, North would be good for me, but I am willing to drive some.

Let me know what you guys think.

That sounds like a blast to me!

We have some excellent places to meet, eat, and hang out.

When we have meets with my other car clubs, we usually get a motel suite or two for a staging area. There are many good choices here that are CHEAP!

We have some awesome resuraunts, too!

We have a Salt Grass Steak House, Texas Land and Cattle Co., and if you are really into great sushi, there is an awesome place on 59 N. that has all-day sushi happy hour! (Mmm....unagi )

It is always fun to stop by the Ferrari Dealership and see what kind of neat stuff they have going on.
Right now I'm looking at an F355, but I can't find one I like with manual transmission!

I know of a few Performance Shops that will let us organize in their parking lot (they know it is good for business ) and there are many micro-breweries, laser tag arcades, Dave and Busters, or fun pistol ranges for anyone into that.
(anyone wanna shoot a fully automatic Hk? )

We have fun roads, great food, and plenty of adult entertainment (such as Dave and Busters...not hookers! )

As far as resturants, we have everything from Magic Island (way awesome) to resturants with rotating rooftop dining rooms.

This should be fun.

Dave and Busters sounds good... on Richmond right?

I am interested...

I would be up for a Houston meet but can you get enough people together in a week? Anyone else interested?

Derek,

Just a reminder, don't call for a meet in Houston on February 15. I already talked Apexi350z and Moroccan_Mole to come to Austin to join the CZOT Hill Country drive. See Rodel's thread here =>

Oh, BTW, do you plan to be out of town again that weekend?

Track

That is the way we always do it in my other car clubs.

Well, for good meets anyway.

I get the feeling that this club is an older group that has had most of the "party" sucked out of them.

For me to give up a night and day of fun and games, I'd have to have some equal fun and games to compensate.

But I'm a little "hyper."

Apexi350Z,

I have received notification that my lugnuts are out for delivery right now. So, if they do deliver them without signature they will be at the house when I get there. If they are there and the big if on that I will go directly to the tire shop and have them put on. The next morning I will take pictures and post them ASAP. Believe me I want them on SOOOOOOO bad. If they look half as good in the garage as they do in the car it will be GREATTTT!

articfury

So, do we want to meet at Dave and Busters? Or do we want to meet somewhere else and eat, then drive to DandB?

Al,

I haven't forgotten about the Feb 15th event. I may be out of town for Valentine's, but nothing certain yet.

eat somewhere else first

d&b is fun but thier food sux.

Track

As I hinted, Ruth's Chris Steak House is up the street.

Moroccan_Mole

iTrader: (5)

are you paying?

Track

Ruth's is not that expensive!
You bought a Z didn't ya?

The Houston Brewery is up the street also, and it has both cheaper food and some good stuff too.

They also brew their own beers.

ZThang

I just got my z the other day...i'd be interested

articfury

They both sound good to me. But, we will probably have more people willing to go to Houston Brewery.

Do we want to do some standing around checking out people's cars/mods before eating? Or do we want to go straight inside?

So, what time Saturday do we want to meet? 4pm or earlier/later?

JD

4pm is kind of early to eat...

are we going for lunch or dinner?

Ruth is kind of expensive I think... maybe somewhere more affordable.

what about Fuddrucker? we should decide soon, Saturday is coming soon

Track

Please no Fuddruckers/McDonalds/Burger King/Bennigans/Hot Biscuit type places!

At least lets go to a place worth a 30 minute drive. Ruth's is not that expensive!
Texas Land and Cattle Company is cheaper and has awesome steaks and the best crispy fries in town! (they are supernatural)

The Houston Brewery is okay.
It's kind of a Mitsubishi type place, but we would fit in.

Two Rows in Rice Village (on Morningside) really kicks ***!
It is cheap, has AWESOME food of every type, and they are a micro-brewery that even brews their own non-alc. root beer!

It's hard to top that.

The Ferrari dealership is between Two Rows and Dave and Busters, too.

articfury

I mentioned 4pm if we wanted to hangout and check out the cars for a while. That would give us 2 hours worth of sunlight. If we don't want to do that then we can make it later.

Two Rows sounds good. What's the parking like? Would we be able to have a spot for 5-10 cars?

If we wanted to stop by the Ferrari dealership, would we need to do that earlier?

Isn't there a pretty nice kart track near the Ferrari dealership?

Or would anyone be interested in hitting the gun range before hand? I know I wouldn't mind trying out Track's toy, even if it is like $5 for 30secs of fun. (PS I know it's not a toy, but it sure is fun ) I could probably convince my good friend to bring out his AR-15, which is quite enjoyable in its own right.
