Houston Fall GTG in the works, not just limited to Houstonians though

We're working on the Houston Fall GTG. Probable date for meet is November 12, 2005. We're trying to get more people to come to our GTGs, so we're planning this thing well in advance. So, to the DFW'ers, Austinites, San Antonio crew, Beaumont/Golden Triangle area, western Louisiana people, Texas Gulf Coast guys, you're all invited. Instead of the usual meet in a parking lot and talk for an hour, we're thinking about involving food and a short cruise. There's nothing like a line of MBs going down a parkway. Well, what do you say?

Ok, here's what we are looking at. We'll meet at a centralized Houston location such as Hermann Park or maybe a UH parking lot, and cruise down I-45 to Mario's Italian Restaurant on Seawall Blvd. near Stewart Beach in Galveston. Feedback?

I say we all meet at uptown park by the galleria area and have some food and talk at uptown sushi. Afterwards, we can go to belvedere and have some drinks!

With the current price of fuel, both diesel and gas, we are cancelling the cruise portion of the GTG. However, we will still meet at a local eatery and have a GTG. November 12th is the date, we're just setting a time and place. We will post a sign up thread when everything is finalized.
