Hey Houston Crew!!! - I'm visiting your town... :)

Hey All,

I will be in Houston on business this week, and expect that I'll have some "unstructured time" at least one or two nights (Tues, Wed, Thu?)...

It would be awesome to put some faces to MBWorld screen names, and I'd love the chance to check out your rides in person. . If any of you would be interested in hanging out just post up here or send me a PM. I can give you my contact info, etc.

I'll have a rental of some kind (probably a kick-*** Toyota Yaris ) so I'll be able to get around town if there's someplace specific you want to go.

I know for sure I owe Shardul a beer (or two!) for his help over the past few years...there are probably few beers with Jerry's name on them as well if he's interested in that kind of thing.

Not sure how far out of the way that is from you guys, but like I said, I'm willing to use my GPS to figure out the city and try to find you guys.

Not directly. My employer has a team here for the "Houston customer" and "Austin customer" (wink wink) but a larger group is here from around the country for technology training.

That would be awesome. It would be great to get a ride instead of struggling on my own to find my way....

Sorry guys. I got hit with sore throat and fever overnight. Slept most of the day and on the way to Dr. So won't make it. Was looking forward to this one and apologize for no car pool.
