Hou/Galvers - end/begining of hurricane season get-togethers

#1 Postby Houstonia » Tue May 03, 2005 2:49 pm

Hou/Galvers,

I kind of stopped "organizing" the season get-togethers because, well it just didn't seem like anyone was interested in meeting. Do we all still feel that way? Since it's a hurricane season get-together, I like to meet in Galveston, but obviously I'm open to opinions.

It seemed as if there were the following concerns:
- day of the week (saturdays are busy, but sundays are family)
- location (houston is too far/galveston is too far)
- shyness (I don't want to come out of my hole)
- previous commitments (just came down to Galveston LAST week to meet up with people!!)

I won't feel bad - I just want to know what the interest level is.

I'm always interested in a get together for this area. It just seems like we can never get anyone there.

I would be interested if we had a get together around my home town like the Houma-Thibodaux area. It is over a 7 hour drive just for me to get to the Texas state line.

Maybe the NOLA metro area people should have a get-together of their own - they would put the rest of us to shame, no doubt!! :D

Well, it looks like I have five votes so far on the Hou/Galv get-together. Somehow I can't believe that there are only FIVE people in the Houston Galveston area who monitor this board!!

Could it be that Hou/Galvers are just the not-so-sociable kind of storm people?!?

Chances are that an end-of-season (or close to the end) bash would work better for me than one now or mid-season. School, continuing ed classes for work, family reunions (not even my family, but I'm invited :) ), and other stuff already in the mix for the next couple of months. Also, the First Annual Galveston Jean Laffite festival is in November (need to check again on the date). But I really make it to this year's Hou/Galver S2K get-together! :)
