Hey y'all, I have noticed that we have lots of members in the Houston area -- plus we all have made friends across the "board." LOL Here's a chance to share our viewpoints face to face and meet some of our favorite people in person. When: May 16th, 2009 Time: 3:00 p.m. Where: Pappasito's (in my humble opinion one of the best Tex/Mex places here and the Rita's and Sangria are oh so YUMMY) but I digress 10409 I-10 W. at Sam Houston Tollway, Houston, TX 77024 (713) 468-1913 · FAX (713) 468-4327 NOT limited to Houston area reviewers . . . if you can get here and would love to visit our fair city we would love to see you. And just think you get at least 2 viewpointers for the price of one -- Bryan and I both. BYOD -- bring your own dollars this is an unofficial function and so expenses are on our own. :-D So I can give a count please message here if you plan on coming or leave me a message on my profile page. Look forward to meeting face to face!

This sounds like fun!!    I don't drive too far from home, but gonna google the address and see if I am brave enough to attempt it.  Will let you know.   One month away should give us time to arrange our schedules.   Thanks for the invite.

Hey Lisa, I'm going to have to work on the hubster on this one!  The remodelling of the old house hasn't begun so I'm not going to make any promises.  Got to get it sold!  Maybe I can talk him into a weekend getaway???  I'll let you know for sure as time gets closer :)

We must be on similar wave lengths as I was thinking a similar thing recently.  Sorry to tell you though that Houston is not in my travel plans (or budget) right now.  With the Carey's at the helm I'm sure it will be a bash.

What a great idea, Lisa!  Although I have other travel plans for that date, my thoughts will be with you all!

Oh would have loved to see you F2F Anna! That would be a travel weekend for you. Cajun -- if you have problems finding it it's actually quite simple ... I 10 east and it's near the Sam houston/Gessner Rd Exit. No downtown travel required.

That would be a blast!  Hey, if I ever win the lottery, I'll fly anyone that wants to go to somewhere fun so we can all meet!  ;-)  Kind of like a virtual retreat come to life!!!

How wonderful! I told the hubby it would be great if there could be some kind of Viewpoints convention or get together. Oh I wish we could be there. We've been hoping for a nice driving trip but we may be tying it in with house/apartment hunting.  I hope another time.

Hey airfare isn't that BAD right now! First one who calls my house gets to save on hotels!  LOL  

you can also use my links for hotels.com discounts and expedia.com discounts!

I am saving up for my sister's wedding in vegas :-D  then I will head there! but I wouldn't turn down a ticket purchased by Jasyjen!  Hey jen, get some more AC content up it shouldn't take you long. I would be happy to come over to NC and hopefully even see Awlafon.

Well, this2shall pass gets a pass on this .... we met her and her wonderful family this week in San Diego!  Handsome hubby, so nice and smart, beautiful baby boy and so well behaved (the hubby was too LOL)  and she is amazing, bright and beautiful -- but of course we knew that from her writing!  

Thanks for a wonderful time at lunch, my older daughter is crazy for your little boy. And I don't even want dinner! 

But everyone else is expected to let me know sometime in May if they will be in Houston are Houstonians if they are happy to meet IRL.  :-D

Thank you for such sweet words about my family!  We also enjoyed meeting you and your family.  My husband was quiet, but I guess that is to be expected with the topic of conversation :)  My son had a blast with your daughter and could have played with her all day long!  Thanks for taking time out of your vacation to meet up!

Sorry to see your plans were cancelled. Life has a way of sometimes doing that.

Hmmm, New York in July is looking better & better! May be living upstate by then but who knows what we can all work out together. Maybe a picnic area in a state park on a certain date. Whovever can be there great - and even if not many show at least there will be a nice cookout in a nice park even if it's only 2 people!

OMG!!!  I would have been there in a heart beat.  I stopped getting emails from VP months ago and never figured out why.  I've been so busy and just stopped writing...today I finally set up another email account and hope to get emails there - keeping me up-to-date with VP.  I'm so sad to have missed this.  I hope this will be done again!

We plan to have another event in the Houston area at some point. Any suggestions for a good date and time?
