Kilt night/afternoon in Houston

**Livingston** · 7th March 06, 11:55 AM

I'll be arriving in Houston about 1 or so on Sunday 3/19 for a work meeting. Would be interested in meeting up with anyone that has some time, don't have to be anywhere till 8 am on Monday. I'll be at Marriott Waterways. Let me know if you want to get together and I'll make sure to bring the kilt.

Sorry I'm going to just miss you. I'm driving down with a couple other pipers and a couple of drummers to do a little bar hopping on the 17th. Play some tunes, drink some beer, move on. Should be fun.

Hey buddy!

Happy to hear you are coming to Houston! (Although that hotel is in The Woodlands) I'd be happy to have a beer with you! I've got St. Pat's on Friday

and the Parade and after-party on Saturday

, so I'll be ready for anything by Sunday!

:mrgreen:

Not sure where that is in relation to Clodine, but, any suggestions on where to get together? Is there anyone else in the Houston area that could join us? Oh, and most important, do bring your DW. Enjoyed talking with both of you up here in Denver.

Clodine is in Ft.Bend County, just West of Houston proper. Don't worry about how far things are, we have to drive miles to get anywhere!
If you have transport, and can find your way, we could meet up Sunday afternoon down in town, in the Rice Village area,http://www.ricevillageonline.com/ this is cluster of shops and pubs off Kirby Drive, south of the S.W. Freeway (US59) My favorite pubs in that area are Brian O'Neills, http://www.brianoneills.com/ and The Gingerman, both on Morningside Dr. in the village. O'Neills is simular to the Celtic Tavern,(only with Guinness) and has a good menu if you're hungry.
As far as other kilted folks, I'm afraid I don't know that many down here, but I'll see who I can round up.

I'll be relying on public transportation...got to keep our expenses low

**Zardoz** · 10th March 06, 06:26 AM

We don't really have much of that, other than buses. To get anywhere from up in the Woodlands you would need to cab it or take a bus.

Tell you what, let me know when you're gonna be free on Sunday afternoon, and we'll pick you up, I can't get on the forum at work, so as it gets closer send me an E-Mail and we'll sort it out.

**Livingston** · 10th March 06, 08:40 AM

Of course with the warm weather you have, I could always walk ;)

I'll shoot you an email about Wed with more detail and the cell number

Livingston,

Hope you got back home OK, and had a good trip! Mrs.Z and I sure enjoyed having lunch and beer(s) with you, and all the "sightseeing" :rolleyes: we did.

Cheers! Mark

Mark,

Made it back fine but worn out. 10 hr work days last week, dinner meetings till all hours, flight landed about 4 and I was home, change suitcases and out the door to Estes Park by 5. Had to get back to the office for some sleep this week. It was good to see you and the Mrs again. Have to find a way to get my DW down there for a visit.
