November SE Side Meetup

6 attended (est.) – 4.00 4.003

OK, we're going to try having a Southeast side meetup on a Saturday again, seeing as our last SE side Meetup that we had on a Sunday didn't have the greatest turnout. Still the same place, just a different night.

So to all you guys who want to have one last chance at hanging out before the start of the busy holiday season, (especially you residents of Galveston, Kemah, Seabrook, Alvin, Pasadena...etc...) this is it.

Hope a lot of you guys can make it for our last meetup n the SE side for this year.

November Anime Meetup

23 attended (est.) – 4.50 4.505

More of the same guys. I know the parking is not the greatest at this location, but its still better than at some places like the Montrose area or places with a lot of construction. Plus at least now the weather has finally cooled down enough that it should be pretty pleasant around there.

So come on out and meet some old friends and make some new ones. And if you visited once in the past few months and haven't had a chance to come by in a while, now is a good a time as any. Right after our last area con and right before the holidays start and everything gets hectic.

Hope to see a lot of you peeps there.

November Northside Meetup

10 attended (est.) – 4.50 4.505

OK guys, we are going to shoot for our first meetup on the Northside in a long time. And just like I mentioned on the message boards this one will be at the Panda East Chinese restaurant near 59 and Aldine Mail route. The guy who runs this place is a good friend to me and the anime community. And its an all You Can Eat Buffet restaurant. So for one low price we get to stuff our faces and talk all the anime we want. Sounds like a cool way to spend an evening. Especially all you peeps who live way North of Houston. This is your chance to help get something started up on that side of town. Depending on how good a turnout we get we may do one like this more often. So come by and represent your side of town.

Hope to see as many of you peeps there as can make it.

2nd meetup of October

17 attended (est.) – 4.50 4.503

OK the weather reports all seem to point to this Wednesday to be hot and muggy again with still a slight chance of rain, so screw it! I'm changing the venue and making it Freebirds around the block instead. Same general area, just picking a place where we hopefully can all fit inside.

Oh and of course there's an ice cream shop next door. Both that and the Freebirds close a bit earlier, but oh well.

Hope to still see you guys there.

Clap Like You Mean It Meetup (aka October Meetup)

34 attended (est.) – 5.00 5.005

Yeah I hear this is making a comeback among the cool kids these days. So that's what we'll be doing at this meetup. Good times, good times!!

LOL! Who am I kidding? That's the best I could come up with right now for a goofy name for this month's meetup. I know, I know! But hey, I'm getting old.

Anyways, more of the same that we do every month at these meets, since the formula appears to be working so well. More talk of our fav manga and anime. And we're back at the patio outside the Cafe Express near the Galleria. By this time of year the weather shouldn't be a problem. And yeah I know the parking can be a bit of a pain. But I still think this is a primo spot for us to take over. And since my B-day is this month I'm pulling rank and making it this spot anyway. *slams fist on table*

Ah power!!! Gotta love it!! LOL
Hope to see you peeps there.

2nd Puppy Roast of the year

18 attended (est.) – 4.50 4.505

OK guys, since we have so,e food left and have come into some more KIR777 rations, we're going to have another BBQ/cookout in Herman Park. Same general area (I hope), so just look around all the picnic tables in the area of the park between the Miller Outdoor Theater and the parking lot near the zoo.

And we're going to start a little earlier to avoid so many mosquitoes and just so we won't have to stay out so late since most of us will have to work the next day. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and this time we can do some of the stuff we didn't have time for last. Maybe sled races down the hill, or the egg relay, or hell if we get enough people, maybe even play a game of Kibasen!! (oh boy). Anyways, we'll see.

As last time, when you RSVP, please mention if you're gonna bring something & what it is. Hope to see a lot of you there. Especially those who couldn't make it last time.

September SE Side Meetup

6 attended (est.) – 4.00 4.002

We're back on the South East Side of town for more fun and randomness and whatnot. Maybe we might even have a beach outing earlier in the day and then do this meetup on the way back (kill 2 birds with one stone?).

Anyways, same place as usual and maybe afterwards might hit the Borders Books across the street to check out their manga section before they close. Hope to see a lot of you peeps there. Especially all you SE siders. Think about it...it's a Sunday.....what else ya gonna do?

End of Summer BBQ/Puppy Roast

20 attended (est.) – 5.00 5.0010

OK, sorry peeps, but the weather forecast is looking not too great for this weekend, so I'm moving this event to next Saturday in the hopes that things might clear up by then. In a way this kind of works out better because the Houston Grand Taiko drumming festival is the exact same weekend. So the two events kind of go together.

So I'm changing it to a BBQ/Puppy Roast/Taiko Drumming concert. I also moved the time up an hour to give us more time to play/cook or just hang out beforehand. Then around 7:30 we'll hopefully have finished cooking the food and we can take it up on the hill and eat while watching the drumming exhibition. I've been almost every year the past few years and have always enjoyed it.

So for those of you who already cleared your schedules for this Saturday (the 12th), Clarisse mentioned the idea of possibly doing karaoke that night, I still haven't heard back from her on whether she was able to set anything up at the last minute. Keep your eyes on this site for any last minute plans all you peeps who still want to get 2gether that night.

Sorry about this guys. Texas weather happens y'know.

yo, i found this on the houston film snobs movie meetup group. so muchas gracias to them.

http://www.meetup.com/HoustonFilmSnobs/messages/7512733/

i know its last minute but i know if some of you peeps got the time you'd probably want to take the oppurtunity and go check this out which i am most def gonna do.

i'ma holla at the awesome people meetup group and the comic meetup group too and try and make this a co-meetup thing since they too are into all things zombie.

i made the time at 6:30 cause the movie starts at 7:30 but its always a good idea to get there early.

September Meetup/Last Meetup of Summer

27 attended (est.) – 5.00 5.005

We're back at the ol' Tea House for more cheap grub, good Bubble Teas, talking of this stuff we call anime, some game playing maybe, and all around general randomness that we always invariably fall into.

Also since this will be the meetup before Labor Day weekend this will be a good chance for any peeps going to Animefest in Dallas to take care of any last minute plans before leaving the next day (carpooling, room arrangements....etc...). And if I'm not mistaken, this place is open pretty late, so anybody who has to work late that night is still encouraged to come. I'm pretty sure I'll have the following day off work, so I shouldn't have trouble staying late to meet any stragglers who won't be able to come before 10 or 11. Hope to see a lot of you peeps there.
