Attention Houston (and area) MAPpers

Spacepimp and I are organizing and "Unofficial", informal, social gathering for any and all Houston area MAPpers. If you live close enough to drive out for the day, this means you!
We are looking to have it at a teahouse in the Bellaire area (Chinatown). Scheduled date is March 4th (yes, 2006). We'll meet, have tea, talk. And, see if we can generate enough interst to hold an official MAP Meet, complete with training and seminars.
Intersted? PM me or spacepimp for more details and watch this thread!!

 

I'm there

 

Okay, that makes 3. Come on, I know we have more MAPpers in the area!!

 

4 - will be there too.

 

Dallas Fort Worth here, but if the time of meetup is later in the day so I don't miss class... then I may just try to make an appearance.

 

Any more takers? Time is getting short and I'd like to see more Houston/Texas MAPers there.

 

Maybe drop a line in KSW forum. There's a bunch of houstonians there they may not check this thread. Just a thought.

 

Count me in on a maybe.

 

Beaumont here. Our Shotokan dojo always goes to train with the Houston karateka organized by sensei Deddy on the first saturday of the month, so I'll be in town with a bunch of martial artists on that day. I think I'm the only MAPper, though.

What time are you planning to meet?

 

Locations

I have found three locations
Two in actual Chinatown one off Westheimer

Tapioca House:
It is fairly traditional in style. It gets crowded on weekends but I was told we could reserve the big table that would seat 6-8 people.
9104 Bellaire Blvd
Houston, TX 77036

Star Snow Ice:
It has more selection, but it gets busy on the weekends and we cannot reserve a table. Seems to attract a slightly younger crowd.
9188-O Bellaire Blvd.
Houston, TX 77036

Duno Baby QQ Cup:
Probably has the best selection, included a sandwich type of entree (crepe) for $5.00. It is not in Chinatown, not too much traffic yet, and they have an upstairs area we could use. All in all kind of small though.

I do not have their address I will post it later
It is located at the corner of Westheimer and Wilcrest next to Whole Foods Market.

My preference is for the Duno Baby, but I was hoping to get some other input.

 

Im a maybe too.

 

Duno Baby works for me. Don't like crowds and the wife doesn't want to join us, so I don't need it in Chinatown.

Anyone else have a choice? Let's have some input by this Friday, for I am off to Angola and want Spce to be able to make reservations and know how many and which place we want to go to.

 

Duno Baby

Apparently we are going to Duno Baby.

 

We're still on for meeting on the 4th, which is next Saturday. Anyone else interested? Now, we need to decide on a time. Lunch? Noonish, later? Any input by Monday please or I'll pick a time.

 

Just to reiterate, it's Duno Baby QQ CUp. Spacepimp says the QQ stands out when looking for it.

 

Reminder

Duno Baby QQ Cup, this Saturday at noon. Corner of Westheimer and Wilcrest, next to Whole Foods Market.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

I'll be the dashingly good looking bald guy.

 

Yeah, and I'll be the amazingly hot redheaded chick.


Oh, by the way, it's probably unnecessary given the above information - but a "MAP MEETING" sign on the table may be helpful...

See y'all on Saturday!

 

No Worries

Trust me if you miss us you will be in the wrong store, it is not big enough to miss anyone.

Pleasantly plump individual.

 

Oh, well this sucks, but I'm going to have to miss this if it goes down at noon. I'll be just finishing up with a client, and then I'll have to head on over to Capoeira class. It's kinda important that I be there, as I'll be teaching.

Please post in this thread if there have been any decisions for future meetups.

On the very off chance that you guys will be loitering until four or so (yeah, right), just let me know by pm or otherwise and I will make it.

Other than that, enjoy!

As to the first, I sure hope so. It is my hope to use these as a stepping stone to an Official Texas MAP meet.

As to the second, never know. If the wife doesn't start bugging (calling) me, I may hang around til then.
