can we get something started in the Texas chapter?
first off Ivan and all you boys in the NW chapter stay out of this 
. We need to get this chapter rooling. I always check in here first thing when I come to FTE, and there is only 1 maybe 2 new post. I am always seeing something out of the NW chapter. I would like to see this chapter get kicking like that. Let get it started.

I'd be interested if there was anything happening within about 50mi of Houston As long as it wasn't in Houston. I hate going downtown. Something like a swap meet, flea market, some sort of outdoor thing.

JD Banks and I got together at the Hooters on 1960 and 45 yesterday. There was also a hotrod show there. Some really nice cars showed up. Anyone have some Ideas as to what we can do?

Chris, his wife and myself enjoyed some wings and a nice time at Hooters on Saturday. If we want to get stuff happening then more people need to make it out to get togethers.
In line with that. Coming up in Houston we have the Autorama in the end of November. Might be a good event to plan a get together around. We could all go out to eat before or after. Maybe carpool or caravan together to the Autorama.

Or if anyone else has an idea, please feel free to chime in.

man I wish I could go to that, but unfortanitly I will still be in Iraq till sometime in DEC. Anyone have anything planed after the first of the year? Buy the way this is going oposite of what I was talking about. I was just saying as far as post. You know people just posting on here with just good conversation type stuff so we could get to know each other. at least somewhat. Anyways I do like the idea of some G2G though. Let me know if there are any after the 1st of the year. Thank you.

Well it's easier to post just chit-chat type stuff when you've met people and know them in person. That's the idea behind the get-togethers.
Or how bout some philosophy...."Be the change in the world you'd like to see." Meaning, if you want to see more conversation type stuff, don't tell people to do it or that you want to see it, make it happen. Start a thread or reply to someone else's. We got the "Horns" thread going on. A lot of people counting their chickens before they're hatched, go tell them that and watch the conversation start flowing (LOL).

good idea JD. I have been trying to get some stuff like that started with "how bout them horn". I will try to start some more topics, but your right its hard to do that stuff without knowing the people in person. So do we have any G2G planed for after first of the year?

Scotty, were you thinking of coming down to Houston sometime after the first of the year? If yes, I'll set something up even if it's a belated "Welcome Home and Thank You Scotty" get-together. I suspect we could get a few folks , none of whom I actually know personally, to stop by.

Scotty,
I'm on the Southeast of Houston, just outside of Beltway 8 and just north of Friendswood, TX and just west of I-45. Couple of hours from Austin so it would be tough for me to set something up there but I would go if someone else can pull it together in Austin. If you want to make a day run to Houston, my offer is still open.
