Houstonian WP-members looking to meet up someplace....

Post Reply New Topic

There is someone in the neighborhood...we don't know who....who likes to call the fire marshall on us whenever they feel the whim..and whenever we have any sort of gathering...

And they called in our fire pit fire....

We have had several similar gatherings where the fire dept was not called, and police cars would routinely drive by and say nothing...
I would not mind letting the police and fire-folk help..but the atmosphere at that time was not condusive...what with all the flashing lights and a crew including several somewhat drunk and agitated Aspie-types...like our pal Kevin (of the tiny guitar)...who would not stop yelling at them....
I feel pretty intimidated by people in uniform most of the time...especially when they are all puffed up...and me not posessing of the greatest communication skills to begin with...We really need to figure out how to work with them better, because they are an entity that is not gonna leave us alone the way they did at our last location...

We will be having our firepit again tonight if anyone is interested..I am not sure whether we plan on changing our configuration, seeing as what we were doing was not against city code...We need to make it understood that there should not be any acting out if they do show up again.

Anywhoo...come on out folks...7-ish...

If we did meet up at Waldo's, I would not want to do it on a thursday/open mic occasion..I am usually very on-edge then...Some saturday...perhaps...

this is happening at the Orange Show on Saturday...it sounds interesting...you had mentioned a possible Orange Show meetup..

YAAAAAY P A N C H O C L A U S ! ! ! ! ! ! WOO HOOO


HEH HEH HEH HEH

Pancho is something else. I got to see him when he first started doing
the christmas thing, I'm hoping it's the same guy because he's a blast
and if you like comedy, you will love this guy!

Jeffrey

Awesome idea, Olivia I'd like to check out Pancho Claus! I'm definitely down for that. Also, toys for kids yay!

Yes, Toys definately!

We are preparing for the fire pit thingy right now..I think the plan is to use charcoal and not make the fire so darn big and flamy and see if that helps...

Hope peeps show...

Here is another thing happening on the 13th...The museum of the weird is really interesting. I have only been there once, but I am sorry to see it go...

Hey Olivia, how did the firepit assembly go this time? No complications? Hopefully, the nuisance neighbor minded his own business

I think things went really well.
The charcoal pit was very hot, but I missed the flames. however, grilling was easier without lapping flames.
I donated a fire poker, choclate cookies and bread rolls. Kevin11 didnt show when I was there.
I hpe he comes back, he was a lot of fun with his silly songs.
Flakey did a really good rendition of that robert earl king Christmas classic, im sure you know the one, where the cours is going to stors to get stuff like tampons and a can of fake snow. Redneck christmas?:rendeer:

These guys at SHFL try hard to put on a good cook out and spend no small amout of $$ getting food and now charcoal, so I would encourage everyone show up and contribute what you can to the cause, at least a few dollars for feeding your mugs.

Thanks, SHFL

Yeah...and the members of my bicycle gang showed up...."Montrose Bike Gang"
(those were all the people who showed up at once on bikes)...

We spend about $60 or so per cookout...donations wouldn't hurt, but they are not mandatory.

location: Katy Tx - laser tag center off of Grandparkway

time/date: 2- ? this Saturday. contact for more details.




as always you are invited to the airport ..

Be aware our hanger is one the most active (sits on taxiway)





Look under Commertive Air Force ( West Houston Squadron)

we have a monthly meeting Sunday @ 2:00 pm. and dinner

afterwards valueman

Hey, ya'll. I'll go ahead and suggest a noon meetup for next Sunday on the 21st. I'm gonna go with Olivia's suggestion and have it at a coffeehouse in the Heights called Waldo's.

Their physical address is: 1030 Heights Blvd, Houston, TX 77008

I know this is only a weeks notice and also so close to X-mas, so I'll understand if not many of us show up.

Also, for this meetup, how about we each bring one or two questions that we would like to ask each other about Asperger's. It's something we're all dealing with on some level, so this could be our "ice-breaker" discussion.

For those who like to see things visually, here are a few pics of the coffeehouse:





It's a cozy place with a back room that has a large table that hopefully we'll be able to claim heh

Oh, I definitely want to come! Me and Jack can bring our 3-week-old son Finnegan and you guys can look at him and guess if he's going to have AS!


That looks like a nice place. I hope we get the back room too.

Oh sweet!! !

So who else is coming?

I'm coming!

i dunno if anyone would want to but maybe after Waldo's we could hang out at my place for a little bit? the Heights aren't too far from Montrose....just throwing it out there..

Olivia-i was wondering if there's going to be another 'firepit shindig' that Sunday? i wanna gooo
