It'll be a nice time to be here. The weather is cooling down. Where will you be staying?"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf -
Tip 1: Don't come before October 15th and make sure you leave by about the beginning of May.Comment

That's a good spot. Being close to the Galleria is best. You'll find some awesome restaurants and shopping in that area.Originally posted by SipiTau View Post"Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

St Regis, baby! I lived in that hotel for around 6 months, or so it seemed.Originally posted by SipiTau View Post
Goode Company BBQ, Pappasitos, Pappas Steak, Pappadeaux, Cafe Annie, Marks on Westheimer, etc. Houston is a great place for food.
There used to be this place called rainbow lodge that served all sorts of funky game...ostrich, elk, caribou, etc....very interesting to try it all.
I have a soft spot for H-town.
Also, the hotels conveniently have Arabic porn if you happen to be in the oil industry and only pretend to be a devout Muslim.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

Any locals care to share how long it will take to drive from G. Bush to Hobby at around midday on a Monday? I have a depo set near G.Bush, but Southwest doesn't fly there. The flight is a big enough rewards boon that I think it may be worth flying into Hobby and driving across town.Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss
There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach FinstockComment

Midday like around noon? Probably 40 minutes but possibly less if you don't hit any traffic.
Don't forget to stop downtown and have lunch with me.

Definitely a possibility. Depo is at 8 am and will probably go for 2-3 hours. Flight would leave out of Hobby at 2.
