Y'all, We have settled on a place and time to meet for the get together in Houston the weekend of the FTDNA conference (which is coming up FAST)...here are the details: When: Friday, 3 November 2006 Time: 7:30 PM Where: The Cheesecake Factory at the Galleria Mall (North side of The Galleria, Street Level, next to the Westin Oaks Hotel) Here is a link to the menu: (http://www.thecheesecakefactory.com/menu.htm) There will be a free shuttle from the conference hotel for those attending, and according to Hughes, the Galleria is a good central location for locals. And, here are the directions to the restaurant: (http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?zoom=7&address=5015+Westheimer+Road&city=Houston&state=TX <http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?zoom=7&address=5015+Westheimer+Road&city=Houston&state=TX>) I certainly hope to see everyone there...I truly enjoy meeting participants every chance I can get...
