Kamala, thanks for you welcome! I would be happy to help you and work with SassyRabbit and EbonyMermaid to put together Houston-area events. I do plan to be at the Athens event in July.Hi Mitch...WELCOME to our little wild and fun place for singles to hang out and have a good time! It looks like I might need to recruit you, SassyRabbit and Ebony Mermaid to help me do our first Houston Happy Hour! Of course you'll all want to join us at Athens which is only a few hours drive from you all July 23-25 or Sept 24-26 both of which will be LOADS of fun! (Trip details will be posted today!)
Let me know if you'd be interested in helping us 'corral' all of our Houston types for some Happy Hours and to join us at our official regional event...the last Athens event drew divers from Houston and Dallas of course...as well as New Mexico, Lubbock, TX; Arkansas, and Oklahoma!Â
Note: This thead broken off from Mitch's intro thread to allow for a planning thread.
Hey SR, Mitch and EM....here is a planning thread for you all to plan ideas for a Houston based happy hour. I hope we'll get to meet one, two, or all three of you not to mention ANYONE else from Houston this Saturday at Pappas Seafood at I45 feeder to IAH exit. We should be there about 4pm until ???
As for a regular happy hour....we had almost 200 people register at SeaSpace so once we contact them and invite them to join us...I suspect a few more from Houston will materalize! We might want to see how that fleshes out! In the meantime.... plan away!
Some thoughts and ideas:
1. Try to give about 3-4 weeks advance notice unless you are capitalizing on something like SD folks being in Houston departing on a trip!
2. You can plan something impromptu where people just show up or something more formal where we plan to get folks from Austin, Houston and maybe Dallas as well. Or you can plan to do some of both.
3. If doing a Happy Hour...several ideas have been tried and work well....for land locked destinations choosing a weekend night and negotiating Happy Hour prices all night, free food and 20-25% discounts off main courses works well on Tue & Wed evenings...typically slower nights. If doing a diving destination happy hour then combining diving and a happy hour works well like Florida and California.
Let me know what I can do to help and I look forward to seeing you all VERY soon! Kamala aka Wreck Wench
