    For parking, uptown can't be beat. Plus, people are used to seeing exotics in the area, so it won't attract much attention. (yeah right)

    if we do uptown, is there a venue that has a patio or has a section that is very visible to the parking lot?
    also what time are we thinking? lunch? afternoon? morning?

    I work close to Uptown Park, it would be an excellent location: http://www.uptownparkhouston.com/fw/main/Home-395.html. Choices of restaurants here:

    Andre’s Pastry Shop & Cafй
    Arturo’s Uptown Italiano
    Belvedere
    Cafe Express
    Champps Americana
    McCormick & Schmick’s
    Seafood Restaurant
    Potbelly Sandwiches
    The Tasting Room
    Uptown Sushi

    Whichever you prefer (I love sushi but knowing you Texas guys you probably won't go for bait.. lol), I would suggest calling ahead for a reservation, explaining the group and requesting a block of parking spots. The nicer restaurants would probably be glad to have a gaggle of exotics parked in front and should not have a problem with it.

    Another venue - Hotel Granduca behind Uptown Park (http://www.granducahouston.com, they have parking in front of the hotel and they have some dining options: http://www.granducahouston.com/diningareas.htm. We've stayed there on my husband's birthday and the hotel is very nice, old-world-Italian ambiance.

    I think time of day and order of operation will have a factor on where we ultimately go. Meet, drive, bar/restaurant...............other way around. There's always less traffic on the road early in the morning on weekends, but............Ro, I think it's your call since you brought it up.

    If we meet then drive I might bring the kids with me depending if the little lady works that day. My little one is always asking "Is dat a Perrari?" Now I'll be able to tell him "Yes, yes it is" Unless he's looking at Ro and Kevins Lambos.

    I think morning is a good way to go, as long as I get my coffee first. Memorial/Allen Prkwy is dead in the morning.

    That should work for me.

    We could always head out to sugarland again. There's a huge selection of food in a very small area.

    You guys decide. I know I brought it up but I'm not sure I can make it now since I have a pending business trip to Florida this weekend.

    I am 95% sure I can make it out this Saturday as I am trying to leave on Sunday.

    I don't want to hold anyone up since it seems there are tons of people that want to go. I know the Porsche guys and others also want to go.

    I vote for Jason to be the Social Director for this one!?? :)

    Just decide on your agenda, meeting place, time, etc. and I will make it. I will als inform the other poeple.

    By the way, weathe looks great for Saturday! Sunny and around 70 degrees.

    If you guys do the cruise in the morning and sit down somewhere for lunch I can meet up. I am eating lunch with my girlfriend who will be at the boat show so if you all choose uptown park that would be right around the corner. Anyway I will keep looking on here to see where you all will be at.

    OK, here is the plan ladies and gentlemen... lets meet at Wylie's Starbucks at 10am Saturday morning. It is at Sheperd and W. Gray. We can all hang out there for a bit and drink $20 coffees and shoot the ****. Then we can all decide on where would be a good place to drive for a lunch. Once we decide, we can call ahead of time to see if they can reserve some spots... sound like a plan?

    So who is all in?

    I'm pretty sure I can make it, unless I wake up with a hangover.;) I'll probably get there a bit early myself.

    Red 308GTB has a minor oil leak, not too bad at present, just a wisp as it hits the exhaust.

    *checking fire extinguisher gauge*

    I'm in, I owe Gregg a ride for all his help.....
