But you all went to Chili's! YAY! Maybe there is hope for us down here in fandom to get to hang with the Great One!  ;D

Are there any other members of the board who plan to attend RT?  Should we try to get Jim and Shannon to ourselves, if possible?

My girlfriend and I are kidnapping them for lunch at the Hobbit. (Jim will be of two minds on the place...Tolkiengasm, but healthy food.) As we get closer I was going to ask them if we can drag board people with us. Presumably, the answer will be "hell, yes!" but I don't actually know.

Oh, I hope so. I'd love to tag along.

We're looking at doing dinner at The Hobbit Weds April 25.

What time would be good for people? The Hobbit  is at roughly Richmond and Kirby, inside the loop, SW of downtown.Map later.

The Hobbit is a fun place. My daughter took me there for brunch once. :) Any time is okay with me. Whatever works best for Jim and Shannon.

Is there room for a paranoid veteran who read the books to get away from reality??..LOL yeah I know that was extreme. Hey Mr Finn if there is anymore info for the readers who live in Houston will you post it for them or Private Message them? Cuz I'd like to do the whole thing you are talking about. I'd just like a little more info. Thank you ...Crap a Wednesday..Damn the man..I have to work...

Mickey, you're going to be there also! Hooray!  ;D Please count me in at the Hobbit--I will have a lot of responsibilities elsewhere but I will schedule that if you let me know the time. Thanks.

It's open to all, as far as I know, and the Wednesday thing is because that's when they're free. ;)

I know some people do not live in the area. Could they suggest a time? I don't want to schedule it past 7.

I'll also need a headcount for grabbing a table.

Six pm is fine with me. And it's just me coming, so 1 for your head count.

Crap ...the only time I can do it is at 1130 AM ...F-ing work... If that could be a time the headcount would be two..Myself and my girlfriend. If 1130 AM is't possible then I guess my girlfriend and I can't go.

They unfortunately won't even get into Bush Intergalactic until shortly before then....IF their flight is on time.

BTW, Jim...who isn't a romance author...has all his 3 panels on Friday: Friday 10-11, Friday 11-12, Friday 5-6
Shannon, who is a romance author, has none. Go figure.
