True facts. If you ain't willing to drive an hour, you ain't Texan.

Shoot, an hour west and I'm just barely clearing Sealy.


Tell you what, man, I would like to get down there at some point, if nothing else just to grab some beers and catch up.

Just let me know, I'll lay in a supply of suds. :-)

Ha! I was gonna say, Google Maps says it's 45 minutes if you somehow can keep it at 60 the whole way. Last Saturday we took Cora to Discovery Green and it took over an hour, because we were lucky to average 30 mph.

"15 minutes" sounds like the way my friend from East Texas reckons travel times:
"How far is your house from the office?" "Five minutes."
"How far from Houston to Nacogdoches?" "Five minutes."
"How far from your bedroom to the bathroom?" "Five minutes."
Dude's like freaking Rain Man when it comes to numbers!

Says the guy who makes an 8-hour round trip for a 4-hour game... Not that I didn't appreciate it, mind you!

See, this is the difference. Freehold is used to spending an hour to get a few miles, rather than an hour on the open road.

[Granted I've heard the Dallas-Fortworth area can get ridiculously congested as well.]

Last Saturday all of the freeways were under construction around downtown. The ramp from 45 to 59 was closed, I-10 was closed at the 45 overpass, and they have a ton of stuff going on east of downtown.

Driving home from HWY 6 and Bellaire to Wayside and 45 took twenty-five minutes yesterday, without construction.

Yeah, I saw some show based in NY and one of the participants was b+#$+ing about a three hour commute over a distance that takes me twenty minutes to drive in Houston, non-peak time, and probably forty five minutes at rush hour.

Gary rides a bike, so I'm sure he can cover more ground faster than most, usually.


Are you by chance looking for more players? My work just relocated me to Katy. Am willing to travel into Houston for a 3.5 D&D or Pathfinder game. 18+ years playing table top RPG games. Been out of it for the last 18 months, I really want to get back to playing.


Lucian, I'm in Bear Creek and work in Katy. If you want to meet for a beer sometime we can talk gaming and maybe set something up.


I'm looking at houses in Bear creek meadows, tomorrow after noon. The move will be finalized on August 20th. After that or next weekend the 1st I am free.


Cool -- shoot me a note when you get settled in.
Welcome to Houston!


I am finally settled in, Got a house off Barker cypress and 529. I have room to host, will need to get a bigger table, but we have plenty of room. Would love to get a group going for west Houston.


i would be in


Welcome! I could probably run a weeknight game with shorter sessions, but my time on weekends is unfortunately fairly well jammed up for the foreseeable future. If you guys wanted to meet up for a beer or something after work one day, we could consider our options.


Got a bar in mind? I'm from east Houston. Work in North just off of 610.


Ouch.

Hmmm. There's a Guadalajara off the I-10 feeder not far west of 610. That might be a bit far south and east for Lucian, though. Maybe you guys know somewhere further north?


OK, if I need to make a command decision, I'll be at Clay's tomorrow evening at 1900 hours. If either/both of you guys want to meet me for a burger or just a beer and talk gaming, please join me or RSVP with an alternative time/place.
