    We need to set a date for January.

    Here are my suggestions:
    1/13 v. Sacramento
    1/19 v. Lakers
    1/23 v. Denver
    1/24 v. Philly
    1/30 v. Miami

    I'd prefer not for 1/15 v. Utah (UConn v. UT) or the 1/16 v. Toronto (on national television).

    What do you guys (Freak, Clutch, BrianKagy, SamCassell, shanna, any others) think?

    I vote for the 19th, since I think that's almost assured of being an entertaining game. But I'm available pretty much any of those days.

    What about location? North again? I thought Showplace Lanes worked out pretty well.

    While we're on the topic...do you know of any place near campus [or even downtown] that shows the Rockets? I tried going to the Tavern on 12th and Lamar once, but it was loud, crowded, and everyone there was watching boxing [​IMG]

    Thanks,
    Wick

    Wick, the Tavern was the location for Rocketball I. Very crowded, hard to find parking, but we did get to watch the Rockets. I think Clutch arranged it ahead of time.

    The 19th is a Friday -- that cause any problems for anyone? (reason I ask is I remember last time people saying they prefer non-weekend nights).

    Works for me though ... I'm game.

    Jeff mentioned that you would be in town then.

    I vote for 1/23,1/24, or 1/30. 1/24 may not be good though because it's a back-to-back against a decent team (unless it's a home game). I'd rather not see the Rockets get blown out at our gathering!

    I'm down with the 23rd. Good chance at a win, it's all good.

    We probably should do the 23rd... as much as I want some unlimited grub during the game (Gatti's), Showplace Lanes did work out well.

    Behad -- I still want to make it to a Houston get together but that date might be tough ... we'll organize one and then definitely publicize it on the front page...

    23rd it is then. Fine by me. Is that a home game, or in Denver (makes a difference for when the game starts)? And I haven't heard any other suggestions for location.

    What the heck did happen to those H-town get togethers? I'd think Houston could put together a good turnout, since we've had 2 successful events in Austin already.

    I'm, unfortunately, out of town on the 19th. I might cruise up on the 23rd, however.

    I know you guys have heard this before, but I will most assuradely be there on the 23rd. MS just bought out the place I USED to work, and I no longer have a job.

    I am starting my own PC game company, and am looking for good names, if you got one, and don't mind giving it away...fire me an email, or post it here.

    Clutch, if you want we could do a contest.
