Last night, I was invited to a gathering of folks at a place called Simone's on Sunset for dinner and drinks. I was invited by the wonderful proprietor of 14 Pews, Cressandra Thibodeaux. She introduced me to a number of folks that were more than willing to educate me on the happenings/groups in the Houston area.
That is one of the best things about the Houston area... the friendliness. I have frequented most of the major metropolitan cities in the US and the folks here in Houston have been some of the friendliest people to us "transplants" (ranking right up there with St. Louis in my mind). The people I met last night were very enthusiastic about all of the happenings going on in Houston and were anxious to share.
It was also just wonderful to be sitting outside on an April evening. I just keep telling myself "I'll never be cold again" with a big ole' smile on my face. Having said that the drinks were a bit pricey ($5 a glass for the Happy Hour merlot) and $10 a piece for a smallish pizza that were really pedestrian in taste and had a rather chewy crust. But aside from those nit-picky things, the evening was rather enjoyable. The company you keep can make up for a whole lot... Salut!
