Houston, We have writers

And editors and publishers and agents and storytellers and illustrators and translators and GREAT restaurants and pubs even. How about we meet up socially once a month where we can park for free and maybe get free appetizers with a cash bar.
I'm thnking Cavatorre's on Ella and TC Jester( 1 light off 610 and Ella)-a 100 year old barn with original wood plank ceilings and floors moved in from Navasota.with alcoves and 5 separate dining rooms and bar. We could have our own room or meet at the bar. I'll be happy to schmooze the owners into pampering us if there is some good interest.
Do we have a go?

Hello Below- Glad you are interested. Let's gather a few more and meanwhile I'd like to learn more about your efforts for literary time on the radio waves. Is KPFT helping ?

And the numbers are growing.
There's a few more people I know are from Houston on this site and I'll tap them on the shoulder.
I picked Cav's because if we get it started and grow the owners will support us. And it's free parking easy access. And there's lots of writers already here in the Heights/Oak Forest/ Garden Oaks area.
Below, what do you write? Interesting thread you have on the case in Canada.
I see from your profile you are coming into Fiction, 7, Do you have a WIP ?

I'll second that. Wait- that's tomorrow. At the risk of sounding like a temperature gage- Seven?
Below?

As you enter the long narrow bar is to your left and there are a couple of small tables at the end. I'll be there ( sans wings) and have the AW logo on a sheet of paper- if I can print it up.

According to my calendar it would be Tuesday Aug 14th.
Hope to see you, we have a lot of interest from journalists and naturally writers. And now 8 writers groups, ( one did a story on it in their newsletter) a nearby independant book store, two university literature professors and one FBI agent. How he got in there I don't know, but we will be able to tell him how the story ends....

We'll miss you Below- Have you heard of Bay Area Writers League? Tell them I sent you. How far are you from Sugar Land? There is the Fort Bend Writers Guild- which I belong to. Both are multi genre and supportive. FBWG has excellent workshops and contests and a newsletter and a weekly critique group.
But no one, absolutely no one has a social gathering like WOW.
Stay in touch

Kelly;
The good thing about WOW is we plan to always be around. We have decided to help the restaurant owner out by writing the description of the special for him. Of course we get to taste it. And if favorite patrons are celebrating an anniversary or special date we will all collaborate on a piece of prose or poetry commemorating the event for them. We are having a unique evening and oh by the way, you may not have made it but your muse was there...
