BMW Roundel Any Houston area Pelicans...doing something for Dueller. Picking up car and heading

I think I have closed the deal on a BMUU 525itA sport wagon and will be flying into Houston TX next Tuesday. Time for me to do something for myself rather than those who now reside in my estrogen infused home (Wife, 2 stepdtrs, cat and schnauzerr...all of the fairer gender). Heading back that evening or early Wednesday morning.

Anybody up for a quick beer along the way?

Let us know when you're in town. Which airport, Bush or Hobby? If it is Bush, I can pick you up. For Hobby, I'll let a "southlander" volunteer.

Plan to start out Wednesday morning, so we can take you to the Stags head or some such place.

Sorry, Houston is a little too far from Austin to travel during the week right now.

It's also my 'hood, I'm probably the closest Pelican to there. Pretty much 3 miles straight up Gessner from there.

Are you leaving the same day you get here?
I'd like to meet up with some local Pelicans.
