If I was a more reasonable distance to it (I'm about an hour offset currently) I'd say let's grab a beer. Then again I wouldn't say that because I'm not 21 and couldn't go to a bar and drink it. So the most we could do is grab lunch, which is kinda weird because I don't even know you well over the internet... so, yeah anyway have fun! If you get any free time, Houston's concert houses and it's theaters are pretty nice, and Rice Village is a fun place to hang out.

Thanks for the info. And no worries, if it was a tourist trip it'd be kinda cool, but I probably won't have a chance to hook up with anyone, let alone weird out under-aged strangers...

How long will your stay be? I'm sure you could convince your co-workers to have a night out on the town? You should bribe them with drinks on you.
(I didn't mean try to get them to take body-shots off you, but hey, whatever works!)

We'll probably be leaving on Friday. It might or might not be fun, depending on how the negotiations go (Americans are notorious hard-asses...
) but I have to say, I'm looking forward to them a bit, if nothing else, I won't have to adjust my accent so people understand me (everyone I work with has a thick Italian/Croatian accent and look at me like I speak Chinese when I forget myself and throw out the round r's). And if we do go out, It'll be for corporate dinners with corporate douches...:\
Say. Can anyone imagine me in a business suite doing some serius corporate business...
