Whoa! The meetup is today! Thanks for posting. I have to work an event today but will try to get up there for the tail end if we wrap up the event early enough.

Hello, Mustachians of Houston!

I'm a Norwegian engineer (in my late 20s) that suddenly got sent over to Houston for work. I'm only going to be in Houston for one week and I'll be coming over Wednesday 6. June and leave Wednesday 13. June.

This travel got me thinking: What if I can meet with some other Mustachians when I'm over there? If would be very fun to see how Houston is for the people living there, and not stay at the Hotel all the time. I'm still not sure how much spare time I will get when I'm there, but I think it's a chance that I'll have at least one of the weekend days off work and probably some evenings.

If anyone had some time and chance to meet up it would be amazing! Answer here, or send me a PM :)

I would also really appreciate if you have some tip and ideas of what to do in the area when I'm there. I will stay quite close to the George Bush airport while I'm there so things to do in the proximity of this area would be favorable.

Thanks in advance,

Sincerely yours,
Jon from Norway

Hi Jon, I'm able to meet up sometime this weekend June 9-10. When are you free?

Are any other Houston mustachians able to meet up?
I'll take a look at the local events calendars and see what's going on this weekend up near IAH airport...

Hi BZB,

That would be awesome, however, my plans changed a little bit. A friend of mine flew in from LA to visit me and he'll stay until Monday morning.

I'm still going to be here until Friday, so if anyone has an open spot an evening (after 5pm) Monday - Thursday the coming week I'm up for a meetup.

I'm very interested in the event, but that link is dead for me and I can't find anything else online.  Is it still on?

The event is still on.  I think  you have to be a member of ChooseFI Houston on f/b to view the link!

That meet up was awesome!

My only complaint was that I didn't get to meet everyone in the 3 hours I was there. But the people I did meet were awesome.

I agree, the meet up at St. Arnold's Brewery was fun. I don't use Facebook, so if anyone knows about more Houston Choose FI meetups, please cross post them on here.

Would anyone be interested in going to a lunch at Houston Restaurant Weeks? I don't get out to restaurants much, but this is a chance to eat at a nice place for much less money and part of the proceeds goes to the Houston Food Bank.
The one I'm eyeing is Hugo's (look at the lunch menu tab) http://www.houstonrestaurantweeks.com/?alttemplate=SearchResults#menu-hugos
The restaurant weeks deal may only be available on weekdays, will have to check. If I can get a few people who are definitely interested, let's agree on a date and I will make us a reservation.

Was a good meetup.  Four hours in the beer garden with mostly pleasant (tolerable) weather for Houston in July.  Mostly meet  and greet and light chit chat but always good to talk life goals with your tribe.  Multiple attendees past the finish line.  More that are close.  One that FIREd, discovered a passion for farming and went back to work to fund a bigger farm/fatter FIRE.
