Yes, the beauty of a Meet-Up is you get to see people you've encountered only online in the real world. I'm based in Orlando, FL. You might think about announcing a Houston area Meet-Up and see who responds. Of course, like many areas, Houston takes in a lot of territory. However, it would be a good way to connect with a lot of people. Let me know how it goes for you on that.
