The first hosts in Houston have put events on the calendar. See what is on in Houston, then add yours: the calendar is short, and nothing you put up will be fighting for attention.
Free to host. About a minute of work.
Worth knowing before you pick a time and a place, because the metro is not one crowd.
Families and long commutes. Saturday morning and early afternoon fill; a 7pm start in the city loses most of this group to the drive.
Young professionals living close to work, and the most reliable weeknight crowd in the metro.
Spread out and often overlooked, which means anything hosted here has almost no competition for attention.
The first few events in a metro follow a pattern. These are the ones that fill.
Football on Saturday morning beats an open invitation to hang out. A fixed slot gives people permission to turn up alone.
Twelve people every fortnight builds a room. One large launch that never repeats builds nothing.
Sisters only, brothers only, families, students. The vaguer the audience, the fewer people feel invited.
Keep it going.
