I just spoke with the manager of Joseph's Gulf Coast Grille in Pearland. He said it would be no problem for us to use his parking lot for a staging area on Sunday afternoon. They only serve a brunch on Sunday from 11 to 3, but I told him it is likely that we won't be eating there.
I am told that it is a relatively new restaurant with a big, paved lot. He asked only that we park off to the side, instead of right in front of the restaurant.
Address is:
Joseph's Gulf Coast Grille
6425 W Broadway (FM518)
Pearland Texas 77581
Sound OK?
BTW - Who's in charge of weather?
I'll also post this on HoustonCC.
