well, galveston is only about 50 miles from Houston. a few CEG'ers around here. we don't get together because, well, i don't know. we just haven't been able to i guess, although i have met some of them.
galveston is kinda small, i guess. i don't live there, so i don't know if there's much to do. but you should be around for Mardi Gras. doesn't compare to New Orleans, but it's decent. it'll be in February.
