I don't know what part of Houston you are in, but I know there are a lot of REALLY bright guys that get together over at the G's and Z's on Alameda in the Third Ward. I live down Sunset by Rice Village but I was in that coffee shop one night when they got together. I have to confess that I was shocked actually at how bright those guys were.
They felt pretty inclusive too... I mean hey, they let me sit in. So I don't think it is necessarily, a "black" group.
Only issue was that I only met one of them who was into software/web startups. Most were in energy modeling or global scale logistics. Think Houston Halliburton, not San Fran Twitter.
The one I met in web startups made children's iPad games. Math if I remember correctly. Pretty cool guy though, he spoke a lot of languages. I'm looking up a couple of contact emails for those guys and I will direct them to this thread...maybe you can drop in next time they get together.
Thats cool....I grew up in that neighborhood and never knew. I'll start checking it out and see if I can meet them. You seem cool as well, hit me up on twitter we can hang as well...
