Houston TX

I am in Houston Texas working for a market/sales firm for mostly the oil and gas industry.
Houston is the fourth largest city in the U.S.A and is home to hundreds of fortune 500 companies, second to NYC.
Houston is an entrepreneur town. I haven't gotten a real vibe for the city and the people yet. As far as business goes, people/clients expect the best. No exceptions. This is a very competitive, savvy, international city. The O/G companies keep Houston in a bubble as far as the recession is concerned. It doesn't exist here. Homes and property are dirt cheap. People drive fancy cars, wear fancy clothes and eat at fancy, high-end restaurants. It's similar to L.A. in many ways. It's L.A. with more than one profitable industry.

I'm attending my first Houston Filmmaker event this week. Not sure what to expect but looking forward to meeting some folks who enjoy movies as much as I do.

I miss California but being in a city unaware of the recession is pretty cool too.
I'll be back in Los Angeles to catch the midnight premier of "Breaking Dawn part 1" with my flask filling ladies. CAN'T WAIT!!!

Until then....
