Gauging Interest For a Houston Roadmeet (January 2027?)

I mentioned this elsewhere on the forum recently, but I'm curious to get some feedback. I'm contemplating hosting a roadmeet in Houston sometime in 2027, most likely in January before it gets hot in the summer. I do want to note that my life is probably going to change in a big way in the next year or so as I graduate and go on to grad school, so I will have a much better picture on whether I can host sometime midway through 2026. But Houston is the largest US city where there has not yet been a roadmeet, so I would love the opportunity to host a meet there!

Here are some ideas I have for things to see:
- Button copy signs in Memorial Park and on US 90 ALT
- New TX 288 toll lanes
- I-69 arch bridges near downtown
- Those awful Westheimer traffic signals
- The ship channel bridges on I-610 and Beltway 8
- Spur 5 construction
- TX 146 expansion through Kemah and/or Fred Hartman bridge
- Washburn Tunnel

Would anyone else be interested in such a meet, and what items would people be interested in? And is January a good month to hold a meet?

My wife and I would be interested, but can't commit to the timing this far out.

I would be very interested because it would finally give me a reason to visit and explore Houston!  I love the idea.  Is it realistic for me to be able to attend?  I'm not sure but I'd love to try.

I have only been through Houston one time and that was in 2013, would love to see more of the city and the freeway system but not sure if I can make it work with my schedule, will definitely keep this in mind
