Yes I'm in Dallas county now.
I was never actually in Houston though, I was South of Houston in Brazoria County.
That'd be nifty if ISNA was in Htown...I might actually go haha

Alot of revenue comes from the macking scene.
of course- hotels won't shut something down that they're making money off of. but note how ventanas (that rooftop restaurant) is always closed during isna weekend- there's only so much they'll put up with. they also modify their menus to make it easier to sell to such a large/not white crowd. and they're not exactly happy (obviously this part's not a bad thing, alhamdulillah) about not getting much money off booze from the muslim crowd, which is a total moneymaker in the restaurant business. and even restaurants have their tipping point as far as staying open late goes- ever talked to a server at that terrace thingy restaurant isna weekend around 1am? they are not happy campers, in my experience. who knows though; maybe i haven't seen all the happy hotel and restaurant staff late nights at the hyatt.

so yeah, ultimately, hotels do it for the money, and they get it or they wouldnt be allowing isna to take place there. that's not what i'm talking about. i'm talking about the actions that cause negative perceptions of muslims. you can very easily get labelled when you're in a crowd of 30,000.

my friend and i want to write a book and title it "Shaykhsperiences" it will be a collection of those moments of realization we have that could so easily fit into a lecture by a shaykh...u know the ones where they look at a piece of gum and derive some insane meaning of life out of it? insha Allah one day...

but yeah, your screen name always reminds me of our "shaykhsperiences" book
