Share The folks in Irving imploded Texas Stadium this morning. I have been browsing the net for different views. I’ve been most impressed by the cuts from CNN.com If you go to YouTube and search implosion, you can spend a good part of the date watching videos of buildings being blown to bits. While [...]
Share I woke up this morning to Van Halen’s Right Now. It put me in a good mood, and I figure you can hit play below, then read the rest of the post. It’s got my brain working, maybe sooner than I would have liked, and makes for good background music to this post. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79fMGoXiSq0] [...]
Share I got an update yesterday about the Texas Bowl I would like to share with you. If Navy beats Temple tomorrow in Annapolis, they will stamp their ticket to the 2009 Texas Bowl. While it would appear inevitable the Midshipmen will be playing in Houston in December, it is still important for them to [...]
Share Got this from a co-worker, can’t take any credit for it, but had to post it. 1. You must learn to pronounce the city name. It is “Hue-stun,” not “Ewe-stun”, or “house-tun” Oh yea, the street is pronounced ”San Phil-ee-pay,” not” San Phil-eep” ( San Felipe) Enunciate, you idiots! 2. Forget the traffic rules you learned elsewhere. Houston [...]
Share Black Water Rising by Attica Locke should have been two novels. Locke forced two tenuously linked plots into the book to the detriment of both. What makes this all the more disappointing is the book is actually very well written. The novel begins with attorney Jay Porter taking his wife Bernie on a cruise [...]
Share So this is a repost of something I wrote nearly two years ago. A friend who I went on a date on when I first wrote this post discovered it after searching the Interwebs for the Win a Date with an Urban Houstonian contest. I found myself laughing out loud when I read it [...]
Share Thanks to everyone who supported the Win a Date with an Urban Houstonian Contest. You can’t do something like this without some great people to make it work, and I am blessed with some of the best. In the end, I received one entry. Yeah, only one. I’ m not going to lie, it [...]
Share Houston, we have a problem. Our dating scene sucks . . . bad. It’s not that we lack fantastic people. No, Houston is chock full of them. But how many douchebaggy bars, art gallery openings and young professional “networking” events do you have to attend before you find that one decent guy or gal that [...]
Share When I’m reading my magazines, I am always thrilled to find a mention of Houston. This was a little snippet from Food & Wine’s Grilling Guide. The recipes for these sauces by Robert Del Grande (Cafe Annie/Bar Annie) are mouthwatering and, more importantly, wonderfully simple. Give them a go!
Share This is very welcome news to Downtown nightlife. I was very worried about the future of Houston Pavilions when Lucky Strike pulled out at the end of last year. It am incredibly excited about the wealth of new options that will be opening next month. I know where I’ll be spending my nights this [...]
