Houstonist Bartender: Salty Dog
Oddly enough, the winter is when our citrus ripens, we find that we get more fruit than we can say grace over each year. So, we pawn it off on friends and juice what we have room to freeze, then we either eat the rest - or make fresh juice. You know, now that we think on it - our growing season is all off-kilter from our consuming season. Okra peaks in the summer, but,...

Hopefully by now you've been able to swing by Xnihilo Gallery and have a look at the wonderful photography exhibition that we put together known as 600 sq mi: Hidden.

H-Town Rock
For the weekend of November 19th - 22nd, 2009
The weekend before Thanksgiving is certainly a popular one for events, and this year is no different - Art Crawl, Via Colori, Spacetaker's WHAM, a You[Genious] release party, some art openings and a whole smattering of other happenings are going on this weekend. Houstonist supposes that no one wants to try to fight the holiday weekend. We're not complaining, but it certainly has our concert calendar full.

We know we say this a lot in our Monday posts, but it bears repeating - we're alive!

Alliance for Lupus Research Walk: Tomorrow 9:00 a.m.
We know, this is late notice for a walk - however, we felt compelled to get the word out, as it's come to our attention that a walk to raise money to cure a chronic disease or at least find new treatment in the fourth largest city in our nation has raised less than half of it's fund-raising goal. How much is that goal? A million dollars? Half a million dollars? Nope, one hundred thousand...
