Houston should have a nice, partly sunny day tomorrow. Mother Nature's timing could not be any better, as it clears up for the 3rd Annual Rory Miggins Memorial Irish Stew Cook-off, located this year at the Continental Club. The festivities will commence at 3700 Main Street at high noon straight up 1:00 p.m., with entertainment both inside and outside until 6:00 p.m. Admission to this fine event, for a finer cause, is only $10 and includes live music, Irish dancing, great food, a Guinness Beer Relay and more (like raffles, which means prizes). Not only is the admission a bargain, this is a wonderful afternoon activity, well, gaggle of activities, conveniently located. Your price of admission helps fund the St. Patrick's Day Parade and honors a great local Irish-American, Rory Miggins. more ›

Rock Talk might be a day late, but it is definitely not a bit short. Here's your weekly update on the Houston scene. more ›

We often speak of the immense amount of music that occurs in this town, and the depth of our local talent. Allow us to introduce our newest feature covering the local music scene, Ol' Houstonian's Music Emporium. Come one, come all, and let us share with you some local music that we came across in the past week! Note: This new feature is an attempt to expose local music of which we either weren't aware or hadn't listened to yet, accompanied by a few remarks about said artist. It is by no means an attempt at a comprehensive listing of local acts. more ›

For the week of February 1st - 3rd, 2010 Well, the old concert calendar is a bit light for the next few days, and Houstonist is just thankful that our pickings will be a bit easier for a few nights.
