Houstonist 1st birthday party: Wednesday, Dec. 13

As we noted a while back, Nov. 20 was a special day for Houstonist: It was our first birthday. It seems like yesterday when we started talking about car chases, hamburgers and the fair-haired Shelley Sekula-Gibbs — it's really hard to believe it's been a whole year (yes, technically a year and someodd days now, we know). We've had a great time keeping up with the city and getting to know our 11 faithful readers, some of whom even rock the comments section and drop us creepy stalker notes news tips from time to time.

But enough with the sentimentality — let's talk about our first birthday party. It's happening from 6ish to 8ish Wednesday, Dec. 13 at Warren's, one of our favorite downtown bars. We'll be buying y'all drinks until our tab runs out, so grab some friends, head downtown and help send us stumbling drunkenly into our second year of sweet life. (This actually sounds remarkably similar to our real first birthday party — but that's another story.)
