				<![CDATA[ It may not be evening when you read this, but the time has come to put Houstonist to bed. We got word from our parents at Gothamist a few weeks ago that they felt it was time to shutter the site, due to things like statistics, advertising, and the general plight of maintaining a journalistic publication in today's economic climate.

To speak from a very personal angle for a moment, I'd like to personally thank everyone who's every contributed content, read an article, invited us to a performance or event, and really anybody who has ever laid eyes upon the site. I've really enjoyed the opportunity I've had as Editor this year, and I can truly say that I've met a fantastic amount of people and discovered a tremendous amount of music [my beat, if you hadn't figured that out yet] over the course of my tenure at Houstonist.

				<![CDATA[ Nowadays, it&#8217;s de rigueur to dog on Drayton McLane.  The long-time Astros owner is cheap and an overspender, too concerned with marketing and driving fans away with losing teams, leaves impact prospects to rot on the vine in the minors and won&#8217;t draft good players.  I&#8217;m pretty sure he&#8217;s responsible for seasonal flooding and mosquitoes, too.  But let&#8217;s hop in the Houstonist DeLorean and take a second look at the erstwhile Uncle Drayton.

				<![CDATA[ Houstonist has been an on again off again patron of Ernie's on Banks for too long to admit to(we would show our age).  Let's just say a number of years and leave it at that.  Pretty decent pub snacks (nachos, quesadillas, cheese sticks), great bartenders and a nice brew selection (plus other beverages).  These are a few of our favorite things, and all elements we found at Ernie's.  Like our very own "Cheers" in the Montrose, Ernie's was a safe haven, a cool refuge from, well, the uber-trendy douchies one occasionally runs across.

				<![CDATA[ Or at least some new horses.  On the heels of a horrible road trip last week, and a choke-job at home against the Rangers this weekend, the Astros moved decisively yesterday, calling up almost every promising player they had at Round Rock.  The new guys probably won&#8217;t be the catalyst for a drive to the World Series, but they will provide a taste of what the 2012 Astros could look like.  Let&#8217;s take a look at who's coming to Houston. [ <a class="asset-more-link" href="http://houstonist.com/2010/06/21/here_comes_the_cavalry.php">more ›</a> ] ]]>

				<![CDATA[ Now that all the appropriate (or inappropriate) public and private gestures have been made, it's clear that the Astros and Roy Oswalt have decided to start seeing other people. An ace pitcher of Oswalt's caliber doesn't often make it to the trade market, so what should Ed Wade be looking for, and who has something to offer?
