Posted H-Town Rock to Houstonist
For the weekend of November 5th - 8th, 2009
See?! We told you there would be plenty of music this weekend. Never doubt Papa Houstonist.

You can listen to the full 24 minute interview [complete with Steven's million-dollar flashbulb idea] here. There is the occasional dirty word, so get some headphones if you're at work.

For the week of November 2nd - 4th, 2009 Houstonist hopes you got plenty of candy this weekend - we had plenty of the liquid, booze-filled variety. It's a light week here at H-Town Rock, but it should pick up this weekend when Austin's FunFunFun Fest drags some bands through town. We'll be keeping this short and simple today, as our picks felt pretty obvious. Feel free to disagree with Papa Houstonist, but realize you...
