Houston's run-off elections are coming up. If you have moved around lately, or were not registered to vote in this past election and want your voice heard, come on out tonight and get your "voting papers" in order. The Usual Pub is hosting a happy hour tonight complete with $1 Lone Star and free burgers for everyone who needs to ready themselves to vote, or would like to chat politics with some of their peers. The party kicks off at 7:00 p.m. and Lone Star is rumored to be handing out some swag to go with the $1 brews.

We're getting old, we just can't hang like we used to. Shows that start at 10 PM on a week night? Unthinkable, unless it's on the magnitude of Johnny Cash rising from the dead for one last performance. The kind folks at Rudyard's feel our pain, and tonight will kick off their Monthly Happy Hour Show. The first Thursday of every month, Rudz will feature a couple of acts starting at 6 PM. They promise to end by 8:30 so we can get our tired old butts to bed at a reasonable hour. The Happy Hour starts at 5:30 with drink specials and a $5 taco bar. Should you need further justification, the proceeds from the $5 cover go to a local charity.
For years Houstonians have grumbled about the lack of dining options in the Museum District. Grumble no more, there's a new taco shop in town. Bodega's Taco Shop is continuing their summer-long Thursday night Party on the Patio this week, with tunes by DJ George.G and giveaways from the mysteriously named "Tequila Drink Sponsors". If you can stand the heat, Bodega's Taco Shop has a spacious patio looking down lovely Caroline Street and boasts some of the best 'ritas in town. We hear the tamarind margarita (pictured) is the way to go.

Congratulations, team. January is in the rearview mirror, and we're one month closer to the stifling heat and humidity that comes with early Spring (and sometimes late Winter) in the 713. Houstonist is concerned for your health and well being which is why we'd like to coach you on proper hydration and relaxation techniques.
Houstonist would like to help you non-planners with devising a strategy for your weekend. Step 1: start to relax now. Step 2: come to Happyist on Friday.
Need entertainment on the cheap? Here's what Houstonist is doing this weekend:
Houstonist's 3rd Annual Light Rail Pub Crawl is quickly approaching, which means you need to start training. Join us at West Alabama Ice House as we kick-off the new year (we're slow starters) on Friday, February 6th.

Yes, Houston - The Black Godfather is gracing us with his presence this Friday night!!! Houston's own, The Allen Oldies Band will be backin' up Andre Williams at the Continental Club and the show begins at 10 p.m. You don't know who he is? We'll hook you up. A ladie's man from way back, Andre was born in Bessemer, Alabama in 1936 and eventually ended up in Detroit, where he recorded over 50 songs for Fortune Records. He has worked for Barry Gordy and produced records for Stevie Wonder and Ike and Tina Turner. In addition to his own songs, he has written material for George Clinton's Funkadelic. Now, Chi-Town is where he makes his home. Some of his material includes "Shake A Tailfeather", "Bacon Fat", "JailBait" and "Pass the Biscuits". As if this weren't intriguing enough, you really need to see "raunch rock" for yourself, so head on over to the Continental Club for some serious good times tomorrow night.
We're not claiming to be winos, but Houstonist is just like any other Joe Schmo who likes a good glass of wine. . .or two. Maybe three. That being said, we were more than thrilled to stumble (not literally—that comes 
afterwards) across Sonoma Wine Bar and Boutique. Okay, so we didn't even bother checking out the "boutique" part, but do you blame us?

We have a confession to make. Merely two weeks into our low cholesterol diet, we've fallen off the low cholesterol wagon and dove into the chow wagon. But it wasn't our fault! We were tempted by an evil and sinister force: oysters. More specifically, Danton oysters. So, you understand, right? Right? Confession aside, let's get to the nitty gritty--these oysters are anything but gritty. We walked into the place with full intentions to abide by...

VS As shopping season is about to kick into high gear (yes, Thanksgiving is right around the corner which means that crazed shopaholics, uhh, we mean dedicated parents, come out of the woodworks to get a little violent for good deals) and Houstonist plans to be in the midst of all the hubbub at the Galleria. Yes, the parking will be crazy. Yes, the mall will be packed. Yes, we'll spoil ourselves to a...
A recent phone conversation with Houstonist's doctor went like this: Doctor: Houstonist, your tests came back and everything looks great except for your cholesterol. Houstonist: Cholesterol? Really? Doctor: I'm not sure how much you know about cholesterol levels, but what we're shooting for is under 200. Yours is 250. As you can imagine, this has major ramifications, especially for someone like you. Heart disease is the number one killer of women. . . . ....
