So now that we've officially sobered up recuperated enough to write coherently — or as coherently as we ever do — we want to take a second to thank everyone who showed up at The Coffee Groundz on Saturday for the 2nd Annual Houstonist Crawfish Boil.

RockCorps was founded less than 5 years ago, in hopes to inspire volunteerism in young adults, encouraging them to be active in local community activities. Since the non-profit group also believed in the power of music, they teamed up...

Saturday: Empty Bowls Houston For a minimum $25 donation, diners will receive a simple lunch of soup freshly prepared by the Houston Food Bank Community Kitchen, along with bread and water, and then have the pleasure of selecting a bowl from hundreds of one-of-a-kind, hand-crafted bowls donated by Houston area ceramists and craft artists.

Today is the last day to donate to the 19th Annual KHOU Spirit of Texas Food Drive. All donations benefit the Houston Food Bank, which serves 80,000 people a week.
