No, it's not by driving as fast as we can around loop 610, but it does include city-wide celebrations, all hoping for the same thing: No rain.

Happy V.D., kids. We want you to know that we too are sick of hearing about Lurlene's bouquet of Tasmanian orchids. And, yes, we've already puked in the lobby ficus after some jackass in the elevator broadcast the fact that his vapid squeeze du jour, SaNdi (with a heart dot), ventured out in her Hummer to combat the sub-40 degree weather and bring him a half-caff-double-extra-fat super-no-balls cup of mango scented chai crap after their morning wood fest. Houstonist felt you needed a nice pick-me-up to combat your annual V.D. Funk.

Free is the word of the day, people. Free as in "having no obligations (as to work) or commitments." For example, "Susie Spanktastic's schedule was free after she clocked out at the 24 hour modeling studio so she thought she'd have a drink with Houstonist."
