The Big Easy is "the place to be" for all party-goers this Sunday afternoon! Local blues legend, Earl Gilliam - the best Blues organist alive, is home from a two-month stay in the hospital. In December, 2008, Earl suffered an initial, partial-lung collapse which he recently had surgically corrected, hence the long hospitalization. The Big Easy is having a huge party, this Sunday, October 4th from 2:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m., as over 15 Blues and Zydeco bands and musicians will be taking the stage to help raise monies for the Gilliam's to offset their medical expenses. Sponsored by The Big Easy, The Houston Blues Society, and the Blues DJ's from 90.1 KPFT, along with a good number of volunteers - this promises to be a fantastic party.

Some time today, while repairs were being made at KPFT, an accidental fire broke out causing damage to the roof and interior parts of the building. The building was evacuated while HFD extinguished the fire. There were no injuries.

Does Houston have any pirate radio stations? Houstonist is not sure but we would like to be enlightened, because the only reference we have for pirate radio (that is, radio unregulated by the FCC) is this Christian Slater opus that seethes 1990s ambiance so thickly it's both impossible to watch and impossible to watch.
