The 3rd Annual Light Rail Pub Crawl rolls through Downtown and Midtown this Friday evening. Here's the inside scoop on our TENTATIVE schedule. And by TENTATIVE we mean "subject to change because we're having a great time at a place and don't want to leave or because the trains are slow." However, you should be aware that we run a tighter ship as the evening progresses because the frequency of the trains slows down.
After you've recovered from the coma-inducing tryptophan coursing through your veins tomorrow, grab your friends and family and head over to Post Oak Boulevard for one of Houston's favorite traditions: the 23rd Annual Uptown Holiday Lighting.

As promised, Houstonist mingled with about 275 intrepid people who came out to experience their first Flavor Tripping party on Friday night at The Social. And although the lines were sometimes long to get in and to get at the food, people had a wonderful time tripping the night away.
Got your tickets for the Flavor Tripping party tomorrow night? Good! Then you know that the event has been moved from the Saint Arnold brewery to The Social on Washington Avenue, due to scheduling conflicts. But don't despair -- there will still be plenty of sweet, sweet beer to go around. Instead of the flotilla of Saint Arnold brews, there will be three beers on tap for the night: Guinness (which tastes like a chocolate milkshake while under the influence of the berry), Brooklyn Lager and Saint Arnold's Elissa IPA.
When Houstonist told our 11 readers about the first-ever flavor-tripping party (a.k.a. Miracle berry party) to be held in Houston, we received several comments and emails from readers lamenting the fact that they'd missed the sold-out event.
The 2008 Houston Press "Best of Houston" Launch Party was a big success Thursday night. The event was held at Lucky's Pub and it entertained a packed crowd of Houstonians as the event featured the sounds of 80 Proof and their red hot go-go dancers. In the VIP room, the spinning of DJ Andrew Lawrence kept the crowd in a mellow grove as they enjoyed complimentary alcohol and food.

Sounds like something you and we could use. Hit Spec's on your way...
