Last Friday night's 3rd Annual Light Rail Pub Crawl was our most successful one yet. Over 60 folks gathered at The Flying Saucer to kick-off things at 5:30. Next, we headed to the reborn Leon's Lounge in Midtown - arriving and departing before the Vinyl Ranch crowd rocked the house with their country vibe. By the time we arrived at Tacos a Go-Go for belly filling, our crawl had grown to include upwards of 85 folks that packed both Tacos and Big Top Lounge.
So dodge Lumbergh and get the hell out of the office. See you upstairs at Flying Saucer at 5:30! The first round is on us if you show up soon.
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.
The 3rd Annual Light Rail Pub Crawl rolls through Downtown and Midtown this Friday evening. In the immortal words of Tommy Boy, "Get ready to live!" Don't worry. It'll be more fun than cow tipping with much less risk of faceplanting in a cow pattie.
Houston's very own St. Arnold's brewery will commence with it's first ever TwitterCrawl at Hans' Bier Haus beginning at 6 p.m.

Happy bissextile day, Houston. If you're reading this from jail — we're actually not even sure if you can use the Internet in jail — well, don't feel alone: According to a new report from the Pew Center on the States, 1 of every 100 American adults are behind bars today. The good news: Texas is one of the states that has tried to slow the growth of its inmate population through community supervision of low-risk offenders and alternative punishments for some former prisoners who violate parole and probation rules. Inmate populations increased in 36 states and the federal prison system last year, the report says.
Each week Houstonist checks out the Missed Connections on Craiglist. Here's a few that we found interesting.
Houstonist is two years old. We have made great strides during our second year. We are proud to have showcased the city and the work of many talented photographers during 600 sq mi. And, we are also proud and very relieved to have safely hosted over 60 folks on the Light Rail Pub Crawl. Thanks to our 11 veteran readers and our one new recruit. We love you. You're the jam in our jelly...
Houstonist was introduced to a unique cocktail a few years ago on a Roman pub crawl (yeah, in Italia) put on by a group of ex-pat Americans. After a few stops we'd grown tired of Moretti, Campari and rum-and-cokes that tasted like unleaded-and-cokes. Then, a scene similar to the following unfolded INTERIOR - ROCK CASTLE A dimly lit barroom interior featuring ancient masonry work with various weapons of the bashing and bladed variety hanging...
It's time for another Photo of the Day Special Edition. Today we have photos and a video from our Happy Birthday Houston Pub Crawl that was held Friday, August 31. We had a great time downtown. We stopped at The State Bar, Cabo, Shay McElroys and Warren's. We got to meet and mingle with our readers as well as grab a bite to eat and put back a few. This event was a blast, but...
If you're Friday is going anything like Houstonist's, the boss is trying to get you to work the weekend and the overachieving douchebag from down the hall just scheduled a meeting from 4:30 to 5:30, and it's not a Happy Hour. Chin up, little buddy. The Happy Birthday Houston Pub Crawl is just moments away. We're cranking up things at State Bar at 6ish and will be there for a bit before meandering to...
Steel Lounge Underground Music Series at CAMH Well, we hope you all survived the storm of the century last night. Even if you did, looks like the labor day weekend's gonna be more of the same. Guess we should just chalk this whole summer up. Here's to a sunny 2008 summer! Of course, really the only event worth going to tonight is our Houston's B-day Pub Crawl Downtown, but of course that wouldn't be fair...
The smoking ban goes into effect on Saturday morning at midnight. Ring in the new era with Houstonist as we get together on Friday night to celebrate Houston's birthday, which is actually today. We're cranking up things at State Bar at 6 on the o'clock and want you to be there. You'll probably hear a lot from our opinionated staff about booze, politics, 600 sq mi (our photo show), live music, bar food and...

Houstonist is happyist when we aren't working, when we are able to drive south on Shepherd from Allen Parkway to Richmond without encountering left turning jackasses, and when we get to hang out with our readers. We're celebrating Houston's 171st birthday with a pub crawl on August 31st. Join us for a stroll in and around the establishments in the Market Square area. Share your thoughts about the site and we may buy you...

This week's crop of Missed Connections seemed harmless enough, even sweet. But if you're Barnie's wife: 1. you may not want to read this & 2. how did you ever get used to spooning a large, purple polyester dinosaur?
Our hangover from the pub crawl is finally gone. Time to make another one. Join us at Kay's Lounge on May 17th for some good old fashioned beer drinking and carousing. What's not to love about throwing back a cold beer while seated around the Texas table? The plan is to focus our efforts on only one joint this time around. However, we can't be held responsible if a pub crawl evolves since Volcano...
Today’s Photo of the Day comes from flickr user and Houstonist photo contributor finna dat. Houstonist knows all about light rail. We just had our light rail pub crawl last week! These folks are on their way to The Whiskey in the hotel Icon for smoking cosmos, a signature drink featuring dry ice. While we can't vouch for them, we certainly endorse using rail to get from bar to bar. Remember, don't drink and...
Good morning, Houston. Did you enjoy a big oyster dinner over the weekend? Might want to stay close to the toilet: The FDA is advising people to steer clear of oysters from San Antonio Bay, about 60 miles northeast of Corpus Christi, after more than two dozen people became ill from eating them last month. The people developed nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and other nasty symptoms; the oyster bed has been shut down pending an...
It's a special edition of the Houstonist Flickr Photo of the Day. These photos are from our Light Rail Pub Crawl. Did you make it out? If so, you might be in one of these shots. If not, check out the photos to see what you missed. We had a great time Friday night. Our host and Houstonist staff member, Jason Bargas, took us to places along the MetroRail line. We stopped at The Flying...
Houstonist has just about recovered from last night's Light Rail Pub Crawl, so now we're ready to enjoy this beautiful weather and catch the 3rd Annual Rockin' for Rise concert. We told you about the event several days ago on our Live Music Calendar, and it's one that you shouldn't miss. The benefit music showcase kicked off last night at the Hard Rock Cafe and continues today at the Last Concert Cafe, starting now and...
