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. Never fear! Houstonist is here for you, babies. Flavor-tripping is back, and it's back in a big way. The next flavor-tripping party to be held in Houston will be even bigger and better than the event held a......

Brothers has been a fixture on the L.A. music scene for years, but his big break came when his hushed lullaby, "Blue Eyes," was featured prominently in Zach Braff's directorial debut,......
