Hot Bout in the City this Sunday, July 13th at the Verizon Wireless, come on out and see Houston's HaRD Knocks take on Austin's Texas Rollergirls Texicutioners (ranked #4 in the nation). Bout two is Stars v. Stripes featuring your favorite HRD skaters. The season is moving by faster than a jammer who's just picked herself up off the floor (have you seen how fast those ladies move? - we would pull a hammie to get out of the way, they are typically rather peeved too.), there are two more bouts after this one and the championship. Then, the only full contact sports left are football and hockey. This month, proceeds benefit Texas Equusearch - whose services we wish people never had to use, it would mean no inexplicably missing people. Halftime entertainment courtesy of Gulf Coast Sound and the afterparty is at Mezzanine.

Good morning, Houston. We thought that ding someone put in the door of our 1983 Diatribe in the Starbucks parking lot the other day was bad, but then we heard about the $150,000 Aston Martin damaged last week when a car went out of control and slammed into a southwest Houston car dealership. It happened when a pickup truck hit Leonard Ross' car while he was on the Southwest Freeway feeder road near Fountain...

Searchers from Texas EquuSearch believe they might have found the remains of a missing Pearland flight attendant Saturday buried at a San Antonio-area ranch. The remains, found in a shallow grave just off a roadway, were on property belonging to the grandfather of Terry Mangum, the man charged last week in connection with Cummings' death. A series of purchases on Mangum's credit card led EquuSearch to a gas station in Schulenburg, between Houston and the...

Good morning, Houston. Thanks to KHOU, we have a couple more details on the coming switch from Time Warner to Comcast cable — sort of. Next week, 20 new channels will come to the Houston cable market, including five HD channels — but Comcast isn't saying what they are (aside from ESPN HD and the NFL Network, which should appeal to you sports fans). Up to this point, the most visible result of the...

Good morning, Houston. It's Thursday — the last day of May — which means there's just a few more hours to enter the Houstonist photo exhibition. We're accepting entries until 11:59 p.m. tomorrow, so be sure to send your photos before then. As always, the details and entry form are at 600sqmi.com. Good luck! >> Aw, hail: We knew there was a chance of rain yesterday, but we didn't expect a long bout of...

Downtown is the place to be for Cinco de Mayo, everything's waiting for you! Commonly confused with Mexico's Independence Day - tomorrow is a celebration of General Seguin's victory over French occupational forces in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. There's the Bayou City Crawfish Festival (which benefitsTexas EquuSearch - and has a mechanical bull that Sissy can ride!), the 7th Annual Dragon Boat Festival, held at Allen's Landing (1000 Commerce) AND Mas...

Is it country? Is it Cajun? We think the answer is yes. Get your fill of mudbugs this weekend at the Second Annual Bayou City Crawfish Festival, happening right downtown at Hermann Square. Dance off your crawfish, etouffee, funnel cakes, bbq and fajitas with live Cajun, Zydeco and Texas Country Music. Try the mechanical bull, or if your stomach doesn't take spicy so well, the pony rides. Face painting, a kids zone, a rock...

Texas EquuSearch founder Tim Miller's daughter Laura was killed 22 years ago, one of four young women whose bodies were found in the so-called "Killing Fields" along I-45 near Calder Road in League City. None of the murder cases were ever solved, and it was Laura's killing that helped prompt Tim Miller to form Equusearch in 2000 (for the full story, read a profile of Miller and Equusearch from the Crime Library). So imagine Miller's...

In the two weeks that Astros first base coach Jose Cruz's son has been missing, people have started wondering whether Jose Javier Cruz was actually missing or just hiding. And it's starting to look like the younger Cruz may be hiding: According to the Chronicle, he has been arrested on charges of robbery, assaulting his wife and stealing from his dad. And he's wanted in Puerto Rico on charges of theft and forgery. In short,...
