St. Arnold's brewery, home of awesome beer and awesome staff is now open for tours! Admission to the new brewery is $7 and you get four samples and a "souvie" glass. Doors and taps will open at 10:00 a.m. and the tour will close at 3:30 p.m. Although the space in the new brewery is larger, there are some capacity constraints (just like everywhere, for safety and such) and therefore, if they are at capacity when you arrive, queue up and as space opens, you'll be allowed in. Please be courteous and enjoy the tour and the delicious beer and let someone else do the same. The last group to go in will enter between 1:30 p.m. and 2:00 p.m., but ya can't stay past 3:30 p.m.

Houstonist plunked down some cash for a general admission ticket to see Kings of Leon Tuesday night in Houston. We braved event security, throngs of people and downtown parking to bring you these photos from last night's show!
We’ve got a busy week on the concert front. Our favorite duo from New York arrives at The Meridian tomorrow night. They Might Be Giants have been making quirky alt/pop songs for grown-ups over 20 years now, and a few albums for the kids that us grown-ups enjoy, too. Wilco’s Friday night show at Verizon Wireless Theater is sold out, but if you’re willing to pay a little, you can still get your hands on some tickets (believe us, it’s worth it). Finally, a great double-bill Monday night with Yo La Tengo opening for My Morning Jacket, also at Verizon. We're in concert heaven!
If you missed out on the Beer Can Opener last Friday (because you were embroiled in the LRPC - any other excuse will not be accepted, unless accompanied by a note from your Dr.), you have a second chance to attend a special event. Join Mayor Bill White as he honors and officially opens the Beer Can House to the public, along with the Orange Show Center for Visionary Art. This Thursday, March 6th at 10 a.m. brings the official ceremony to open the Beer Can House to the public for the first time. Previously, we could only drive by and peep at this legendary home. After all, who can resist sneaking a peek at a home that has been adorned with over 50,000 beer cans, along with marbles, tiles, concrete, pull tabs and bottle tops. Now, there's no more sneaking around, you can drop by any Saturday or Sunday, beginning March 8th, from noon until 5 p.m. and have an up close "look-see". Or, you can make a special appointment, either way, there will be guides on hand to answer your questions and even give you a tour. If you're nice, you may even get a cold beer, after all, this house is an homage to all beers, particularly those that were "on special" between 1968 and 1988, when upholsterer, artist and beer lover, John Milkovisch passed away.
Tomorrow night, several 90's R&B hit-makers emerge on Reliant Arena for the Ladies Night Out Tour (this has been a popular theme this week). One of those is Bell Biv DeVoe. Bell Biv Devoe (also known as BBD, not to et confused with other 90's bands like NKOTB) arose from the ashes of New Edition. While Bobby Brown and Ralph Tresvant went solo, the other three members decided to form this group, which had a very successful run ... at least for a year.

::Live Downtown Kick-off Party:: Before you have to battle the Spoon vs. Girl Talk decision tonight, stop by an event that doesn't require you to choose between your two favorite children.

This weekend (Oct. 27 and 28) stop ogling your neighbor’s house from afar -- get in there and indulge your high design fantasies (legally of course). For one weekend every year the AIA allows even the unlikely likes of you a first-hand experience in top-notch architecture. We won’t even mention what it would actually cost to own these gems, but at $25.00 a ticket the fantasy seems like a pretty good deal. This year’s...
Attention Lance Lovers! Texas' most famous cancer survivor will be visiting Houston tomorrow to lobby in support of Proposition 15. You can click here to read it in its entirety, but it's not any kind of Engrish that we recognize. The short story is that Prop 15, if passed, would result in a constitutional ammendment allowing for obligation bonds to raise money and establishing the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas. Lance explained...

Londonist are starting to think their city is getting just a little bit too expensive, when even Christian Slater can't afford to go out there. And there's no escaping, as local singer Lily Allen discovered when she was barred entry to the US. The British mapping agency caused further bad karma, by blocking a 3-D representation of London in Google Earth. But the smiles returned to Londonist's faces as they interviewed Baroness von Reichardt,...
Behind the Scenes Tour at HMNS If the only thing dinosaur bones make you think of is Ross & Rachel's first, um, romp, then maybe you (like us) should look into one of the Museum of Natural Science's Behind the Scenes Tour.

A couple of concerts original scheduled this week were either canceled or postponed. The "Smooth Groove Tour," featuring Cameo, Morris Day and others has been postponed. If you have tickets, check the Reliant Arena website soon for the new date. If you had tickets to see American Idol Taylor Hicks, you can get a refund, but you won't get a chance to see the premature gray-haired Idol. His show was canceled due to bad...
We really wish Gomez was performing a headlining show here, but we have to settle with them just being an opening act for The Fray (along with Eisley) this Friday night in The Woodlands. However, Gomez is playing a stand-alone show Saturday night in Austin, if you're lucky enough to find tickets for it. Some veteran Houston acts play around town this week. Beaumont's Clay Walker will perform after the races at Sam Houston...
LAist was comped front row seats by the Dodgers due to Malingering being struck by a foul ball last week, and she came back with some great photos, and earlier made fun of 4th of July on Venice Beach. But the biggest stories of the week was that the Mayor's Hot Tamale was revealed, and that a Kwik-E-Mart was erected in Burbank. Phillyist was busy doing the Fourth of July up right, exercising their...

Today’s Photo of the Day comes from flickr user and Houstonist photo contributor frankienose who gives us this hockneyesque image of the bar area at Bitterman's Market Square Bar & Grill. This would be a great place to visit before or after the GHPA Walking Tour of Market Square this Sunday.

Every Thursday since May 3rd, elegant Htowners have been gathering for wine and wandering at the Rienzi Center for European Decorative Arts. Sadly, these Thursday Twilight Tours are coming to an...

You may remember that last month our fair neighbor Galveston was in the news because of the perceived need to hire a marketing firm to revamp the city's image. North Star Destination Strategies out of Nashville, Tennessee was hired to try and persuade a few more folks to head south to the island. After conducting a few surveys and finding out that most thought of Galveston beaches as dirty, stinky cesspools of sorts, North Star...
George Mendes reached the Pacific Ocean yesterday near San Diego after covering over 3,400 miles in 61 days and raising nearly $25,000 for the Lance Armstrong Foundation in the process.
