Monday, 28 February 2010: Post-Oscar drinks at the Hobbit Cafe

Posted by mike | Meetings | Posted on February 28th, 2011

Well, the Oscars are over and there are a few friends of Middle Earth who should be pretty happy right about now.  Celebrate (or not) and at least have a nice pint of brew and possibly something to nosh on at The Hobbit Cafe, 2243 Richmond Avenue. See you there around 8 PM.

Monday, 21 February 2011: Guitar Man cupcakes at the Petrol Station

Posted by mike | Meetings | Posted on February 21st, 2011

On this day in 1967, Elvis Presley began recording the soundtrack to the movie Clambake.  The first track on that album was a cover of Jerry Reed‘s “Guitar Man.” On this date in 1981, a remix of The King’s version of the song hit #43 on the UK charts;  Jerry Reed was 43 at the time.  Coincidence?  I think not.  It just gives you goosebumps, doesn’t it?

Tonight, we’ll be at The Petrol Station, at 985 Wakefield in pastoral Garden Oaks, at 8 PM.  With 35 craft beers on tap, there’s bound to be something to pair quite well to banana cupcakes with peanut butter cream cheese frosting.  The cupcakes are not really in honor of The King or the Snowman; they’re actually in honor of Sam McJunkin’s birthday last week.  He’s a good bit younger than Jerry Reed was in 1981, by the way!

Monday, 14 February 2011: The Ginger Man Pub

Join us tonight  and relax with a pint or two, 8 PM for another lovely evening at the The Ginger Man, 5607 Morningside.

Today’s evening temps should be in the mid 60’s near perfect weather mid-Feb in Houston weather.

Cheers!

Monday, 7 February 2011: Cold-Forged Beer at Anvil

Posted by mike | Meetings | Posted on February 7th, 2011

It’s not going to be as cold tonight as it was last Thursday night, but even I wouldn’t call it “warm.”  Stop by Anvil Bar and Refuge, 1424 Westheimer, at 8 PM, for a cold beer or cocktail anyway.  Park in one of their lots or watch out for No Parking zones.
