Monday, 28 April 2014: Mongoose vs Cobra vs The Law of Gravity

Posted by mike | Meetings | Posted on April 28th, 2014

On this day in 2001, former JPL engineer (and 20-million-less millionaire investor) Dennis Tito became the first person to fly to space on his own nickel.  Celebrate missions of personal discovery tonight at MvsC, 1011 McGowan, at 8:00 PM tonight for a pint or a mixed drink. Note that the parking situation in midtown is ever-evolving, so consult the handy-dandy, superific, MvsC-specific parking guide before you head that direction.

Monday, 21 April 2014: Beers for Independence at Cottonwood

Posted by mike | Meetings | Posted on April 21st, 2014

On this day in 1836, the Texan Army routed Santa Anna’s forces at San Jacinto, effectively winning the war for Texas independence from Mexico.  “Remember the Alamo!” and “Remember La Bahia” or “Remember Goliad” were the battle cries.  If you haven’t visited the San Jacinto Monument in the however-many years you’ve lived in Houston, we highly recommend a field trip.

Celebrate Texas’ independence with us tonight at  Cottonwood Bar, 3422 N Shepherd Dr, at 8 PM.  Have a pint or a mixed drink and possibly enjoy a snack from the menu.  Lone Pint’s Yellow Rose seems particularly appropriate.

Monday, 14 April, 2014: Taxing Drinks at The Ginger Man

Posted by mike | Meetings | Posted on April 14th, 2014

Take a break from those last-minute tax filings and join us tonight for a pint at The Ginger Man, 5607 Morningside, at 8:00 PM CDT.  Just don’t think that you’re getting away from the tax man: according to one source, taxes represent about 40% of the cost of the commercial beer you drink.

Monday, 7 April 2014: Lady Day Birthday Drinks at Liberty Station

Posted by mike | Meetings | Posted on April 7th, 2014

Join us at Liberty Station, 2101 Washington Ave, at 8 PM tonight.  The tap list has great variety for its size, they have a bar full of certifiably-inspired mixed drinks, and if you’re hungry, there’s probably a food truck outside (you are free to brown bag it as well). Oh, there’s some sports thing happening, so there may be a few more people around than is usual for a Monday night. And as always, be mindful of any parking signs, as the situation can change quickly along Washington Avenue.  Particularly, the lot directly to the west of Liberty Station is apparently off limits. Don’t get towed!

On this day in 1915, Billie Holiday was born Eleanora Fagan in Philadelphia, PA.
