Monday, 29 June 2015: Whole Foods Post Oak

Posted by mike | Meetings | Posted on June 29th, 2015

Join us today at the Post Oak Whole Foods, 1700 Post Oak Blvd at San Felipe.  Boasting the first in-house brewery of any Whole Foods, there are 20-28 beers on tap (whether their own, local (Texas forever!), or from far-flung places), and a Souvlaki grill.  Plus you can get some grocery shopping done too.  See you there at 8 PM.

Note that if the bar is busy, there is quite a bit of seating upstairs, so if you don’t find anybody you recognize downstairs, take the elevator in the back or the stairs in the front.

No storms, named or otherwise, on the horizon for Houston today, so meet up at 8 PM at Under the Volcano, 2349 Bissonnet Street at Morningside Drive. UtV is a great place for beers, cocktails, and frozen drinks, and has a jukebox with a diverse selection of actual CDs (remember those?). Meet up with us there at 8 PM.

Happy Birthday to the Department of Justice, created on this day in 1870.

Lots of weather coming our way in the next 72 hours.  Take tonight off and stay home.  Stay dry and stay safe.

Monday, 8 June 2015 : Liberty Station

Posted by john | Meetings | Posted on June 8th, 2015

Tonight at Liberty Station, 2101 Washington Ave.  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’re free to brown bag it as well).  See you there at 8 PM.

If you’re still reading.. on this day in 1949 George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty Four was first published. No thought crimes tonight just good times, raise a glass and remember Big Brother is watching and listening.

Monday, 1 June 2015: Sitting in a Woosters Garden Waiting for the Sun

Posted by mike | Meetings | Posted on June 1st, 2015

On this day in 1967, The Beatles released Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band to great acclaim and popularity.  A tour de force of contemporary technical production (four-track recording, ‘ping pong’ mixdowns, signal processing, analog sampling keyboards, etc.), it was also one of the first concept albums (though it owed a great debt to the Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds, released the year before).  It has been going in and out of style ever since.

Whether you’re a fan or not, what is guaranteed to raise a smile, is raising a glass tonight at Wooster’s Garden, 3315 Milam St in Midtown.  They’ve got a respectable tap list, inventive cocktails, and a food menu, should you find yourself hungry.  Parking is available in their lot.  See you there at 8 PM.
