    Oooh, yeah, the Axiom! My husband played there with Necrotic Void! Numbers, hanging out at KPFT during Musical Curfew with Jay Lee, meeting Oingo Boingo in the parking lot at the Tower before Elfman became Danny Hollywood, the Island, dancing on the roof above the marquee at the River Oaks Theater staff party, going to Marfreless and not seeing a baby stroller....

    Since I did a double post by accident, let me preceed with a category that deserves its own space - Johnny Goudie & Panjandrum. I have a picture of me at a party with him hugging me and he's in a pair of very low-pulled boxers....(slaps self)

    The two Weingarten's from my childhood were the Bellaire location on Bissonnet (now a Randall's) and the Dunlavy/West Alabama one (now a Fiesta). We always bought Christmas trees at the Dunlavy one and I remember the wire-covered table warmed by light bulbs that housed dyed Easter chicks. My mom also got our cards for "Let's Go To The Races" there and Big Bonus stamps. My father (commercial interior designer) also had the pleasure of working with Joe Weingarten and said he was a true gentleman; very civic-minded and cognizant of what the people of Houston thought.

    If anyone goes to Yard House, ask for Fred. Took some clients there and thought "Oh great, a college kid" when we got him. Mea Culpa. Very attentive, delivered everything perfectly and warned me about my order to fit my vegetarian tastes.

    He died at home last night. Dan L. Duncan (January 2, 1933 – March 29, 2010.) He was the co-founder, chairman and majority shareholder of Enterprise Products. He lived in River Oaks at 2980 Lazy Lane.

    Oh, no - that first house has got to be 2615 Riverside. One of my sister's two best friends at Lamar in the 60's lived there. I remember the huge entrance hall. How sad.

    A lot of us could utter a general "Told ya so!" at this point, but there would be no satisfaction in it. I had fervently hoped that Weingarten Realty would surprise everyone. I have no idea what I must have been smoking when I thought that.

    According to my friend who is one of the Meridian's managers, Ecclesia had looked at renting some of the unused ground level space, but did not do so. The Meridian is not for sale; in fact, they now have the Sports Bar going 7 days a week and have plans to do a Celtic Jam night there, probably on Tuesdays.

    My sister has original Beatles & Rolling Stones programs/ticket stubs from the 60's concerts here and I think one for Chad & Jeremy, but she can't get jack for them on eBay.

    I was working for American General at the time and they let us park in the garages and watch from the roof. It was simulcast on some radio station that I think was on loudspeakers on the roof (KRBE?) and immediately afterwards they played "We Built This City". Took my carload about 30 minutes to get out and we went to Photon on Chimney Rock afterwards and played laser tag until 1 AM. This was after we had spent the day at Astroworld. Would that I had half the energy I did in my 20's. Oh, and for anyone who noted the earlier mention of the Reverend Huey, he can now be found at www.hellpopehuey.com at the Temple of the Misfired Neuron.

    And remember, a detached structure usually only carries 10% of the dwelling value on insurance for replacement - increase that limit. Also on flood insurance, any detached structure will need to be covered by a separate flood policy.* * Companies with deluxe offerings such as Chubb, AIG Private Client Group and Fireman's Fund usually offer more inclusive coverage, including Flood options - read thy policy!

    Listen to KUHF or watch Channel 8 during fund drives and you'll hear/see them. They do sponsor challenges and 1% kw usage on the monthly bill can be donated to one of a number of local charities. No problems with them so far (2 years), and they automatically credited our bill for 3 weeks after Ike without us having to pitch a fit.

    I'm locked in with Tara Energy for a year at 10.45, but that might just be a deal for renewing customers.
