jc281 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Sometimes I think I know Houston, then other times, like now, I just have no clue. Supposed to take out friends from out of town tonight... They will give no indication or preference for activities/food. none. "down for whatever" uh huh. I've been caught up in work and can't think straight. So I have no idea, and HATE driving around aimlessly.... any ideas guys? just to get my brain stirring? we're early 20's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vertigo58 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 we're early 20's Good thing you indicated the age group, thats what matters. It always seems like Midtown is the place for the 20-30ish crowd. (Majority any way) It all depends on music preference, likes, dislikes. Thats what I miss about LA they always had that LA Weekly free paper that was just great about mention of weekend stuff to do. Good luck! What the heck just fly over to LA for the weekend! http://www.laweekly.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJones Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Yeah I wish Houston had a "what's going on this weekend" website like NYC, Chicago, DC, etc. have.Ummmm, we DO have something like a "what's going on around Houston?" thing. I believe it is on Click2Houston.com. Lemme go look.Here ya go.http://www.click2houston.com/download/2008/0603/16475876.pdfThis may be a little better though.http://www.houstonpress.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricco67 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Just pick up a copy of Envy or 002. The Free press website is not that great, you're better off picking up a copy and see what is playing inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJones Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 And does it involve Dollar bills and G-strings? Ricco was just making sure he didn't need to wash HIS G-string. Hmmmm, "the kind you tell stories about...." Well, you could always do a late night at the Pink Monkey ? Go cruise down Richmond at 2am and take a chance at getting shot ? Have some drinks at a local watering hole, and you may get a glimpse at celebdom. Apparently Sean Penn and Brad Pitt are shooting or scouting a movie here.

ricco67 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Ricco was just making sure he didn't need to wash HIS G-string. I don't use no stinkin' G-string, I got a speedo! I'd recommend Rich's for after hours, if you want higher end, hit Drake, or for HIGHER end, hit ZaZa's bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmariar Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 More Montrose-oriented suggestions, staying on the inexpensive side:(1) Dinner: Cafe Montrose (or, if you want to do local food, maybe La Mexicana)(2) Bar: Poison Girl or Boondocks or Etro or Catbird's(3) Club: Numbers (around midnight) or South BeachOr some combination thereof. All generally within walking distance of each other. But these aren't Drake or Zaza kind of places - agreed midtown or downtown would be better for that scene.

tmariar Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 i'll research the montrose placesTo save you a bit of time on researching the clubs, Numbers will be a mix of young alternative kids and some older 20's-younger 30's remembering their days as young alternakids. Dance music, dancefloor, cheap drinks. South Beach is primarily a gay dance club, but gets its share of straight people who like the dancing and atmosphere. Both make for some entertaining people-watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20thStDad Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 The stories we still tell have more to do with the amount of alcohol consumed before/during and less to do with where we were. My advice is to pre-drink and cab it, and hit midtown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
