i am fairly new to this site, but have taken a little time to look around and feel out the forums. Aside from the the normal dude looking for a quick hookup, the haters just lookin to hate and the threadkillers i have found some insightful opinions on here.

I am here to make friends and hopefully some activity partners. I have learned in the past that the quick hookup is not what i am looking for. To Fight off any impending loneliness with a big fat "ello to anyone looking for the same.

I am on the Westside but work in the Gallaria so not much is out of my way.

Lets keep a HOUSTON THREAD ACTIVE as a way to spread the word on whats "poppin off" in this town. There is ALWAYS something.

I hit up the Pink Floyd concert last month and it was one of the better concerts i have attended, great show, and i don't even consider myself a huge fan or anything, it was just a great show.

Tomorrow is the thanksgiving parade. Now as most peeps are spending it with family, I know about and will be attending the parade/firworks party in the gallaria. I'm hitting the Hilton to party and watch the show from rooftop level and i am told that its a azzzzkickin firework display. i am a transplanted houstonian going on 3 years now so i am still learning everything this city has to offer.

SO HUSTONIANS whats happening!!!

Not much going on here. About to head out to Northeast Houston in a lil bit and pick up a turkey and ham and all the fixings.

Happy Thanksgiving to ya!

You can erase one of those lol

thanks for the reply, i'll be updating this thread from time to time, good luck on your turkey trip.

I doon't know much about the Eastside of town, buisness and pleasure have really kept me central and on the wetside.

Whats up with an amusment park, there used to beone here right?

Astroworld...yea..they closed it down. Not enough business.

that sucks, i enjoy a good rolleroaster... whats the next closest park?

prob Fiesta Texas in San Antonio

Thank goodness for this thread, I was beginning to think this site was useless for people who lived in Houston. I have no idea who still gets on this site or not when looking at profiles.

* nothing much going on, on the NW side of Houston, but the Bars are packed!

i agree,there is not much activity on this site in regardes to houston peeps.

i'll come back to this thread daily to post stuff, hopefully it will snowball and more people, will contribute.

North side of Houston saying hello!!

what bars dustin?

the fireworks/parade was a good show, seeing it from the 10th floor of the Hilton was something else as well. After the show and a good 45 minutes to let the crowd filter out we headed to the Bars/Clubs (apparently midtown and downtown) and here is my advice, if you have to go out on thanksgiving night, don't waste your time until after midnight. We must have hit about 5 clubs before we found a crowd more than 5 peeps, and we were the ONLY people other than the staff at the 1 place.
Anyway around 1:30- 2 there were a few places and the crowds were getting thicker.

(Personal note) This was my first real effort to hit the clubs since my marriage ending and in hindsight, i can say without any doubt that the clubs are no longer for me. I get more kick out of watching people work the games (pick up attempts, shoot downs whatever) than i get out of actually participating in the action.

I now know that i prefer a good bar with good drinks, and interesting conversation with an person that i find appealing, over a club that i would have to YELL just to say hello, its not my style.

So we hit the Clubs, did our thing, and made it home safe.

I get a kick out of houston man.

Ya'll need to check out St Arnold's on Saturday.

or

Flying Saucer on any other day of the week.

as for the smaller, less popular bars that are A+ in my books.. The Mucky Duck, Velvet Melvin, and The Ginger Man.

Can any of you women handle a good IPA?

what is an IPA (<------- slightly out of the loop)

India Pale Ale?

I like Houston, if I didn't have to go through all that gawdawful traffic to get there

every wednesday night Agora has belly dancers. they usually start around 10:30.

Right on the money there kid-who-shot-his-eye-out. I'm always on a never ending quest to find the best IPA or barley wine. Beers with an unusual amount of hoppiness, skunkness, and sort of taste like dirty, wet socks... the best!

lolas in the montrose area, its a total hole in the wall but great. poison girl on westheimer near dunlavy is quite cool too.

Where are these belly dancers again? is it at the hole in the wall place you listed above?

and i am definetely up for a coll laid back place to drink with some interesting people who don;t have there walls up.

ok i found it... Agoras has belly dancers?
