Time to get the word out.

I'm setting a Houston Fark Party for Sept. 25, 8 p.m. at the Velvet Melvin on Richmond.

Nothing fancy here. The Melvin is pretty much just a big room with a couple pool tables, dart boards, a jukebox and a bar. (Along with the standard accoutrement of tables and chairs and so forth). Basically, it's just a nice dive bar with reasonably priced beverages and substandard food that tastes better the more you drink.

So, let's all get together, drink some beer and get krunk!

I haven't been to the velvet melvin in a real long time but it definitely is the kind of place for a fark party. And the gingerbread man would be the other obvious fark party locale.

friend of mine got attacked outside velvet melvin in that weird parking lot they have there. If I am not mistaken there is a bottomless club across the street. At one time called the pink pussycat. Now it's called something else. Some pretty skanky shiat going on there.

I met that dude chet (bill paxton) at the velvet elvis (the original name) when they were filming that new terms of endearment movie in houston. So yeah velvet melvin velvet elvis cool story bro.

Son of a- !

The ONE conference I go to every year, and it's that weekend, in Atlanta! Sonofadammitsomuch!

But I'm still happy that at least we're having one. Thanks to those who are organizing it. And if it works out OK, there could be others to follow (some of which, I might finally be able to attend).

Have a good time, everyone!

Why not choose a venue with a proper juke box such as Cecil's? Best juke box ever, close runner up: Lola's. Plus, lola's is indisputably the cheapest drinks in town.

Velvet Melvin? Last time I was there it was a bunch of frat boys. :/

Bonus at 12:30: "Hey, lets all walk across the street to the Diamond Club."

thistime: If I am not mistaken there is a bottomless club across the street. At one time called the pink pussycat. Now it's called something else. Some pretty skanky shiat going on there.

Its the Diamond club now, I have a friend that lives across the street from it in the Camden apartments. I don't know if its true or not but there was (or is) a stripper with only one leg there

This might be the first reason I know of to go from Austin to Houston
 
2010-09-04 01:29:48 PM
I should be able to be there.

FARK is about beer. The Petrol Station would make a WAAAAY better choice.

Dang. I'm gonna be back in Houston the weekend of Oct. 10.

Hell, maybe y'all will still be partying.

Maybe I'll just go lurk in the bushes at DesertZephyr's place instead ...

Unmitigated Mitigation: I don't know if its true or not but there was (or is) a stripper with only one leg there

This is relevant to my interests.

Yes!

I'm not exactly a huge participant here on Fark, but I could probably show up and pretend to be part of the cool kids for a few hours.

I travel to Houston a lot now. I may be in town that week. I may stop in.

Of course I'm staying in Clear Lake 25 miles away, so I'll have to sleep in the back of my truck at the end of the night.

I'm in Clear Lake, too. Not much of a drinker, so the drive home hopefully won't be an issue.

Shostie: Click the link.

Hey,

Even if you are not interested in changing the venue, if you like craft beer head over to the petrol station, if you haven't already.

Oh and get a burger, Rancor, Mickey Rancor or Mary's Lamburger are the best.
 
2010-09-04 07:51:53 PM
I gotta work that night or id drive from SA to be there

You suffer from extreme anorexia and have a highly swollen head? Are you allergic to the rice cakes?

The Stag's Head would have been better... but I might make it.

Sounds like fun. I might pop in.
