Houston - Day Off
Thursday, August 18, 2005
Arrive in Houston at the Hotel Derek, very moderist interior. Cool! And free internet to boot. More biking around, check out Barnes and Noble, Starbuck's, etc. But, avoid the gigantic Galleria Mall. Buy the bus a Quesadilla Maker at Target.
End up going to the Houston Astros baseball game with Beau and Brian C. Get to see Roger Clemens pitch for the Astros, and he does well, with 6 strikeouts even though they lose.
After the game, Brian's friend Tom, who is driving us around, takes us to the Rhythm Room to see a friend of his play. As we pull up I notice the Sonnier Brothers are playing also, and I happen to know them!! What are the odds. Get in just as the Sonnier's are taking the stage and enjoy their set. Then it's Tom's friend Dan Dyer. Dan is great with a Gavin Degraw kinda vibe. Lots of soulful singing and a kick ass band. Back to the hotel late and off to bed.
