Relax, Metros

Funny: I reread "Chipinque Cuisine" [by Robb Walsh, November 30] because of all the bitchy letters. Nothing changed, it was funny and 95 percent complimentary. Those West Houston metrosexuals are sure a tense lot.

Precious Jadewood

Fan mail: The article about Jadewood ["One Fan at a Time," by Olivia Flores Alvarez, December 7] was amazing. I am a huge fan of Jadewood, and I'm one of the many that try to go to their gigs. I am very thankful that y'all got to interview them and let everyone else know about them.

Child's Play

He's a machine: Great article ["Tough Guys," by Dan Kramer, November 9]. I had the opportunity to play both football and baseball in the mid-'60s for the Spring Branch Memorial Sports Association. They turned us into lean, mean, fightin' machines. Some of us went on to become professional players. The article brought back many fond memories.

Houston HouStoned Blog Comment of the Week On "Yo, That's Cold, Yao," by Steven Devadanam

"Man, Yao and T-Mac, 'Alright, alright, alright' McConaughey and Hall & Oates? Jesus man, I'd like to grab drinks with all of them at once after the show. We can only hope that Hall & Oates will get the rest of them to join in on 'Maneater' or maybe some 'Private Eyes'?" Comment by Preston Dansfield III, December 20, 2006
