With a career-spanning set from a punked-up "Borderline" to the outsize mega-disco of her latest album Hard Candy, the Material Girl brought several people at Minute Maid Park to tears last night in her first Houston show in 18 years.

November 17, 2008Aftermath: Madonna at Minute Maid Park
Photos by Daniel Kramer “Did you cry?” Aftermath asked a new friend during the mass exodus from Minute Maid Park after Madonna’s first Houston show since she opened 1990’s Blonde Ambition tour at the Summit. “Yes,” she said, and from what Aftermath could gather from an informal straw poll, she was far from the only one. Madonna’s memory may be faulty – “I’ve never played Houston before,” she said at one point – but that’s about it. Now 50, the pop icon thrilled th

Cheech & Chong/Willie Nelson, Verizon Wireless Theater/House of Blues, October 31: "This morning Aftermath thought his notes had vanished entirely before realizing he had simply mistook the back cover of his notebook for the front. Halloween 2008 was high times indeed." Randy Weeks, Discovery Green, November 6: "New songs like 'Fine Way To Treat Me,' 'Hard To Believe' [and] 'Just A Little Bit of Sleep" all melded perfectly with Weeks' previous material and a funky cover of 'Down Home Gir

Photo by Bukowsky18 The Houston Astros are asking for our suggestions for the top moments in the history of Enron Field Minute Maid Park as part of the stadium's tenth season. You know me. I love to give my opinions about the Astros. So here are my Top 10 Moments in the History of Enron Field Minute Maid Park. 10.

March 25, 2009Like It Or Not, The Astros Season Begins
Later today, at Minute Maid Park -- a facility that is one-third of the way towards obsolete at 30 years old -- the Astros begin their new season.We have not noticed any tidal wave of demand for them to do so, but it seems they are contractually obligated.It's hard to remember a recent pre-season that offered less in the way of excitement. Look at Spring Training -- the team at one point was something like 3-18 (we're too depressed to look it up) and manager Cecil Cooper was furiously thundering

February 26, 2009Nachos at the Juice Box
While some fuss has been made over the new food at Minute Maid Park this year -- Aramark is now offering items such as "healthy" salads, fish tacos, various vegetarian items and a rather unappealing-sounding "tumbled Texas chicken" -- it's the classics that people will continue to turn to at ball games: hot dogs, crappy beer and nachos. Today finds us gazing longingly into the oozing jumble of nachos seen below, a submission to the Houston Press Flickr Pool. Each Monday, we'

September 26, 2002Texans Almost As Bad At Hitting Home Runs As Astros, Charity Event Reveals
Videos and photo by Craig HlavatyThe guys who get paid to do it aren't exactly tearing the cover off the ball -- the Astros currently rank 24th in the majors in home runs. So it's nice to see some fresh meat in the oddly-shaped confines of Minute Maid Park, even if it does only benefit charity and doesn't count in the more important world of actual sports. The Reliant Energy Fourth Annual Home Run Derby featured 10 Texans players swinging to benefit Boys & Girls Clubs of Great Houston. Rel
May 21, 2009Seeing The Astros Without Getting Drunk? Umpossible! But Now, Possible
Photo by Michael (mx5tx)Hey Astros fans. Are you tired of the exorbitant prices you have to pay for booze at Astros games? Well, I've got good news. And I've got bad news.The good news is that the prices might be getting a lot damn cheaper real soon. The bad news is that the reason is that alcohol might no longer be served in the stadium. Oh, it's not because Drayton McLane is going all Christian and declaring alcohol to be one of the world's great sins, so he's now refusing to sell it. Th
June 12, 2009Despite What ESPN Says, Here Are 25 Things To (Sorta) Like About Minute Maid Park
Photo by astromark2007ESPN doesn't think much of the fan experience in Houston, especially for the Astros fans, which ESPN ranks at number 68. This ranking is based on things like ownership, coaching, players, bang for the buck, fan relations, stadium experience, affordability, and something called title tracks -- that deals with the number of titles the team has won or can be expected to win. And I can see where ESPN is coming from with this list and with its ranking, but I think there are a fe
July 3, 2009Hey Old Man, Show Me Some ID If You Want A Beer
Photo by longhorndaveSo we got out to Minute Maid Park this weekend to watch the Mets kick the crap out of the Astros. We learned Hunter Pence is angling to wear the crown vacated by Jeff Bagwell for providing Least Useful Home Runs, with a shot to make it 10-3 in in the ninth.We also learned we are apparently a whole lot younger-looking than we thought.As we walked in, we naturally gravitated toward the concession stand for a beer. The young man pouring asked us for an ID.Which was pla
