Page 3 of 3

"I think we'll get in sometime tomorrow." -- a man upon seeing the line to get in Saturday morning, perhaps having a flashback to last year

"Guys think it's all sexy for girls to not wear underwear. Ladies, you gotta wear underwear. Otherwise that shit chafes, and then you get pus." -- Matt and Kim's Kim again

"She's got soul, man!" -- a guy at Mavis Staples. Yeah, bro... that's the point.

"She's telling people I've got herpes! I took her to Starbucks!" -- an indignant young lady on a frenemy

"I'm Annise Parker! Don't feed the homeless!" -- a heckler during Parker's introduction of Mavis Staples

"You can be as big of a music lover as me, you just have to put the time into it." -- a very earnest female to her non-music-loving boyfriend during Of Monsters and Men; she LOVED the song from the Discover Card commercial and left promptly afterward

"Married women need to wear rings so I don't waste my time talking to them." -- a true ladies' man

A conversation between to young women in which one pronounced it "Bassnectar" (like the frequency) and the other "Bassnectar" (like the fish), and neither corrected the other. I dayrdreamed that it was like the fish.

"We are The Bronx and we're from Los Angeles, California!" -- The lead singer of The Bronx; funny for obvious reasons


KEEP THE HOUSTON PRESS FREE... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we'd like to keep it that way. With local media under siege, it's more important than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" program, allowing us to keep offering readers access to our incisive coverage of local news, food and culture with no paywalls.
The Houston Press is a nationally award-winning, 34-year-old publication ruled by endless curiosity, a certain amount of irreverence, the desire to get to the truth and to point out the absurd as well as the glorious.
