What a weekend. That third day makes all the difference.
Anyone else check out the downtown fireworks? We wound up watching them in White Oak Park, surrounded by Spanish-speaking families. Viva America!
The Geto Boys at Warehouse Live
Scarface, Willie D and Bushwick Bill couldn't be stopped on Friday night. Don't skip this slideshow, which features some of Bushwick's smooth moves.

Willie and friends (and Trigger too) came to the horse track on Saturday night. We trailed the outlaws and gathered evidence.

Keep the Houston Press Free... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Houston with no paywalls.
