Official Houston thread that isn't on the Texas Board

Thank goodness

 

Just got home. Shoutout to waze

 

I got on a flight to San Diego at 6:30. Hope it actually goes. They just shut down the bar at the AmEx lounge. Mass chaos.

 

I’m good too. Currently at Komodo in midtown if anyone wants to join.

 

I’d still be stuck at work if I didn’t call in this morning. #blessed

 

Waze routed me straight into the worst part of Westheimer from the Shepard exit off 59. There weren’t any cops or anything yet so the only way I knew something was fucky was all the cars in front of me turning around.

 

How long ago was this? Because I live three minutes from there.

 

I thought I was hosed when it put me on Memorial and I saw people turning around but it took me off just in time. The people going out toward the Galleria weren’t so lucky

 

That’s literally where I work. They tried twice now for me to come in. I’m like how?

 

So far they’re saying this is the worst fresh water flood in American history and is a 1-1000 year flood. Just like Harvey was a 1-800 year flood. Two years apart. Not to mention the Labor Day or tax day floods.

 

Why do we live here

 

We like to party

 

Holy shit

 

Thank god I sold my house. Guaranteed my old garage is flooded again

 

If I try to leave the airport (my SD flight is delayed.....if it’s cancelled) would I be better off going toward the woodlands for hotel purposes or is going back toward City Centre/Memorial City ok at this point?

 

What time do you get in?

 

I live by the Galleria. It was fucked trying to get back here

 

I’m stuck at the airport. Sorry if that was unclear.

 

Around 12ish

 

The water has mostly receded. Judging by my maps there’s still some closures. You’re probably best not trying anything. Or waiting like two hours for a better result.

 

So right when they asked me to come to work the second time. Lol the fuck.

 

Yeah if I would have waited even an hour later there’s no way I would have been able to make it home

 

Nice. Glad you beat it.

 

You can always not

 

Nah

 

Full 4 hours in an Uber and now 8 hours in the airport. Boarded a plane and now we have to switch planes because that one is broken.

 

Fly safe

 

I stayed home today just because

 

team not going into work.

This is due to a hangover, not flooding.

 

I’m trying out my new air fryer. Got some spicy wings going. Lovely day.

 

Can you cite source? Would like to read.

 

I saw it on the KHOU website

 

Surf and turf

 

fucking astros.

my tickets that i split with a friend are $26k a year.

they charged me 8$k in august and i have another $8k pending right now and he has been charged $0.

also pretty cool that they collect 2/3 of the ticket cost for 2020 before the 2019 season is even over

 

I've added you to my prayer list

 

I hate when that happens lol

 

This is useful info for me.

 

Anyone going to see Caamp at White Oak on 10/9? Tex

 

Didn’t know they were coming to town. I’ll check it out.

 

I’m at High & Dry Rum Bar

 

Place is cool

 

I like it. Never been. Got the fishbowl and several other cocktails.

 

Now at Kanaloa

 

According to the Chronicle, he showed up at Rudyards' open mic night last night. A good friend's wife does some stand-up on the side and was planning on going last night but ended up having to cancel due to something coming up with work.

 

If you can get an Airbnb close to Montrose and Westheimer you can walk to about a dozen of the best restaurants you’ll ever visit.

Other than that nothing but downtown is really walkable here. It’s a driving city unfortunately.

 

Fuck. I live within walking distance of ruds. How much were/are tickets?
