Are you oinking me?
The Kimday 2006 invites went out today. It's just a sketch, so be forewarned.
Also before I get a lot of flack for the Pig Stand thing: first of all, it's about time that we go. I want my Pig Stand experience; second, I want a picture with the pigs; third, just look what Out Smart has to say about it and then complain.
NEW! Pig Stand No. 7
2412 Washington Ave.
713/864-4041
Texas Pig Stands, Inc. is one of the oldest and most unusual restaurant chains in Texas. Located in the Old West End, Houston's Pig Stand No. 7 (there are eight across Texas, but only one remains in Houston) has served Houstonians since 1921. Pig Stands are famous for their chocolate shakes and Pig Sandwich Combo, a delicious barbecued pork sandwich served with french fries. Aurora, the Shirley MacLaine character in Larry McMurtrey novels, used to get cravings for a Pig Sandwich after an all-nighter; the Pig Stand on Washington even served as cover illustration for McMurtrey's Evening Star. Rivaling Baby Barnaby's on the weekend for gayest breakfast clientele, the Pig Stand's great diner breakfasts are served amid a charming "pig decor" by veteran battle-hardened waitresses who don't take any guff from anyone. A sign at the door reads "Arguing with a waitress is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you realize the pig enjoys it. $
