Any suggestions for music. Pubs in Paris. I like anything live aside from melancholy New England folk.

When Australians say "we don't need no education," there's an extra militancy about it.

I'm there for the first week of May. I would like to see some Boogie Woogie.

I'm going to Houston in May for my cousin's daughter's bat mitzvah and Bowling Green, KY for another cousin's wedding. JEALOUS?

(The in-laws are taking us on a Caribbean cruise in December, so I shouldn't complain).

Houston is one of the worst places I've ever been. Definitely the worst big city I've ever been.

Isn't Houston statistically America's fattest city? I seem to recall them claiming that title awhile back.

It certainly was at some point I recall reading the same thing.

As for 101s comment well yes I have been to worse places those have usually been places ravaged by war, corruption and other terrible things. Houston is not such a place yet is still horrible.

Houston is awful. Just awful. No zoning, McMansions everywhere, traffic nightmares, etc. I agree that it is the worst big city I have been to.

Guess who's been rewarded with a trip to Houston, the fates must hate me.

Plus you're to attend a Pet Shop Boys show with a make-or-break client.

I'll actually be meeting two clients but one of them thinks I'm a Frenchman so I'll be running back and forth between tables switching disguises. Ultimately some crazy redneck Texan will actually kill me because he really does think I'm a freedom hating Frenchman.

The good news is you won't be expected to shower beforehand.

A truck stop in Waco after dark featuring a Subway attached to a Wendy's...the literal only non-fried food on the entire drive down I-35 from Ft. Worth to San Antonio...is officially the scariest place on earth I've ever visited.

I heard Eagles of Death Metal killed there, once.

I looked at the Bataclan line up. Nothing too interesting.

I've been in Paris for 36 hours and have already had to thwart a pick pocket attempt.

A worthwhile phrase to know: foutre le camp (fuck off).

My daughter went there in high school and said pick pocketers/purse and backpack snatchers were rampant.
