G Love & Special Sauce & John Butler Trio @ The Joint

What I remember (in 2024)

Went on my own.

Specifically went to see John Butler Trio, and they were awesome.  Actually both bands complimented each other and came out with a great night.

Houston, TX

What I remember (in 2024)

Flew down to Houston on my own on 22 August, to spend a long weekend with Saffa and Gretchen, for his birthday again.

Quieter than last year's revelry.  On Saturday morning we drove an hour down to Galveston.  Saf and I checked it all out, while Gretchen was running a half marathon.  On Saturday night we dinner at Fogo de Chao with a group of Saffa's friends.  He did declare this his favorite restaurant in the world.  It was my first time at a Brazilian Steakhouse, and it was excellent.

On Sunday, Saf reluctantly took me to NASA.  I thought it was amazing and could have stayed all day.  SAffa, on his millionth visit to Houston's premier tourist spot, was no longer impressed.

On a side note, 19 days after I left Galveston was hit by Hurricane Ike and completely devastated the area.  I remember seeing photos and footage and not recognizing the town we'd been in 3 weeks prior.
