3rd Annual Rory Miggins Memorial Irish Stew Cook-Off

Houston should have a nice, partly sunny day tomorrow. Mother Nature's timing could not be any better, as it clears up for the 3rd Annual Rory Miggins Memorial Irish Stew Cook-off, located this year at the Continental Club. The festivities will commence at 3700 Main Street at high noon straight up 1:00 p.m., with entertainment both inside and outside until 6:00 p.m. Admission to this fine event, for a finer cause, is only $10 and includes live music, Irish dancing, great food, a Guinness Beer Relay and more (like raffles, which means prizes). Not only is the admission a bargain, this is a wonderful afternoon activity, well, gaggle of activities, conveniently located. Your price of admission helps fund the St. Patrick's Day Parade and honors a great local Irish-American, Rory Miggins.

Official Entertainment Schedule:

OUTSIDE Stage

Noon Godfreys Rangers
1 PM The Leo Trio
2 PM The Mighty ORQ
3 PM The Blaggards
4 PM Guinness Drinking Team Relay w Lars
5 PM Announce Winners
5:30PM The Blaggards

INSIDE Stage

12:30 McTeggert Dancers
1:30 KiKi and Third Ear
2:30 Constant Billy
3:30 Cass Academy Irish Dance


We had thought about giving you some information about Rory Miggins, and his contributions to our great city. In searching for details (our memory is sometimes, well, lacking), we found John Nova Lomax, of the HoustonPress, and a great memorial, with local personalities and musicians remembrances. We really cannot do better, ourselves. HERE it is.

Come out, enjoy the weather, music, dancing, food and drink. Other than watching that football thing on Sunday evening (WHO DAT!), this is THE go-to event of the weekend. Hoist a pint for Rory, and make plans to attend this years St. Patrick's Day Parade!

Rock Talk, Vol. XVIII

Houstonist got waylaid by car troubles this week [you would not believe how hard it is to find a pair of 15" 20-spoke alloy wheels for a '92 Volvo in this town], but we've been cribbing notes the whole time. Rock Talk might be a day late, but it is definitely not a bit short. Here's your weekly update on the Houston scene. more ›

Ol' Houstonian's Music Emporium, Vol. I

Ol' Houstonian's Music Emporium, Vol. I

We often speak of the immense amount of music that occurs in this town, and the depth of our local talent. Allow us to introduce our newest feature covering the local music scene, Ol' Houstonian's Music Emporium. Come one, come all, and let us share with you some local music that we came across in the past week! Note: This new feature is an attempt to expose local music of which we either weren't aware or hadn't listened to yet, accompanied by a few remarks about said artist. It is by no means an attempt at a comprehensive listing of local acts. more ›

H-Town Rock

For the week of February 1st - 3rd, 2010 Well, the old concert calendar is a bit light for the next few days, and Houstonist is just thankful that our pickings will be a bit easier for a few nights. We were getting a tad overwhelmed after all the shows this week. Hah! As if that were ever true. more ›

    ATTN: Houston Bands, Get Out Of Town!

    ATTN: Houston Bands, Get Out Of Town!

    We mean that in a very loving way, trust us. The simple fact is that most Houston bands do not tour frequently, if at all. There is an overabundance of good music in this town [several of our favorite acts are playing this weekend, even], and we will do our best to avidly promote the local talent. While the internet is fairly amazing and absurd, the world is not going to discover just how great our music scene is if the bands in town don't hit the pavement and play some other cities and get people talking. more ›
