This reminded me of when Carol Alvarado said Houston was “event-ed out” in 2006:
The Bayou City fell six spots to No. 13 on the 2008 list of “Most Eventful Cities,” a survey published by San Diego-based Eventful Inc. that ranks U.S. cities according to the number and diversity of local events for residents and visitors.

Though he could not cite specific reasons for why the city dropped from its seventh place ranking last year, Jordan Glazier, chief executive officer of Eventful, said Hurricane Ike’s appearance in September likely was the culprit, though other cities might also have beefed up their event roster.
“It’s actually impressive that Houston was able to stay at No. 13 instead of completely falling off of the list, considering you had a hurricane,” Glazier said.
It also says something about Houston, he said, that the city was able to remain in the Top 10 for categories such as best outdoor events (No. 5) and family events (No. 6).
