Ten years ago this month, a few of us threw open the doors to this little blog about Houston-area politics and media.
Contributors have changed, and we’ve had active periods and slow periods, but we’ve tried over time to provide a well-considered, edited(!), alternative perspective on the goings-on in Houston.
Aside from the sorts of spammers/hackers/trolls who can make the technical challenges of maintaining such a site a real pain (and time sink), we’ve had a great time with it, and have met many nice people we now call friends. I’d like to think we’ve also irritated a bad politician/journalist or three.
Despite life-outside-blogging being extremely busy right now, we thought we ought to have one of our old-style beer gatherings, because, well, ten years is a good reason to tilt a beer with friends. If you’re free and care to join us, here are the details:

Thanks, as always, for reading!
Here’s wishing you another 10 years. Congratulations Kevin Whited, Neal Meyer, Cory Crow et al. If you hear from Anne Linehan, say hi.
Happy tenth! I’d come by for old times sake, but I’m going to be in Austin that weekend.
It was great seeing everyone!
