Day for Night Festival

Be careful walking around downtown, especially at night, it has a lot of homeless shelters and the jail is there, so there can be unsavory characters about. I would use Uber to get around, or public transit. Some cab drivers aren't the best.

True, but I've been here at night, and it really depends on what part of downtown - I don't recall the area by the post office too well, but of course err on the side of caution.

I'm grinning like a Cheshire Cat right now - I'll say why later

As for "things to do in Houston", if you are at all interested in great Texas BBQ, look no further than Goode Company BBQ, which has two locations: http://www.goodecompany.com/bbq.asp - both are somewhat close to downtown (15-20 minute car ride), and since this will be December, you might consider the Katy Freeway location as it has ample indoor seating, whereas the Kirby location is outside mostly seating.

Downtown is really not known for great dining spots, but the surrounding areas like The Heights has some nice places. I'll see if I can think of more stuff that might be of interest to WATMMers.

Sadly, there really isn't a great record shop in Houston - the last place I used to go was Soundwaves, which is in the Montrose area near downtown, but I haven't been there in probably close to 10 years. That was where I used to get my music before the internet came along and made it too damn easy to order stuff

yeah. hard to know. i mean there are definitely places you don't want to be in atlanta at nite but you'll also hear suburbanites talking shit about how they wouldn't be caught dead in atlantic station or midtown after dark and it's just like

I really hope squarepusher does his ufabulum style performance with the synched headset and screen etc.

Yeah it's worth staying (relatively) sober for and watching. I'm pretty hard to please when it comes to live music, but the Squarepusher experience is well worth your time. In my most humblest of opinions.

i saw this set at moogfest and found it borderline abusive. the excessively loud highs accompanied by what was basically an hour long super bright strobe light in your face was so exhaustive i almost left before he played journey to reedham (note that i actually liked the album a good deal). i would much much rather see last year's shobaleader set again. i dipped before his damogen set so i guess i could tolerate seeing that live as well even though i didn't care that much for the album.

squarepusher live is a little bit.... preposterous these days really

go all the way there and he sticks a mic in a blender. no thanks

that's good I like being abused. 

seriously though you can just bring sunglasses to wear if you think it's going to be too bright.

I should make a list of 'places to go and see' in Houston, eh?

 

Please. You know, I lived in College Station for two years (where I did my master's) and I only visited Houston twice. It was a while ago, and I've moved around a lot since then. I would appreciate the tips. I recall that it was one of the more decent and not quintessentially Texan places I visited in Texas (next to Austin, of course). 

is there a minimum number of guns you're required to carry in texas?

Bought my ticket this morning. See you there!

The lineup is insane, too bad the crowd will be 20 something EDM twats, mostly. And no one shares their weed at Houston shows. Lame-o's

i mean this post is fucking hilarious honestly

Got my ticket! \o/

 There's a maximum of none if you haven't got a license.

Sorry haven't read whole thing yet. So we're all buting the cheap tix and having WATMM meet Fri night right?

ooh nice lineup, hope this is one of those festivals streamed live in hd on youtube or twitch.

AFX is headlining. Will more than likely be Sunday night.

Got tickets (early xmas gift) and babysitters arranged...my in-laws are awesome.
