THE BLVD: Houston's City Guide
A Houston City Guide
ANTICHRIST If you happen to be afraid and somewhat churchy about Halloween and scary movies, you may not want to watch this preview. I’m warning you. My boy, Will Dafoe (I mentioned him in the previous post) stars in this sick yet genius film and I can’t tell if he’s the Antichrist. Imagine that! This [...]
There will never be another Woodstock. Never ever. We’ve seen the iconic images of flower kidz, zonked out from the overindulgence of sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll. Since 1969, festivals like Lalapalooza, Coachella, and Texas’s own Austin City Limits have been heavy contenders in re-creating that cultural experience which made Woodstock such a pivotal [...]
Halloween is approaching and instead of spending money on a costume, try spending money on a good scare. While guys do enjoy watching women walk around scantily clad, and ladies look forward to getting some cuddle action during a scary movie, nothing can compete than getting that adrenaline pumping. It’s a great way to see [...]
THE CONCERT A full audience crowded the stage and many more concertgoers were pouring into the venue. The opening act of the performance seemed to be all private school graduates turned derelicts of the privileged. River Oaks and Rice Village kids I assume. As The Blvd team stood near the entrance of [...]

This upscale modern lounge has a sexy scene along with a pool area decked out with cozy cabanas draped with white linen. Enjoy sipping [...]
Earlier this month, two of the biggest touring bands, Pearl Jam and Dave Matthews Band, headlined the Austin City Limits Music Festival, which could only mean one thing: the 90s are coming. Think about it; in the early-mid 90s, we celebrated the 60s and 70s. Spike Lee’s Crooklyn and Forrest Gump come to mind. And [...]
The 2009 Hennessy Artistry Tour, curated by The Roots and Common, stormed through The Corinthian with a blitzkrieg of rhymes, beats, free Hennessy cocktails and surprises, making the ritzy, enormous ballroom feel like your cozy, neighborhood hole-in-the-wall hip-hop joint. Performances began with New York City rock-fusion combo Elizabeth The Band, who set the stage a blaze with precise percussion and [...]
Backstage at the Dell sponsored lounge at Austin City Limits provided theblvdmag.com an opportunity to meet newbie rock band, The Bright Light Social Hour. This four member band made up of lead vocalist and guitarist A.J. Vincent, keyboardist Jack O’Brien, guitarist Curtis Rausch, and drummer Jo Mirasole was selected as the opening act of the [...]
Ok so you were in love. Major love. Or you’re fresh out of a horrible relationship that lasted way too long. Now it’s over. What to do next? It’s an important decision.
