| Big
news this month, as www.citysearch.com begins the voting for
Houston's BEST OF CITYSEARCH 2005 awards. Please vote for 6°
Lounge, the Ruby Room and Slainte Irish Pub in the categories
you feel the venues I work for, and love so dearly, deserve recognition.
While voting, take a minute to add your two cents to the reviews
on www.citysearch.com. We at 6° Lounge are thrilled (and honored)
about the reviews and praise we've been receiving lately. Thank
you all for your loyalty and patronage. All of the QOC newsletter
readers should have received a recent newsletter from Gary at
6°. Did you like it? Please take a minute to gaze in awe at the
brand new www.sixdl.com website. I just love it! Special thanks
to our new webmaster, Dustie Hollon of www.hjrdesigns.com. Dustie
is a GOD when it comes to websites. Speaking of GODS, Khail Mills,
my business partner, has moved back to Houston. I'm elated! See
more of Khail's work at www.hypermail.cc.
Check out all of our MANY new newsletter sponsors! Wow, we are
really growing. Please visit their websites, sign up for their
email lists and most of all, spend money with these businesses.
Without my precious sponsors, there would be no Queen of Clubs.
Thank you new sponsors, we are glad to have you as a part of
the newsletter. Because of all of our new sponsors, we will now
have 3 issues each month instead of two. Lord knows I write as
much as I talk so I'll never run out of things to tell you about.
I like hearing from you all too, so please give me your feedback
or suggestions about where I should visit, or where I should
not. Inquiring minds want to know!
I'm
hosting a "just because it's Wednesday" happy
hour at 6° Lounge on May 11th, It's Wednesday, and that's all
the reason I need to throw a party. Wednesdays are an awesome
reason to get together and 6° is THE place to hang. There's no
Astros game that night, so I don't want to hear any whining about
parking. I want all of you to bring at least two friends. I'm
starting this party early, at 7:00PM, so if you have to work
the next day, you can still get home at a decent hour, without
blaming me for being a bad influence on you. Wednesdays are Service
Industry Night, so there are great drink specials and two of
my favorite bartenders in the world will be on hand to service
us. Who's in? DJ Soul Tower 606 is in the mix and it is $4 u-call-its
and $2 domestic beers. Come one, come all to 911 Franklin. Come
see me this Tuesday for a kickoff reception and book signing
with the author of OFFSHORE to sign copies. Critics say his novel
will do for Houston what the TV series "Dallas" did
for that city. Join us for drink specials and appetizers on Tuesday,
May 3rd beginning at 6°00PM. For more information about other
appearances with author Don Corace, visit www.perceptivemarketing.com or
his official web site www.doncorace.com.
Johnny
Weisman, the Bald Sexy Beast from Joia Lounge sent me an email
about their new "Sundae" promotion on (duh!)
Sundays. They have a chef cooking omelets with fresh fruit,
bagels and cream cheese, etc. The food is excellent and FREE,
there isn't a cover and best of all they serve ice cream sundaes
with liquor on top. For more information contact Johnny at
jw@joiahouston.com. Get more "scoop" (get it, ice
cream? Scoop?) at this link: www.thespinnetwork.com/upload/sundae.jpg.
This
will be one of the biggest and baddest events of the year!
Fischerspooner, Dean Coleman, and Deep Dish along with many
other performers and artists will leave you begging for more
this Friday at HUSH. Purchase tickets at www.tickets.com and
get more 411 on the event at www.hushonline.com. Don't let
your friends say "you should have been there." BE
there!
Just
can't get enough of the 80's? Then, get lost with THE LOST
BOYS, Houston's new 80's dance band that has invaded the city,
bringing a "totally awesome" show to a club near
you. Formed by E! True Hollywood Story producer Mike Hubberd,
The Lost Boys play classic 80s tunes and put on a wild show.
Their website is also the only place in the world where you
can get free relationship advice from rockstars (a bargain at
any price.) Check it out at www.thelostboysband.com and be the
first on your block to host The Lost Boys for a classic 80s dance
party! I'm not afraid to admit the music from the 80's is still
my favorite era.
NEWS
IN THE BIZ: My great friend, Catering Director, Ann Lasher
is now working for HESS (Houston Engineering and Scientific Society)
HESS is a private city club created by engineers. It is one of
Houston's most elegant and luxurious settings for a special event,
and you do not have to be a member to host an event there. Their
intimate private rooms accommodate 10-350 people or up to 600
for the entire facility. More than 120 organizations choose HESS
for their monthly meetings. Appropriate events also include wedding
receptions, rehearsal dinners, bridal luncheons, anniversaries,
birthdays and holiday parties. El Centro Restaurant at 416 Main
Street is hiring and is scheduled to open around June 18th. Send
resumes to employment@centrohouston.com and include a cover letter
detailing why you would like to become part of the team. Been
to Wasabi Sushi Bar yet? Email WasabiHappyHour@djsteve.com and
tell DJ Steve why your company deserves to win and your next
Happy Hour party could be on the house. I even sent an essay
about my team. I hope I win a party.
My
longtime buddy, Mr. Sean 'Sugar Pants' Carnahan is a busy guy
this month. He has hosted Tastylick at the Davenport over
five years now, and continues doing so. Sean and Champa Moore
will be on the tables all night long. Mention the Queen of
Clubs and receive first drink and complimentary cover on a
Wednesday. The Davenport is at 2115 Richmond Avenue in the
Shepherd Plaza Shopping Center. See Sean again on Thursdays
for FIVE at the Lounge on 4704 Montrose. Also on the Thursday
roster of DJs at the Lounge is Alex C. and Champa Moore (Champa
and Sean are EVERYWHERE!) No cover at the Lounge on Thursdays
for Queen of Clubs readers. That means YOU. Saturdays at the
Gatsby, Sean, Champa, Alex C., Brandon Silva and Brian Durand
host "RIDE." The Gatsby is in Rice Village at 2540
University Boulevard. When you visit Sean on these nights,
tell him the Queen thinks he is the "real deal!" He's
a Carnahanimal!
Houston

will have when it's pitched to networks. Plus, it's a great
show, that all music lovers will enjoy Actually, even if you

the personalities of the hosts, judges and of the bands. Show
these guys your support and WATCH the show.
The Ruby Room will host Connect for a Cure on Thursday, May
