With all the fans coming into town this weekend for the Final Four, we realized that we needed to do what we could to help them out. Using some brash generalizations and stereotypes we’ve decided on a few places we could send the fans of Kentucky, Butler, Virgina Commonwealth and UConn. You’re welcome.
Butler University
All you need to know: Just like the Kool-Aid Man, Butler is once again busting down the walls of the tournament to the delight of all the kiddos. The Bulldogs may not be as prone to property damage, but we still wouldn’t drink from that pitcher; the infamous Jim Jones is a distinguished alumnus, receiving an honorary, post-mortem doctorate in crazy.

I think that every TV channel should have a permanent home on the dial. Every time I travel somewhere, the tv channels are always different and it sucks. I can’t sit down and turn on the Football game on ESPN because I don’t know what channel ESPN is. Good luck getting caught up on the news when you don’t know how to find CNN. How hard would it be to have a national listing that mandates the number for each channel. ABC can be 1, CBS 2 and NBC 3. Fox, because of its amazing programming, can be 90. When I run for President, I think that would be the basis of my platform. Screw healthcare, gun control and the budget. I’m focusing on the important stuff. Standardizing TV channels so I don’t have to get up off the couch to look for a guide, no matter what city I’m in.

A couple weeks back The Loop Scoop was asked by Click2Houston to write a blog post for them about first dates.

And that doesn’t change the fact that Houston’s Best didn’t ask the rest of us. So we’ve added a few more options.

Another week has come and gone and once again I put off The Procrastinator’s Plan until the last minute. Force of habit, I guess. There’s a lot going on this weekend, so make sure you get out there and experience this great city of ours and the great weather. I know that’s what I plan to do, if I ever get around to it.

Even with 100 spots for all the things we love about Houston, we still had trouble narrowing it down. Perhaps we missed some things. Let us know in the comments.

We’re a small operation, but we cover a lot of ground. Sometimes it’s hard to sit down and write out an in depth experience about the places we go to every week. To compensate for that we’ll publish a sweet little ditty about the notable adventures of The Loop Scoop every Monday. Where did we go? What did we hear? What did we eat, drink and see? These are all questions that we ask each other and we’ll answer for you in our public forum. Enjoy.
This Week: Pub Trivia, FRIDAY prix fixe LUNCH, The Spazmatics, The Loop Scoop Meeting, Foundation Room, Agora and Anvil on a Saturday night
