Monday, 24 October 2011: Beer, Tiki, and Mosquitos at Under the Volcano

mike — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 16:20:37 +0000

October 9^thwas the last time we saw appreciable rain in the Houston area. That’s just enough time for all of the dormant floodwater mosquito eggs to hatch, grow, and become the adult bloodsuckers we all hate by, oh, right about now. The good news: floodwater skeeters don’t carry the nasty human-affecting diseases like West Nile and Viral Encephalitis. The bad news: since they’re a (relatively) benign nuisance, the City doesn’t spend your tax dollars on spraying for them. They’ll be around through at least the end of the week, depending on whether we get a decent cold snap or not.

So, for now, even though the weather is otherwise temperate, let’s enjoy our libations inside, at Under the Volcano, 2349 Bissonnet Street at Morningside. UtV is a great place for beers, tiki drinks, and a jukebox with a diverse selection of actual CDs, all of which can be enjoyed under a palapa roof and inside closed or screened windows. See you there at 8 PM.

Hopefully y’all enjoyed the 4th last week and given the continued lack of appreciable rain, stayed safe with the whole fireworks thing. Tonight we’ll be at Under the Volcano, 2349 Bissonnet Street at Morningside, at 8 PM, for beers, tiki drinks, and a great jukebox. See you then!

Although the city finally received a much needed rain shower and thankfully decreased pollen counts (for the moment), we don’t want to tempt the rain clouds and be caught outside on what should be a lovely evening. So join us for a beer, cocktail, or tiki drink under the palapas at Under the Volcano (2349 Bissonnet at Morningside). See you there at 8 PM. Save some dollar bills for one of the best jukeboxes in the city!

See you there at 8 PM. Save some dollar bills for one of the best jukeboxes in the city!
