    This is a great event for a great cause. Please consider joining or donating to someone in the event. I ride with Craigslist, which generously matches each generous donation that is made on my (of my teams) behalf. More info here:

Strange...I didn't wait over 10 minutes and I enjoyed all the beer and soup.
It was also great to see 3 great individuals I've not seen in forever.

Anyway, big ups to the painters, Firestone and the girl who gave me the sexy eye as I snatched pints.

Much has already been written but Chika really does amazing & creative things with desert. All of her dishes are so light and delicate. Don (host) is a great guy too. You get the sense that he is genuine and wants you to enjoy yourself.

My TIP: Try, try, try to sit at the bar if at all possible. It is so awesome to watch Chika and her staff carefully prepare each desert course. You'll also have an opportunity to see all their nightly offerings. Most of all, it is SO ENTERTAINING to watch the chefs interact with each other (trust me - observe the nuances & you'll see what I mean).

Oh yea, order the fromage blanc cheesecake.

Pretty good selection of frames here. The staff is great too. They did their best rush the lenses for my new frames. I def recommend this place, particularly for a 2nd pair because their prices are very discounted (assuming your vision insurance doesn't cover a 2nd pair).

Never had glasses before and the staff is quite helpful. They have a great selection and the guys will really help you find frames that fit your face. They'll take care of you.

Top notch professionalism and excellent work mounting my TV.

Good prices and knowledgeable, too. They changed out a HDMI cable for my existing component cable to reduce the wires.

They even returned a few days later to adjust the mount when I wanted it lowered.

I have known Gary for nearly 4 years. I am always delighted by the conversation & the cut.

Modern furnishings & a fair price.
Be sure to call ahead for an appointment.

Always one of my usual stops whenever I was South of Houston.
I'm truly going to miss this place.

A few months ago, I went in search for a new car. A Sales Associate named Kay Sinphanich helped me located the vehicle I wanted at a fair price. I found the car I wanted & could not be happier!

The customer service here was great; Kay places her emphasis on satisfying her customers, rather than profit margins (those will as a product). She was a great help & made the usually stressful process of buying a new car quite comfortable, actually enjoyable. Based on some terms of my negotiation specifics, I had the opportunity to work with her for about a month out. Each time I met/spoke with her, I was greeted with the same warmth & attentiveness I received before signing all the papers.

Honestly, I was impressed with her & will definitely refer others to Kay when I have the opportunity. So, if you are looking for a new Benz, come here & ask for Kay Sinphanich.

Authentic  Sardinian food. I recommend any of their specials. Last week  they had homemade tagliatele pasta with shaved tuna heart. It was fantastic and you won't get much more authentico than that.

They also have an extensive wine list. Many good bottles of white around $22 - $25.

Make sure to get reservations if you go. It is a small place and popular at that.
