    What comes before Part-B? PART-AYY!!! This partay just happened to be the largest outdoor cocktail…read moreparty in Texas. BOTB has been around in Houston for 37 years now. I only just learned about it this year and wish I had been let in on the secret earlier since this was one heck of a party. Though I would not have been legally old enough to drink at all of those parties. However BOTB had generously funded a large grant to the nonprofit I serve on the board of, so I was more than happy to volunteer my time to help them out at their party to thank them for their generosity. I figured they were going to have me greet people at the gate or something since I am such a people-person, but they actually paid for me to attend a TABC certification class before the event and then put me to work as a volunteer bartender for a few hours - letting me check out the event as a non-volunteer private citizen when I was not pouring up drank. I have more than 20 years in the volunteer game - (and I know volunteering is not all about 'me') but I have never been treated better as a volunteer. BOTB occupied the entire outside Wortham area downtown, mostly headquartered in the Fish Plaza area. The front gate on Smith locked down entrance so IDs could be checked and only 21+ year old people were allowed in through the one controlled point of entry. The side of Fish Plaza running along Texas Ave had gates up also (and the high dollar donor area was along a large part of the gate anyway) so there was strong security in place. As my uber driver was crawling along Texas Ave to drop me off we could hear the loud music from a few blocks away. Party time, alright! While other people were spending their Easter Sunday in church or in quiet contemplation still drunk in a Tim Horton's parking lot this was the alternative: loud music, big crowds, and flowing drinks of vodka, rum, whiskey, gin, and beer types. Pretty much everything sensible you need for day drinking except Jägerbombs. What is BOTB? (From their webpage) Bunnies on the Bayou, Inc. is a 501(c)3, all volunteer organization dedicated to the raising and distributing of funds for various charitable, educational, and cultural programs that seek to improve the quality of life and promote education and awareness of human rights for individuals in the Houston GLBT community. The organization raises money through a series of social events throughout the year, and culminates every Easter Sunday at Bunnies on the Bayou, the largest outdoor cocktail party in Texas. Before my volunteer bartending shift started I collected some drinks of my own for proper drinkin' purposes. All of the first shift volunteers were amazing and polite. The thousands of guests were also respectful. There were cops everywhere, but I didn't see any issues requiring "Sekkurity!" at any point, which is pretty impressive considering that some of my family's weddings needed cops after the True Italian (tm) came out, even at a family wedding - and this was a day drinking party with thousands of strangers. Later when my bartending shift started everyone behind the bar with me was just as nice, as were the guests. All in all a great use of a Sunday. I know where I will be next Easter Sunday for #38 and it is for a good cause! The other benefitting agencies were all doing various types of great work in the community, and the executive directors of those agencies I met were fun to talk with as I learned more about their vision and strategies.

    Thank heaven for Fresh Arts Coalition!…read more Art enthusiasts--be it visual, performing and even music--should know what FAC is all about. It's a non-profit organization compiled of 25 of Houston's small to mid-size art groups: Aurora Picture Show, Oprah in The Heights, The Orange Show, DiverseWorks and Mildreds Umbrella Theater Company are just a few members part of FAC. What FAC does that makes them so special is they bring awareness to said organizations and keep locals like you and I up to date with what's going on in the scene; and Houston has a lot goin' on: art openings, theatre shows, mixers, benefits and much more. You can keep tabs of FAC happenings by signing up for their newsletter (I'm a subscriber!). And huge shot out to fellow yelper Mandy G who's heads up Fresh Arts Coalition.

    WHAM, or the Winter Holiday Art Market, is an event I go to every year for the past 5 years or so…read more Each year in November Fresh Arts hosts a weekend WHAM, where local Houston artists and others can showcase their goods for sale, with a nod towards the holiday season. I always attend the preview party on Friday night, which does require you to purchase tickets to attend, but the rest of the weekend it's a free event for everyone. I would recommend you leave the small children at home unless you want to purchase a lot of broken art, because most of the wares, while beautiful, are fragile and expensive, and little hands can find lots to touch here. Preview night boasts live music (usually a DJ), open bar and light snacks. I also like to think that there's fewer people since you have to buy a ticket, but honestly I've never gone any night other than preview night. Since almost all the art is handmade and unique, you also get first pick of all the wares, which can be a great deal. The vendors change every year, but there are a few that have been there consecutively and I love getting the chance to browse around and see what's new in the local handmade community. If you enjoy unique gifts, or just one-of-a-kind pieces, then WHAM is an awesome place to check out ~100 vendors in one place.
