I can say with no doubt in my mind that Saturday, April 12 was one of the nicest days Houston will see all year. I hope my fellow Houstonians enjoyed the beautiful weather as much as I did - the Westheimer Block Party was the place to be for great music and some serious people watching. Armed with extra allergy medication (anyone else out there feel like kicking spring's ass?), I wandered in and around Numbers, Avant Garden, and Mango's to check out the action.

This year's Spring edition of the Westheimer Block Party, organized by Free Press Houston, is set to take place on Saturday, April 12, 2008. Eggs and I eagerly anticipate the bi-annual event every April and October, and this Spring's lineup looks to be one of the strongest yet. Music begins at noon and goes late.
