BRBAPALOOZA: Only Two Weeks Away!

It's time for your weekly reminder about the upcoming BRB Watch Party for the Thursday night clash between your Houston Texans and the Indianapolis Colts (now with more Dan Orlovsky!). Our friends at 360 have upped the awesomeness, but you have to hit the jump to find out what I'm talking about.
The vital information for the event in question:
WHAT: BRBAPALOOZA (Texans v. Colts)
WHEN: Thursday, December 22, 2011 at 7 p.m. (though I'd suggest getting there earlier to snag a good seat; the bar will get crowded on a Thursday night, especially with the Texans playing.)
WHERE: 360 Sports Lounge.
SPECIALS: $2.00 domestic drafts (yes, Shiner will be considered a domestic for those participating in BRBAPALOOZA), $3.00 wells, and happy hour prices for all appetizers on the menu.
WHO: Texans fans. All of 'em.
The bonus? Brandon has graciously pledged that a certain BRB-inspired appetizer will be served totally free of charge. You might recall the specific dish from this edition of the Battle Red Bag. To wit:
"The first thing that popped into my unmentored brain when I read this was Atomic Buffalo Turds. Take half a jalapeno, sliced lengthwise and seeded, and fill it with cream cheese. Shove a Lil' Smokie on top of the cream cheese, wrap the whole to-do in bacon (secure with a toothpick), dust with your favorite BBQ rub, and smoke at 250-275 until the bacon is crispy."
For a time, that dish, an off-the-menu appetizer at 360, was named after one of the illustrious writers here at BRB. Much to said writer's chagrin, it has since been hilariously renamed in light of said writer's failure to attend one of the many BRB soirees at 360.
Want to know what the new name is? I'll tell you at 360 on December 22, 2011.
From the comments and e-mails I've received, it appears that we're going to have a good crowd. If you'll be joining us, please let us know in the Comments; I'd like to give 360 a headcount next week so we can attempt to wrangle sufficient seating.

Re: Dress Code
I don’t know what “boojee” is. I mean, I’ll be wearing a tux, but that’s what I wear for all Texans games.
As long as you’re wearing shoes, a shirt, and something resembling pants, you’ll be fine.

I believe he means bougie
Take it away urban dictionary…..
Aspiring to be a higher class than one is. Derived from bourgeois – meaning middle/upper class, traditionally despised by communists.
Used in a sentence:
Compared to his neighbors, the Titans fan with false teeth certainly is bougie.

RSVP’d earlier. I’m 17 though, so as much as I’d love to join in, I shall not use my fake ID in such a brilliant establishment
I should be there.....
and make it two for me. That still depends on whether the gf can find a family member to watch the munchinkin, but I will be there. And as I said before, may not be until the second quarter or so. Hoping to get going early enough, but I know how that goes.
Just my $.02

I'll be there with a possible +1 or +2

I’m sure that there are people out there who violently disagree with me on most things, and I’m broad-minded enough to concede that they might possibly not be complete idiots, but I much prefer the company of people who agree with me."
Coming out of the lurking closet
I will be there. Been lurking here for awhile and decided it was finally time to come clean. I’m a H-town native that currently lives in Pittsburgh Shitsburgh but i will be back in “The Great State” for the holidays.
I miss Downtown, I miss the Heights. I miss the traffic (not really). I miss only having 3 days of Winter. I miss Galveston. I miss the Art Car Parade. I miss the BBQ. I miss the ladies of Houston Roller Derby. I miss going to Texans home games (I have only made one this year although I am headed out in the morning to make the drive over to Cincinasty for Sunday’s game.)
