Have any of you attended the White Linen Night in the Heights? If so, what is it like and what do you do?

Dis gon be good

Tons of people 22-28 that make 65k a year but think they got monnnnnnnnnney to burn. But the women's are hot.

If it wasn't for social media this event wouldn't have 5% of the people that attend.

That being said if you like a load of people and going with the masses this is absolutely a great evening.

Here's your options:

1) Hit the crowded bars on White Oak
2) Stand on the asphalt of 19th roasting your balls looking at the lines for alcohol and/or bathrooms
3) Go to McIntyres

There's a 4th option which is hit a house party but since you're asking on here I'm guessing that's not an option.

LOL have fun sweating your balls off and slumming it with the peasants op make sure you wear white!

I imagine it could be pretty fun for people who really enjoy being in a crowd outside in August. Otherwise, it's traffic situation to be avoided.

Like lights in the heights but everyone is wearing white.

1. Hot as **** outside
2. Lots of women around
3. Bring your own cooler

I've always wondered what the origins of this is, is it strictly a tine thing or do morons across the country do this *****

Good question. A quick google search reveals a couple of Katrina transplants brought this from Nola. Apparently they realized dumb white people would eat this nonsense up, and they were right.

Whites in the Heights... Just another day

I heard once that concert/festival promoters see it as a best practice these days to have supplementary network equipment on site to make sure everyone in attendance can post their pictures at the event. If you can't make people jealous that they are not in the fun with you, what's the point of social media and/or events.

Stadiums install wi-fi not to entertain Braydynn that can't look away from her own image for 5 minutes, but so that Braydynn's followers know where they can spend money and attain similar recognition in the future.

Back in ancient times, you had to buy a t-shirt.

no, back in ancient times you had to crawl into the gladiator arena and snatch a body part from the dead loser to prove to your friends back on the Aventine you had really been there.

Whatever you do, don't drink the spiked orange Hi-Cs at Onion Creek. Orange is hard to wash out from white clothes.

Thanks for the comments. We have a vendor hosting a party at its office in the Heights, so there is a place to hang out, drink and eat if the WLN is lame. I will check it out.

If you're a suburbanite, this is your best chance to see the shirtless wonder Phil Brayton in the wild.

I didn't know his name before, but figured it had to be the same guy. He likes hanging around outside of Finn Hall on Main these days if you are downtown.

Maybe that's why I've seen him Downtown at lunch time.

For anyone who doesn't know what we're talking about: https://theleadernews.com/life-of-the-party-brayton-unmistakable-fixture-at-white-linen-night/

Seems to be a mostly normal guy who enjoys being a local character.

LOL...What I would expect if 50-something y/o Van Blasingame decided to get on the juice.

Have seen him at Cookoff. Figured it was a bit. Good for him. He's probably pulled some strange because of it and that's what matters most.

Saw him at Finn the other day. Interesting dude.

I can't imagine the amount of piss drunk 5s that guy pulls on the reg.

Holy crap, I literally saw this guy a couple weeks ago walking around downtown during lunch on a Monday, and he was dressed the exact same. No shirt, short shorts and some white gator loafers

But did he have his gold pimp cane?

I lived in the Heights for 3 years and I never went then. I'm sure not going now.

Yes! he did have a cane

I get home this morning and pick up the neighborhood newspaper and look who is on the cover... had no idea he was a Houston famous person. Apparently he has a funeral business and dresses like this as a separate persona. I thought he was a pimp.

Texans Cheerleaders (few years ago)

I've learned so much about Phil Brayton via this thread. I may even want him to bury me. But I want to hear some of his escapades first...
