The Guy Expo ‘09 comes to Houston this weekend (November 6-8) at the George R. Brown Convention Center. The Y Chromosome Zone is all about what guys love under one roof.  And that list includes: Cheerleaders, Hooters Girls, guy work tools, jumbo TVs, contests, prizes, fried & hot/firey food, sports celebrities and lots of sports stuff — including a lifesize inflatable football goal post setup to test your field goal kicking skills!

There’s even the The Almost-Darwin Awards — a completely ridiculous contest that’s a lot of fun!

Come in an Elvis Presley jumpsuit and get in free! Grab your buddies and get in on the fun! Actually, it’s all Family Fun…

A portion of The Guy Expo profits will support their charity partner Habitat for Humanity, which will showcase a Tricked-Out Garage.

Black Iguana will have a booth and will be whooping up some fun – so come by and visit for taste samples and freebies!

LSU Fighting Tiger & Black Iguana

Mike the Tiger at the LSU vs Florida game was ferociously geared up and was showing some swagger with Black Iguana!

Black Iguana was definitely a chick magnet.

The Fighting Tiger fans mashed up their Purple & Gold colors  with the Black & Lime Green!  Fashionistas, not.  Partyistas, yes!  

The LSU GRRRRRLS not only wore their Purple & Gold stripes with pride — they also really loved the Black Iguana Frozen Ritas!  

David Alden Wilks and LSU tailgate party friends set a new standard in FUN! The large supply of Frozen Ritas brought a lot of tailgating cheer and out-of-the-beer-box creativeness. 

David set up a Beer Bong for Black Iguanas and it was the Bomb!

Bingo & Black Iguana = Fun

The Big Tex Bingo Hall crowds in Houston are fast discovering that Black Iguana Frozen Ritas can add some real fun to bingo nights!

For all you avid bingo players, here’s one bingo tip: Don’t continually gripe out loud about your lousy numbers. It can really get on your neighbor’s nerves. However, as you sip and enjoy your refreshing Black Iguana Frozen Rita — go ahead and talk up its great taste! That would not be annoying — that would simply be inspiring. Bingo! Spread the fun!

Did you know that a constitutional amendament in 1982 made bingo legal in Texas? In 1994 the Texas Lottery Commission took over administration of Texas bingo.  35% of all proceeds must be given to charity in order for the bingo hall to be in compliance with the Bingo Enabling Act. You must be at least 18 years old to play bingo in Texas. Since 1982, bingo halls in Texas have distributed over $796 million to over 1290 charities.

Where Wall Street Meets Iguana Street

 Jack Warkenthein, avid Black Iguana fan and radio show host on Biz Radio Network (Where Wall Street Meets Main Street), sent us this comment: “I had some friends in from San Antonio last weekend, and while at the pool, I pulled out my LAST REMAINING “frozen ritas”. They absolutely LOVED it and want more. Where can they get the product in S.A. right now?”

All you San Antonians, start requesting Black Iguana at your local grocery store! Alamo City is the most perfect “Iguana-land”!

New Retail Store Accounts

Ice Houses Do Not Exist in Dallas?

According to a “Texan Bubba who became a New Yorker Bubba but is now back in my home town of Houston with Mrs. Bubba and Bubba Junior,” there are no ice houses to be found in Dallas! Unlike Dallas, ice houses abound in Houston! So, Black Iguana fans – we leave it up to you to decide the merits of living in Dallas vs Houston.

Black Iguana Frozen Ritas were part of the ice house scene with the Sausage Slingers BBQ crew at the Park Grocery Ice House in Houston.  BBQ and Black Iguana – Bubba’s dream match!

Harvard’s Hot! Houston’s Not?

Socialite and TV reality star Paris Hilton shows up at Harvard University, gets her Lampoon “Woman of the Year” award, and then gives her signature trademark commentary “It’s hot! Harvard’s hot!”

Then this party chick (movie star?) shows up in Houston to drum up some much-needed PR for her new movie release: The Hottie and the Nottie. Any “Houston’s hot” declarations from Paris? Apparently not!
