ANNOTATIONS
Han's Beer Garden
Dubbed "a friendly oasis
in the middle of the city," Hans'
Bierhaus offers over 60 bottled beers
and 70 beers on tap. Off of Kirby
and south of Highway 59, Hans' is
slightly hidden at 2523 Quenby.
Look for the old painted SUV and
you will know that you found it.
They are open Monday through
Friday from 2:00 pm to 2:00 am and
Saturday through Sunday 12:00 pm
to 2:00 am.
Purchased by its current
owners in 2005, Hans' is a proud
supporter of many charities. They
have a steady stream of events to
raise funds for various organizations
such as St. Jude Research Hospital,
Houston Young Lawyer's
Association, the American Red
Cross, and the Sunshine Kids. Hans'
also enters their art car in the Art Car
Parade.
Outside, Hans' has a Bocce
ball court to encourage some friendly
competition between friends. If
the weather is bad, there are darts,
televisions, and a jukebox inside
with plenty of tables to pull up a
chair and enjoy a beer. They also
offer free wireless internet if you
want to do a little school work while
enjoying a beer. Monday through
Friday from 4:00 to 7:00, there is
happy hour where you get $.50 off
draft beers and $2 off pitchers. There
are also other daily specials offered
on the chalkboard out front of the
bar. Hans' also offers 25 different
wines, champagnes, and sparkling
wines. If you are not fond of beer or
wine, Hans' is a place to steer clear
of since they do not serve liquor.
Overall, Hans' is a great
place to go try a new kind of beer or
wine. Enjoy the outdoors on a pretty
day in their beer garden with some
friends. If you don't know the rules
to Bocce ball, print them from their
website before you head down there.
Cheers! •
Houston Pavilions
While everyone has seen and
heard about the Houston Pavilions
that recently opened next to South
Texas, many may not have had the
opportunity to go check out what the
shopping center has to offer.
The Houston Pavilions is a
unique development in downtown
Houston which strives to incorporate
retail, condominiums, and office
space all in one area. The open
air complex is designed to make
you feel as though you are outside
even though you are in a store or
restaurant.
The development is a 200
million dollar project that consists
of three city blocks. It took Walter
P. Moore, the developer, two years
to build the 700,000 square foot
project. While there are over two
dozen retail tenants scheduled to
open in the complex, currently there
are about 10 open right now.
je&sfáñ tjVA<t)Foy&>
There are four main anchor
positions: Books-A-Million, a chain
book store, XXI Forever, a clothing
store, and House of Blues, a bar
and music venue are all currently
open. Lucky Strikes, a bar and
bowling alley is scheduled to open
this summer along with several other
retailers. The development also has
a parking garage between Main and
Fannin at Clay. The garage charges
$2.00 per Vi hour with a $10.00
maximum.
If you are looking for an
interesting present and are short on
time, drop by the Houston Pavilions
and purchase a gift card. The Visa
gift cards may be used at any retailer
in the development.
Visit the Houston
Pavilions' website at http://www.
houstonpavilions.com to learn about
the other retailers set to open in the
development. You can also visit the
House of Blues website at http://

upcoming performances. •
Mi Luna
If you are looking to try
something different, Mi Luna is a
great place to start. Mi Luna is a
Spanish tapas bar (not to be confused
with a topless bar), located in Rice
Village at 2441 University Boulevard
and in Sugarland at 2298 Texas
Drive. They are open from 11am
to 10pm Monday thru Wednesday
and 11am to 2pm Thursday through
Saturday.
In case you have no idea what
"tapas" are, here is a brief history
lesson on how they supposedly
originated: centuries ago when one
visited a Spanish bar, the bartenders
would cover beer or wine glasses
with a plate to keep the dirt and dust
out of the glass. On the plates they
would have bread, cheese and other
appetizers to keep the customers
from getting too drunk. In fact, it
was made a law that the bars were
not allowed to serve alcohol without
accompanying them with such
appetizers. Since then, tapas have
become popular in North America
and Europe as a way of allowing
people to snack as they are drinking.
Now, there are dozens of
different kinds of tapas. Mi Luna's
menu ranges from the Lombarda
al Chorizo, which is chorizo
and potatoes, to Queso de Cabra
Montanes, which is goat cheese
and tomatoes. During happy hour,
which is 3:00 to 7:00pm select tapas
and tostas are $3, Margaritas and
Sangritas are $5, and Sangria, Bud
Light Drafts and Zeigenbock Drafts
are $3. On Tuesdays they have a
special which includes 7 tapas for
$45.
If you are looking for live
music, Mi Luna offers entertainment
Wednesday through Saturday.
Wednesday is flamenco, Thursday is
Latin and Friday and Saturday offers
Salsa, Meringue, and Bachata.
On Sundays, Mi Luna offers
a buffet which includes seafood,
omelets, various meats and desserts.
They also offer $7.99 bottomless
mimosas and sangría if you need a
little hair of the dog that bit you the
night before.
Overall, a meal at Mi Luna
can be whatever you want to make of
it- a casual dinner with friends or a
romantic date. Try it on a weeknight
if you want a peaceful meal or on the
weekend if you want to hear good
music. •

the State of Texas is required to
complete an "Intent to Study Law"
application and submit it to the
Texas Board of Law Examiners.
Students who do not complete and
submit their applications within the
first year will have to pay a late fee.
Students submitting their application
late must remember to submit their
application at least 270 days prior to
taking the bar exam. Failure to do so
will result in having to defer sitting
for the bar exam.
"Set aside some time to
complete your application. It takes
time to gather all the necessary
documents thatthe Board requires you
to submit along with the application
and you have to be fingerprinted by
an approved agency. It really does
take a while, so I would suggest
avoiding any procrastination,"
explains Rhonda Harrison, associate
director, Student Academic Affairs.
Upon receiving your
completed application, The Board
conducts a rigorous assessment.
The assessment looks at a variety
of factors in making a final
determination, including outstanding
debts, chemical dependency, criminal
history, dishonesty and a general
"lack of trustworthiness" in carrying
out the "duties" of a lawyer. In
addition, there must be "substantial
evidence" that any negative trait
