My friends and I had a
Texas Style New Year Celebration this year.
Here was the invitation:
Texans tamed the wild frontier, pulled oil from the ground, and put a man on the moon. Texas is a state of mind that is expansive and independent-minded enough for many natives to consider Texas a country in itself. No other state enjoys great food as much as Texas, tells stories as big as Texas, or throws a party like we do. Texans, native or transplanted alike, know how to ring in the New Year with our own grand Texas flavor. And yes, we mean flavor in the most literal sense: Texas is the Barbecue Capital of the World and what better way to polish off some brisket than with a special Texas-flavored Watermelon Martini?
What we’re getting at is that we’ll be hosting a Texas-style celebration complete with a cowboy cookout, TEXAS size drinks, lone star music, dancing, games, and an exciting countdown to midnight. Dress "Texas Formal" and wear something shiny! Big hair, big jewels, be “austin-tatious”! Show your Texas pride! And use your Texas charms… Whether you saddle up for the party among the boots and bovine or you opt for a sophisticated old-school soiree, keep it unique, imaginative, and close to home. Bring Dates, Significant Others, and Friends.
If you want to ante up to Miss Kitty’s Poker Showdown, learn Texas Hold ‘Em before the party:
