MIDTOWN LIVE: Fun Events In Houston On New Years Eve, 2008

Things To Do In Houston On New Years Eve

The loud pops from indiscriminate shots being fired wildly into the air mingled with the sounds of nearby fireworks and sent me scampering back inside of a Houston night club, after I naively tried to go outside to make a phone call at midnight.

For December 31, 2008, I've found 5 fun events in Houston. These are safe and some of the best things to do on New Years Eve in Houston. From slap-stick comedy to a romantic yacht cruise to help you have a SAFE and HAPPY NEW YEARS.

The Best Yacht Cruise For New Years Eve

Let me give it to you straight about the cruise, the yacht will not be leaving the dock. The STAR CRUISER recently suffered a catastrophic failure, their new engine won't be ready in time for the New Year's Eve party, forcing the Star Cruiser to remain safe but soundly moored to the dock, which has a phenomenal view of the Clear Lake harbor.

With that said, let me advise you that a special rate is being offered for the evening and I think if you've been reluctant to take a nautical excursion, here is a good way to get your feet wet with a sample of what you can expect on a larger cruise ship.
