Wedding venue in Houston, TX? We're looking for a budget-friendly, unique site to have a wedding reception in January 2010. The ceremony will be separate and small, but we'd like to have a fun, casual celebration for all our friends. Centrally located (inside the loop) is good but we're not ruling anything out. Any suggestions?

So I was taking a walk this morning with my camera bag. My camera bag decided it wanted to experience it some freedom and slipped off my shoulder. In the process, my Canon 10D had a meeting with the sidewalk. I now have a busted LCD screen; this makes me sad and unable to operate half the camera. Does anyone have any repair options for broken LCD screen on a Canon 10D in Houston, TX?

Where do I find a sauna in Houston, TX? After living in Berlin for a bit over a year, I'm living now in Houston and looking for a place to go with friends to sit and relax in a sauna. Is there a place to go that'll have a 185-210+ degree sauna? Which are the best for groups, etc? (So far all I've found are gyms- and even those segregate by sex... which defeats the purpose of going with a group of friends).
