FOOTBALL SEASON — If you're looking for a fancy tailgating experience before a University of Texas game, stop by the Hotel Ella front lawn. For $50, guests get a complimentary buffet by Goodall's Kitchen, cocktails, beer and wine, shuttles to and from stadium, and a pre-game broadcast (they'll show the game too, but then the cash bar starts). The high-class shindigs start September 12 for the Rice game. Tickets are available online.
