When I am thinking about where to go in Houston, I come to the realization that there are a lot of crazy things that I could be doing on my nights and weekends. Just like any big city, if you look hard enough, you are likely to find things that your mother would be ashamed that you are involved in. It\’s not that I go looking for this kind of stuff all the time, but everyone once in a while you want to try and find some foolish entertainment in the city that even the police stay away from because they are afraid of what might happen or what they might see.

Now I am not saying you should all go out and do something illegal. I prefer to stay away from that if at all possible. I must admit, however, there have been a couple of times where I have found myself in some places that I probably should not have been and was lucky we didn\’t get arrested on those nights.

One such night, a few friends of mine and I had been out and probably had too much to drink. We had grabbed a cab at about 3 AM and my one buddy said to the cab driver \”take us somewhere that is off the radar.\” The cabbie just turned to us and smiled and starting driving without saying a word.

It seemed like we drove for a long time, or it could just be that I really couldn\’t keep track of time at that point in the evening. We arrived in front of this small, rundown building and the cabbie waved us out. We slowly made our way into the shack and found ourselves somewhere I knew we shouldn\’t be.

There was a surprisingly large group of people on the area and we worked our way through the crowd to get close to what everyone was shouting at. We arrived at the edge of a large circle filled with sawdust and straw. Sure enough, we found ourselves attending a late night illegal cock fight.

A large guy in dark glasses came up to us and demanded we each place a wager on one of roosters involved in the fight. I really didn\’t want anything to do with all of this at this point, but the guy wasn\’t taking no for answer, so I put ten bucks on the rooster they were calling Punky Rooster. I figured the bet saved me from getting beat up and the name was too funny not to bet on.

Sure enough, Punky Rooster won the match, I collected my winnings and my friends and I got the heck out of there. The cabbie was out there waiting for us, laughing to himself. He took us back into the city as we all sat stunned at what we had just done. Next time you are looking for where to go in Houston, don\’t leave it up to the cab driver.
