Fox Sports Zone, Texans Tailgating Zone and Elvis Kick off Houston Guy Expo

George R. Brown Convention Center hosts man-centric event

HOUSTON, Oct. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- The Guy Expo hits the George R. Brown
Convention Center in Houston November 6-8. It's all about guys and it's all in
one spot. We'll have beer and chicken wings at the Hooters November-fest beer
garden. We'll have Fox Sports Houston, fiery foods, home improvement gear, pro
sports teams and a tricked-out garage. Not to mention contests, prizes and
autographed sports memorabilia.

Houston is the second city to host the event; it debuted in Saint Paul,
Minnesota. It caters to the guy's guy and there's nothing wimpy or soft spoken
about it. It aims to be fun, loud, entertaining and slightly irresponsible.
Want proof? The Almost-Darwin Award goes to the guy with the best story about
the way he almost died.

"The Guy Expo is a cross-section of every cool show that comes to town," says
Shawna Suckow, event organizer. "We have twelve different themed zones full of
demonstrations, food and fun. There's literally something for everyone who
walks through the door."

The Elvis portion of the program is "The King's Wings" chicken wing eating
contest, sponsored by Hooters. The twist is that contestants need to wear an
Elvis jumpsuit. The Miss Guy Expo contest asks participants to wear a tool
belt, slam a beer and answer guy trivia. November-fest, the Expo's beer
garden, lets you sit back, enjoy a cold one and watch your game of choice on
eight big-screen TVs, after visiting the Houston Texans Tailgating Zone, of
course.

Habitat for Humanity will create a tricked-out garage: think plasma TV,
hydraulic lifts, bar area and tool bench. Speaking of tools, you
do-it-yourselfers needing to start just one more project might want to see the
Home Improvement Zone.

Like sports? The Texans, Rockets, Astros, Dynamo, Aeros and Energy will host
contests, games and giveaways.

The Expo runs Friday, November 6th from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and Saturday,
November 7th from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and Sunday, November 8th from 11
a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the George R. Brown Convention Center. Tickets are $8 for
adults, free for kids 12 and under.
