Sadly, for millions of worldwide fans,Game of Thrones is coming to an end this year.
The immensely popular, Emmy-winning HBO series (based on George R.R. Martin's still-going A Song of Ice and Fire novels) will close out its run with an eighth season of only six episodes. This will be everybody's last chance to catch Jon Snow, Daenerys Targaryen, Cersei Lannister (her trifling!), and all the other Westeros-based characters you have followed throughout the years.
If you would like to celebrate this show's final season by watching the season premiere on Sunday, April 14 night with a bunch of like-minded individuals, presumably under the influence of alcohol, are you in luck! Here is a rundown of watch parties in and around Houston, where you can take in all of the epic fantasy madness.
Camerata at Paulie's
The Montrose wine bar will be using its watch party as a good time to pour rustic reds and powerful whites from France's Rhône Valley. (If you haven't guessed it already, this party is called the "Game of Rhones Season Premiere.") And feel free to dress as your favorite character. 8-9 pm.
Chuck's Sports Bar & Memorabilia
This League City destination will officially become "Chuckstros" for its watch party, asking all naives and surfs to join "The Chuck's Watch." (Is this all corny? Yes, but we'll let it slide.) There will also be food and drink specials all night. 5-11 pm.
Chuy Benitez's Backyard
Honestly, we don't know who this dude is, but it appears he wants people to know about the watch party that he'll be having in his backyard. Bring your own food, beverages and lawn chairs, but he will have crawfish for those who request it beforehand. 7:30-11:30 pm.
Exit 73 Bar & Grill
Over in Spring, this place will have a full-on feast during its watch party. People can gorge on Targaryen turkey legs, Baratheon burgers, and Theon Greyjoy's sausage-on-a-stick. (That's messed up, man.) If you feel like it, you can also dress as your favorite character. 8-11 pm.
Hotel Ylem
This spot will have a watch party for every episode of Thrones' final season, complete with a themed cocktail/mocktail menu, a rewatch of the previous episode before the new episode starts and dishes from the Chef on the Run Halal food truck. Of course, you can also dress as your favorite character. 6-9 pm.
Liberty Station
Not only will this bar have a watch party, projected onto a large screen, there will also be a pre-show trivia night. Teams of six or fewer will be able to compete, and prizes will go to the top three teams. Trivia starts at 6 and will be finished before the show airs. 6-10 pm.

Now that the regular season is officially over, many teams are scrambling to lineup interviews with coaching candidates to fill their vacancies.
One of those teams is the New York Jets, who have reached out to the Texans for permission to interview offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik.
Many Texans fans would welcome a coordinator change, with Slowik's offense taking a step back this season. Which is why it's a bit strange that Slowik is still drawing interest as a potential head coach. But then again, nothing should surprise us when it comes to the Jets.
This is one video you don't want to miss as ESPN Houston's Paul Gallant and Joe George react to the Jet's interest in Slowik, and discuss if they would be happy to see him go.
