David Anderson III, George Daniels and Mikos Adams
Off the Record welcomed dozens of VIPs to its vinyl-store-slash-listening-lounge, located in the former Bovine & Barley space on Main. Nightlife veterans Jason Lowery and Steve Rogers and their co-owners David Anderson III and Mikos Adams greeted the stylish crowd, who enjoyed craft cocktails and beats courtesy of DJ Vanilla Trill while exploring the space.
The concept was inspired by George's Music Room, a Chicago institution owned by Anderson's uncle George Daniels, who was on hand this evening. Tucked behind the stacks of vinyls at Off the Record is a wraparound bar and an upstairs lounge called, of course, George's Music Room. Up here, framed photos of Daniels with legends like Lenny Kravitz and Destiny's Child adorn the walls, and guests can kick back and vibe out to curated tunes.
Attendees included Love Is Blind's Izzy Zapata and Uche Okoroha, along with fellow reality stars Rachel Evans (The Circle) and Washington Ho (House of Ho); former Houston Texans Owen Daniels and Earl Mitchell; media personalities Vanessa Richardson, Maggie McKethan, Melanie Camp, Michael Garfield, Natalie Harms and many others.
At 9pm, the doors opened to the public, and an excited crowd filtered into the intimate space to keep the party going.
“We wanted to bring something new to Houston, and we couldn’t be more excited to open these doors,” Adams said. “Houston is such a melting pot, and this is a place where we can all come together around our love of music, cocktails and good times.”

The event, chaired by Cheryl Byington and Brian Teichman, raised $850,000 for Houston SPCA’s mission to improve and protect the lives of animals in the community and alleviate their suffering and abuse, a rep for the organization said. Guests opted between full-on costumes — the Laird Doran’s bull rider with the inflatable bull was memorable — and elegant black-tie.
“Inspired by the theme, guests were transported to an elegant, haunted Howl-O-Ween mansion as they made their way into the arena,” noted the rep. “Fashioned by Bergner and Johnson, wispy lilac-colored ferns feathered through flowers creating a ghost effect.
“Partygoers sipped on libations and enjoyed hors d’oeuvres during the cocktail hour while perusing the silent auction. Highly sought after items included a Texas A&M suite experience at Kyle Field, Bald Eagle release and Palm Desert getaway.”
Dinner included a bibb lettuce salad with grilled pear, followed by pan-seared chicken with caramelized-shallot and Armagnac jus. Pumpkin molasses muffins provided a seasonal touch. Dessert was vanilla panna cotta with apple compote accompanied by calvados caramel, white chocolate and shortbread cookies. “Cupcakes, coffee, cocktails and cuddles were also available in the adoption center,” said the nonprofit rep.
Even better than dessert? The sweet sounds of soulful musician Bubba McNeely, a beloved Houston favorite who played for the dancing throngs after dinner.
Guests included Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale, Frances Moody and Tony Buzbee; Zane and Brady Carruth, Hershey Grace, Ed McMahon, Beth Wolff, Cynthia Wolff, Bruce Padilla, Shelby Kibodeaux and Constable Alan Rosen.
