Yes, yes, yes. It’s now Friday, August 30th, which officially marks the start of Jeremy’s Birthday Weekend, which will mostly spent playing laser tag, eating cupcakes, and watching movies — because, dammit, I don’t do nearly enough of those things…
New week, new pile of cool shows coming up, starting with tonight, Thursday, August 29th, when there’s definitely plenty going on. Here goes…
We’re on to Saturday now, August 24th, and yours truly is taking a break from moving/trashing/refurbishing furniture in the hot, hot sun to type a little bit about what all’s going on tonight. And yeah, there’s a fair bit; here we go…
Hey, all — back from vacation in London, finally (and yes, it was fun, even if I sadly didn’t get to see any actual English bands while in England), so I’m attempting to drag myself back up on the horse by doing things a little bit earlier than I have previously…
It’s not that nothing was going on last weekend, because there were plenty of great shows. In fact, my favorite band of the last decade, OURS, was in town at Fitzgerald’s last Sunday night. If you weren’t there, you missed out…
Jeremy asked me to fill in for him for the next couple of weeks with the Yr. Weekend segment, so here’s where I plan to be (or for some of these here’s where I would like to be if I could afford it) this weekend…
Oh, wow. That is a big-ass list of good shows happening tonight, so many that yeah, I’m gonna have to keep this kind of brief. Without further blatheration, here goes…
Hey, folks — rolling around to the weekend-time again (today being Friday, July 26th), and yes, there’s plenty of cool stuff happening. Here we go, people…
Spent the day with the kids and grandparents down in Stafford, racing LEGO cars at Techno Chaos and visiting the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir (which is jaw-droppingly beautiful and peaceful, regardless of what religion you subscribe to)…
Got family in town, so I’m a little behind with the show rundown (yeah, like that’s unusual) tonight, Friday, July 19th. And there’s plenty going on, too, although I’m going to have to skim it somewhat… Here we go…
Alrighty; it’s late, but here I am, attempting to get a jump on things (for once). I’m pretty fried, though, so I’ll have to keep this short, alright? Here’s what I think looks/sounds cool for Saturday, July 13th — allons-y, Alonzo…
Yes, folks, it’s that time again — the weekend is here, starting tonight, Friday, July 12th, and while it’s not quite as jam-packed as some recent Fridays have been, well, it’s still looking pretty good. Apologies, by the way, for the quiet of late ’round these parts…
Sorry for skipping most of this week, folks; spent the last few days with the fam, so y’know… Trying to make up for lost time somewhat now, all while juggling cleaning the house for a big-ass neighborhood party tomorrow (which we’ve just learned will probably have to be inside, rather than outside like we’d planned). Happily, there’s some damn good stuff going on tonight, Saturday, July 6th…
It’s now Sunday, June 30th, the last day of the weekend, and there’s still good things happening. Here’re a few worth checking out…
Been taking a bit of a break today — Saturday, June 29th — to hang out with the kids at the neighborhood pool, eat burritos at Freebirds & ice cream at Amy’s, and watch Lilo & Stich with the munchkins. But hey, there’s plenty of good stuff happening tonight; here we go…
Wow. It’s promising to be a hell of a weekend, folks — there is a lot of good stuff going on these next few days, so I’m going to have to be a little brief when going through it. As always, let’s start with what sounds/looks cool for tonight, Friday, June 28th…
Keen-eyed observers of things musical (and artsy) in our fair city may remember around this time last year when ultra-cool, ultra-dramatic rockers {The Manichean} debuted their then-new album, LOVERS in an unusual setting…
Yeah, I know I’ve been skipping a lot of Sundays lately; what can I say? Recently they’ve been pretty quiet, y’know, but there’s a handful of good things going on tonight, June 23rd. Here we go…
Moving on to Saturday, June 22nd, now, but before I get to the shows that are going on, there appears to be one that isn’t. I haven’t been able to completely confirm it, but it sure looks like the Pull The Plug Fest that’d been originally…
It’s that time, y’all — weekend’s here, starting with tonight, Friday, June 21st, and there’s plenty going on; I’m at the casa for the evening, sadly, watching Wreck-It Ralph with Munchkin #2, but there’s a lot to do for the rest of y’all. Here we go…
Those Treaty Oak Collective folks are sponsoring a cool (if somewhat odd for them, generally speaking) thing tonight, Friday, June 21st, up at Domy Books on Westheimer…
Trying to get a little bit of a jump on the weekend’s festivities, in part because yes, this one particular show seriously appeals to me… At Fitzgerald’s tomorrow evening (Friday, June 21st)…
Argh. Well, I started this several hours ago, and then other things intervened, and now here it is late as hell, and I’m behind. sigh. It’s Friday, June 14th, and it’s already a damn busy weekend; here’s what looks & sounds cool to me (and yes, you’ve still got time to get out & see ’em)…
Yes, we’re pretty well on into Saturday, June 8th, I’m afraid — seeing as last weekend was fully devoted to FPSF, yours truly had to spend yesterday & today doing family-type stuff. What can I say?…
Yep, it’s the weekend yet again, and I feel in some ways like I’m still staggering back to my feet after last weekend, with all that FPSF madness… But it’s not last weekend, it’s Fri., June 7th, and we must soldier on…
Quick notice, y’all; there’s a very cool, very worthwhile benefit show being thrown tonight up at Saint Arnold’s Brewery in honor of Houston’s brave firefighters and EMTs. They’re always deserving of our support, to be sure…
So…what’s up this weekend? Isn’t there some kind of big-ass festival thing going on up on the edge of downtown? Could’ve sworn I heard something about that… Anyway. There’s some very cool stuff going on tomorrow, Saturday, June 1st, for those who…
Alright, so it’d be putting it lightly to say that the whole FPSF insanity this coming weekend has consumed my life this week & last, but dammit, there’s a whole world of musical things out there these next few days…
Well into Saturday, May 25th, now, and there’s quite a bit that’s either happening tonight or already going on — take a look below & then get on out into it. Here goes…
I’ll admit it, I’m having a hard time focusing on shows coming up this weekend, considering that next weekend is Summer Fest, but okay, I’ll admit it — there’s still some really great stuff going on between now & then…
sigh. This, folks, is what happens when House Stuff interferes with Other Really Important Stuff You Needed To Do Today (“Today,” in this instance, being Saturday, May 18th). The whole freaking day got away from me, despite my best efforts/intentions, and now it’s pretty damn late…
Hey, all — I know it’s been somewhat quiet over here in recent days; sorry about that, but yours truly’s been pretty well snowed-under by multiple things, and blog postings tend to fall by the wayside. sigh…
Dangit, I knew I was going to do that; somehow I completely missed out on posting about a cool-ass show going on tonight (Fri., May 10th, that is). The White Swan‘s got a very cool lineup tonight, especially with electro-pop (I think?) crew {Tigerparty} and excellent, excellent newcomers {Valens}, who have a new album out […]
Running behind due to family illnesses & whatnot, I’m afraid; it’s been a rough week yet again, and the past 24 hours has been pretty much the worst part…sigh. There’s still plenty going on, but before we get into it, I’m sad to report that tonight’s Art Car Ball over at The Orange Show has been cancelled…
Hey, all — moving slow today, after a long, long, looooong day spent solo with our youngest, taking him to see snakes at the Zoo, taking him on the METRORail for the first time, up into downtown, wandering around inside the Exxopolis “luminarium” with him, letting him jump around in the water park at Discovery Green…
Busy, busy day coming up, on into Saturday, May 3rd — there’s a ton going on, so much that I’m not going to have time to really talk about even most of it. But hell, let’s hit the highlights; here’s what I’m thinking looks & sounds cool…
It’s that time again — Friday, and this time it’s Friday, May 3rd, with a decent-sized pile of good stuff going on. Not as much as some recent Fridays, it’s true, but hey, quality counts…
Yep, it’s Sunday, April 28th, and I hope everybody out there survived yesterday’s deluge; we took in a couple whose SUV got swamped while they were headed to their engagement party, and that ended up being our primary excitement of the evening. But hey, the weather’s holding off so far…
On into Saturday, April 27th, today, and again, there’s a crapload of good stuff happening. Here’s what looks/sounds good to me…
What a freaking week; looking back over the past handful of days, I feel like I’ve been sucked down a black hole that absorbs all attempts at progress and work and usefulness without even a goddamn sound. Part of that’s due to me losing a whole day this past Wednesday…
