On hiatus

posted 2012-01-09T16:54

For various reasons, the time has come once again to put the blog on hiatus. I’m not sure if it’s for a few days, a few weeks, a few months, or if I’m going to come back and say this month’s Monthly LOVIEE was the last. I’m not going to try to put an ETA on the return right now, because I’m just not in the mood.

The biggest reason is that there is simply no point in updating the site right now. I still have recaps of events from October I wanted to post, and the past few months are not an example of how this site is supposed to be run.

2012-01-01/31 Monthly LOVIEE

posted 2012-01-03T13:12 last mod. 2012-01-09T16:49

At long last, the new year is here. I know the list is a bit thin right now but I had a couple of events I wanted to be sure got posted today, including one I barely found out about in time to post here. I will be adding to these as the month goes on, and will probably begin posting the weekly LOVIEEs again by the end of January. Please check back either here or on the Facebook page as the month goes on for updates.

Continuing Through Sunday 01-22

Ice at Discovery Green, Discovery Green Park, see website for hours/days of operation, $10+tax including skate rental. Kinder Lake is transformed into an outdoor ice skating rink. Great for homesick northern transplants, or those who just want an ice skating fix and don’t feel like fighting Galleria area traffic. 11/12-IADG

OTH: Canned Acoustica Turns One (11-M12-6)

posted 2011-12-17T13:50

This is less of an “on the horizon” event (usually this feature is for events a month or more away) as a “we’re about to run into it” event (next week). I had planned to get this up last week at the latest. So I’m bending “the rules” a bit as I wanted to make sure everyone who regularly follows the blog knows this is happening.

As hard as it is to believe it has been a full year since the very first Canned Acoustica at Warehouse Live, it has been. This upcoming show next Thursday marks the fifth installment in the long running series. The price of admission this time around is four cans of non-perishable food items for the Houston Food Bank, who has made a list of their most needed items avaiable. The star-studded lineup features the following acts (links are to official website except as noted):

Doors will open at 7pm. You may RSVP if you like on the Facebook event page (some of the past Canned Acoustica events, particularly the first, have had the set times posted there, but some have not). If you don’t know how to get to Warehouse Live, it’s at 813 St. Emanuel, which is between Rusk and Walker (take Rusk to St. Emanuel and turn right if you’re coming from downtown). See you there!

2011-12-05/31 Monthly LOVIEE

posted 2011-12-09T07:52 last mod. 2011-12-17T13:52

Rounding out the year are the following events, mostly related to the holiday season in some form. I may or may not get around to a New Year’s Eve LOVIEE, I will try my best but time to post to this blog is at a premium right now (I still have at least three recaps that need writing and posting).

Additions and updates will be made as the month goes on. Please check back if you don’t find what you’re looking for.

Houston Ballet presents The Nutcracker, Wortham Center, see website for dates and ticket availability. Tchaikovsky’s timeless ballet has become virtually synonymous with the holiday season.
