2010-02-22/28 Weekly LOVIEE

Last week I mentioned an announcement coming down the pipe. It’s still coming, it’s just that a few things are in flux right now.

You’ll notice this LOVIEE looks a lot more like the ones from the month or so after wide launch. I’m going back to a more inclusive format. The best changes are yet to come; more details will be coming later in the week (for real this time).

Tuesday 02-23

Band of the Irish Guards, Jones Hall, 615 Louisiana, 7:30 pm, $22-$57. In over a century of the band’s existence, the Band of the Irish Guards has never toured the United States until now. This is the Houston stop on the tour. Presented by the Society for the Performing Arts. 10-W09-1

Wednesday 02-24
