::Hot Town, Cool City Screening at Miller Outdoor Theater::

We told you about this project when it first started last year, and we were there for the 3 day long premiere at the MFA back in March. So you can safely bet we will be at Miller Outdoor Theater tonight for a showing of Hot Town, Cool City, a documentary that explores Houston's lesser known gems.

On the surface Houston is about big oil, NASA, big medicine, big sports, big freeways, hot summers, and humidity. Behind that facade is a network of Cool— Houston is down to earth but still international, sophisticated, cutting edge, avant-garde and world class. The new documentary, Hot Town, Cool City, attempts to answer the question- Why Houston?

We are big fans of this movie, and of the accompanying website, that allows you to share your own gems in the city with a neato interactive map.
Click here to see a 3 min teaser of the movie. But just trust us, you'll want to catch the whole thing.
