Last Chance To See 600 sq mi: Hidden
Missed Connections: Gefilte Fish...and "Chain Connections"
H-Town Rock
Rock Talk, Vol. IX
We forewarned you a couple of weeks ago.
We gave you another heads up a few days ago.
With less than 24 hours left, you had better made up your mind about whether or not you’re going to the The Free Press' Westheimer Block Party.
The last one was pretty much a rousing success with a blown out generator being the only exception. This year, though, the Free Press has upped the ante by bringing not one but two national acts, one of which has had a place in the hearts of many for a few years and the other on the cusp of blog-reading-hipsters levels of success.
Both And you will know us by the Trail of Dead and HEALTH headline the Block Party’s musical finale at Numbers Nightclub, along with local favorites Spain Colored Orange, By the end of tonight and Young Mammals, for a pittance ($10 to be exact.)
However, If your budget can’t handle forking over a mere Hamilton, you can still enjoy plenty of fine musical acts for free.

Honestly, people. South by South-what?

Are there any plans to try and make the Fest what it once was? You know, multiple outdoor stages, shut down the street, more than one booth selling food...
