For the weekend of November 19th - 22nd, 2009
The weekend before Thanksgiving is certainly a popular one for events, and this year is no different - Art Crawl, Via Colori, Spacetaker's WHAM, a You[Genious] release party, some art openings and a whole smattering of other happenings are going on this weekend. Houstonist supposes that no one wants to try to fight the holiday weekend. We're not complaining, but it certainly has our concert calendar full.
We expect nothing less from you tonight than to make an appearance at the latest installment in 29-95's stellar free Thursday series at The Continental Club. This week's show features Grandfather Child, whose praises we can be found singing quite frequently - they'll take you to church [and not like that time your mom found you... well you know]. Then we'll try to slip down to Willy's Pub at Rice quick enough to catch the ever-entertaining Fat Tony.
Houstonist would really like to go see just how dirty Bob Saget can be on Friday, but we don't have the pocket change lying around to feed his coke habit, er, buy tickets. We plan on catching some "Texas Vato-Billy" at Rudyard's.
Saturday is jam-packed. After hitting up Art Crawl, the WHAM [which will also have music but we don't know who & when], Via Colori, and Cactus Music, Houstonist is going to head over the the good ol' Orange Show for some smooth talk courtesy of You[Genious]. Spain Colored Orange [who will be having a rather busy weekend] will be sitting in as his live backing band, The Misfits of R&B. Fat Tony will be there too, so we wouldn't dream of missing it. We heard a rumor that students & wearers of Hawaiian shirts [it's luau-themed] will gain entry for a meager five bones.
Houstonist recommends topping off your weekend by stopping by Via Colori's impressive Sunday lineup [Buxton, Wild Moccasins and Elaine Greer back-to-back? Yes, please!] before catching our favorite red-headed songstress, Neko Case, at Warehouse Live.
Let us know where you'll be, and if you know something that's not on the calendar [like that WHAM lineup].
