Okay, so, it's January and it's been hitting the 70's all week (degrees, that is...not the era). We've had to restrain ourselves from whacking all of the dead vegetation in the yard. It's still much to early for that, we're waiting for Valentine's, nothing says "love" like a good pair of garden loppers. So, since it's so marvelous outside, we need a refreshing cocktail for our weekend.

Want to support the local arts scene in Houston, but wish there was more liquor involved in your patronage? Then head over to Beaver's Icehouse tonight for the kickoff of Cultured Cocktails from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Sponsored by New Living and Spacetaker, this series of happy hours held each Thursday will benefit a different arts non-profit group each week.
Titus Andronicus, that epic tale of vengeance set in 4th century Rome, is widely-regarded as Shakespeare's most violent play, with rampant and excessive scenes of murder, dismemberment, torture, filicide, rape, exsanguination, blood-filled pies and even the execution of a clown.

If you're still mistakenly laboring under the impression that ballet is dry, dusty and boring, the Dominic Walsh Dance Theater would like the chance to persuade you otherwise.
