Mostly self-induced. October is looking much better. I’m going camping for 4 days…wish me luck. Then headed out to LA with my partner in crime to catch both Body & Soul and Deep in the same weekend! What else is on tap? Ezel on the 24th, the season’s final “Steel Lounge Underground” on the 30th (Badbwoy BMC, Little Martin & Peekaboo Theory) and then Rent on the 31st. Ain’t no stopping us now.

“Steel Lounge Underground” is this Friday, August 28th at Contemporary Arts Museum Houston from 8p-11p….DJ Drew, Eddie Spettro, and a live performance by Tax the Wolf. This a free all-ages community event!

It’s been some time since Houston has been blessed with the music of Sista Stroke. If you have never had the pleasure of hearing her DJ and experience the energy she brings then you really shouldn’t miss this show! For those who do know this woman…then you already know and you will be in the house. We hope to see you all there!

Always be asking yourself this question.

So, are you familiar with the 70’s comedy show routine with the guy and the pretty lady who spins glass plates on sticks until they all fall?

That’s kinda what my life is like.
