Running Late
No time to say hello, goodbye - we’re late, we’re late, we’re late. The week has already started, the clock’s already moving, and somehow you’re still catching up. Houston is up to its usual tricks, hiding events in plain sight, urging you to hurry up and slow down at the same time.
Anyway, here are some events!
Tuesday, 02/17
Grown Up Storytime | 8:00 PM
Continental Club | 3714 Main St
It’s that time of the month again, when we all gather in a music venue to hear people read stories written by other people in an expression of creativity and togetherness and stuff. GUST is a good time, so get your tickets, grab a drink, and enjoy the evening.
Don’t forget to support GUST in their efforts to keep the show rolling out by donating or buying a season pass.

Interval | 4:00 - 8:00 PM
Someone’s house, I think | 3822 Luca St
Curated by our dear friend Jessi Bowman, Interval is a one-day exhibition exploring the pause between moments through photography and mixed media. It features work by Kaima Marie Akarue, Keliy Anderson-Staley, William Bossen, & Simon Silva as well as a performance by Isabella Mireles Vik with Emily Wang (both of Aufheben fame).
T Lavois Thiebad & Joe Wozny & Únies Gonzalez | 8:00 PM
Stinson House | 2718 Ruth St
Head on over to Nick’s house for an evening of poetry, music, bread, and other such things. T Lavois will perform spoken work among soundscapes while Joe plays guitar I assume. I’m not sure what Únies will be doing, but she seems rad from our limited interactions.
