this week’s Houston events calendar for june 11-17, 2012 ended up being fuller than i expected. i’m excited about ALL of the goings on in Houston the week and hope to make it to more than a few events. you’ll see makenzie or me at the east side social center on monday night, the film screening on tuesday (maybe even the ancient cat show – if i can make it in time), wednesday food not bombs, belly dancing-yoga class on thursday (unless i end up going to BINGO), FREE yoga on friday, some of the art openings, the manichean show at the alley (and the free rad’s show if i can make it to both).

i’ll take my camera, as always, and try to post pictures from all the events i attend. that way if you can’t make it to something, you can live vicariously through Pancho and Leftey. take time to enjoy this city. WE LOVE HOUSTON.
