i’m back in houston and am so psyched about all the great events this week. ya my trip to the UK was full of new scenery and new foreign friends – but nothing beats the last weeks of summer in your home town – especially if your home town happens to be the one and only HOUSTON, TEXAS. get ready for a white linen night/ rosalie haus party blog post later in the week featuring a dena + makenzie reunion. and as always, please oh please feel free to a.) leave a comment with more weekly events b.) email me (panchoandleftey@gmail.com) and i’ll edit the post and add your event or c.) link this event calendar on your own corner of the internet. monday july 30, 2012
