houston events calendar: october 15-21, 2012
SURPRISE this “houston event calendar october 15-21” was written + pictures taken in Austin, Tx. but don’t worry, makenzie and i are not moving here. in fact pretty much all we’ve done is A.) only done things we usually do in houston for example: go to buffalo exchange, coffee shops, and taco joints. and B.) complained about parking and the crazy hills and WOW WE LOVE HOUSTON SO MUCH AND MISS IT AND CANT WAIT TO GO HOME TO OUR FAVORITE CITY. hince us being here on a mini-cation-road-trip and still publishing/obsessing over the upcoming events in houston this week. and OH MY are there some good ones. i might be camping with the bf this weekend, which would be WAY fun. but if not there is PLENTY to keep me busy for example: zillions of art things, and plant things, and movie things, and free local music my fav. ok back to “being present in austin”.
