i had an interview yesterday for a new hip houston podcast (put on by some way cool folks). it was a mega honor to be invited on as the FIRST guest, and although it won’t be streamable for another month or so, it gave me a new perspective on the work i do here at panchoandleftey and burst of energy regarding blogging and my place as a houston culture blogger. so get ready for more follow up event posts + pictures of me out and about + reviews of things around town. as always – leave me a comment and//or talk to me in person if you see me in real life.

remember last month when the sunday streets happened on the east side? makenzie and i beat the rain and checked out the new houston makerspace location + toured TXRX’s newest shops in their space. (kinda wish we would have gone later on two wheels and hung out with all our guys on bikes friends – but we went early for the goodie bags). i love love loved the jewelry classes i took from claire webb at makerspace last year (i’m wearing two of the rings i made as i type this) and for my next thing i get interested in // get obsessed over // master and move on …. calligraphy! anyone else want to take an intro class with me?

weirdest thing about the TXRX tour was walking into their bike workshop and seeing my old wheel – the one that got run over when i was hit by a truck a few years ago. (don’t remember that? read about it + see pictures of my butt HERE) i knew the bike tour group made 1000 paper cranes to hang off it but didn’t know where it went. so that was weird.
