houston events calendar: august 24 – 30, 2015
i’m home i’m home and so ready to get back into the swing of going to houston things again. traveling is such a, literally awesome thing, but i always expect things like friends + events to stay on hold until i come back home, but they don’t, they keep moving and evolving while you’re gone and it’s weird to come home to. things aren’t usually where you left them and it takes a little while to get the gears back on track and find the place you fit again. point is this calendar is going to help me feel grounded this week and there are so many good things happening – so yay to seeing y’all out there. also – what the heck the lastpegstar show at fitz looks so SO good. i bought a ticket on a whim last night, so thought i’d ask, anyone from the internet want to go with me? (also like this photo? it’s me at my zen retreat center – keep checking back here for more kentucky + tennessee trip posts this week)
