SpringFest: Houston’s Weekend of Art, Wine & Old Town Spirit
Any Houston native knows that Houstonians are suckers for the finer things in life– and wine and art may be two of the finest. That’s why the city dedicates a weekend of each year to enjoying both, with “SpringFest.”
SpringFest is one of four major community events put on by the historical suburb of Old Town [...]
The HJFF: Houston Says Shalom! to Great Jewish Film
While Texas has a relative small Jewish population (42,000 as of the 2000 census), Jewish Texans have a uniquely rich and colorful heritage. From fighting in the Texas Revolution to Stanely Marcus founding Neiman Marcus in Dallas, the Jewish population has been integral in shaping Texas history and helping define what it means to be [...]
This Month: Help StubDog.com Help Haiti

The Other Mardi Gras: Carnaval Goes Stateside
When most people think of Mardi Gras, a.k.a. “Fat Tuesday,” they inevitably think of booze and beads on the streets of New Orleans. But there’s a south-of-the-Equator party city whose pre-Lent debauchery easily puts the Big Easy to shame: Rio de Janeiro.
From breathtaking beaches to the skimpiest swimwear on the planet, Rio is known for [...]
Off-Broadway Hit STOMPs Back to Houston
What began as two buskers performing on the streets of Brighton, England has become a global off-broadway sensation that is still going strong after a decade and a half. Now in its sixteenth year, touring percussion hit STOMP has performed in more than 350 cities and 36 countries around the world, continuing to be met [...]
The New ‘Tom Green Show’: Tom Green’s Return to Standup
Any Gen Y-er who watched television in the 90s remembers Tom Green, the obnoxious yet hilarious Canadian darling of MTV who defined TV pranking and gross-out humor.
But today, Tom Green’s glory days as an MTV icon have long since passed, and after a somewhat embarrassing stint on “Celebrity Apprentice,” many would say the comic has [...]
FAC, Glasstire Kick Off Another Year of ‘Fresh’ Art
Choosing a single organization that defines Houston’s super-diverse art scene might very well be impossible…But if we had to narrow it down to two, Fresh Arts and Glasstire would seem like pretty solid choices.
The Fresh Arts Coalition is a collective of small and mid-sized Houston-based arts organizations. Founded shortly after 9/11 when most art scenes [...]
Haute Hobbies: The Houston Hobby Center
Judging solely from its name, one would expect the Houston Hobby Center to be a quaint community center that hosts quilting bees and scrap-booking parties. But upon seeing the HHC, a visitor quickly realizes that it’s anything but a place for Texan soccer moms to do arts and crafts. Made of 60-foot sheets of glass, [...]
Texas on the Art World Map: The MFAH
Uninformed residents of LA and NYC might scoff at the suggestion that Houston is one of America’s premier cities for fine art. But the cultural loss would be theirs, for having never visited the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, one of the country’s largest and most impressive art museums, founded nearly a century ago and [...]
