Things to do this weekend....

I decided that being that summer break is upon us this weekend would be a good time for me to return to my old stomping grounds in League City,TX. I am a native Houstonian but during my high school years found myself in the little town but moved back to the H after my senior year.Tomorrow and Saturday will be dedicated to the beach and 21st birthdays for a few of my good friends with a return Saturday night to the Grab Bar closing party.There are a lot of shows/parties going down so if you need something to do here are a few ideas:

























The grab party I already know will be ridiculous,it's the last weekend that it will be open so bring yourself on out!!Also there will be an after party for the Radiohead show that everyone but me is going to because I suck at life....

No Flyer but this was the email that was fowarded to me:

Subject: TURBO RECORDS TOUR w/ D.I.M / OCELOT / BIRD PETERSON @ #'s
Body: Ok Houston, once again i am going to bring some AMAZING new dance music artists to Houston, once again i am asking for your support !!!! Come out to this party, show me you want more of this!!!! If you are sick of seeing the same old artists week in and week out and wonder why the hell no one brings this stuff to town.. well... because it's up to you to support it.

Featuring
Ted Leo and the Pharmacists
and
COMMON!!!!!!!

i have yet to see Common live and I'm sure a show in his hometown will be a million times better than a show anywhere else ya dig???I will be taking photos:)

Did I mention the best part? I will be staying with my oldie but goodie friend Courtney from Creek :)
She's fab!


anyway hope everything goes well for everyone this weekend I'm not working tomorrow for once so we are already off to a good start:)
