Rule, Brittaniea! I told you these were unprotected waters
I wanna hold em like they do in Texas Plays
Gaga just played two sold-out nights in Houston. I went Sunday night for work. You can read my review here. Her music is mindlessly fun. But when she talks about her mission to free her fans of their insecurities, and when she talks about her relationship with her parents, she seems 100% legit, vulnerable and [...]
Business Woman Special
I did not invent Post-It Notes (although I adore them), but tomorrow I’m going to try and pull this off: Two years and some change ago I had one of the best nights of my life as a music lover in Houston. Dengue Fever was playing the Orange Show, and I caught them for the [...]
Chick Habit
Just a little yé-yé to tide you over until I can actually write something. I got back from (beautiful, glorious) Florida Monday evening and promptly took over for my wonderful editor at the paper, who is taking his own much-needed vacation, Tuesday morning. I am busy beyond belief and I am actually between trips — [...]
High brow vs. low brow
This weekend felt like it lasted forever. CLH has been busy trying to get his ’63 VNB running for Amerivespa, and I had two parties to go to in one day. Add to that the Buffett concert Thursday and two separate classes at Sheila Kelley’s S Factor (a.k.a. stripper school) and it was a busy [...]
I wish I had a pencil-thin mustache
Why yes, that is me, doing a down-down from a hallowed-out lawn flamingo while tailgating at a sold-out Jimmy Buffett concert. Here is my review from my first-ever Jimmy Buffet concert. I regret to inform you that I might now be a Jimmy Buffett fan. I am certainly no Parrothead, but I had a working [...]
I can spot a lie from a mile away
I found this funny little post, 5 Things You Should Know Before Dating a Journalist, to be accurate and entertaining. And No. 3 is mostly true.
On the blue
Wednesday I wrote a post for The Press about the 40th anniversary of the KKK bombing our local Progressive radio station, a radio station that is situation in a house in my neighborhood, just two blocks ways from me. Wednesday night I was going through my Google Reader and I came across this post on [...]
On editorial license
As I mentioned yesterday, I have had some shitty editors in my life. I have also had some great ones. I think I’ve cried in front of just about every one of them. My current editors are pretty awesome — so awesome that I have sent a letter to their bosses and their bosses’ bosses [...]
Sweet, sweet Connie was doin’ her act
OMFG I hung out with Pamela Des Barres last night. Here she is with honky-tonker Mike Stinson. In the early years of college a friend turned me on to the now-defunct website Groupie Central (accessible by the magic of the Internet Archive). That started an obsession with the phenomenon of groupies, fueled by my already [...]
Pawdrophenia
My first slideshow ever went live on the Houston Press website last night, pictures from Jen’s third annual Pawdrophenia scooter ride benefiting SMART Animal Rescue. I fell in love love love with a pug with a bum leg but CLH would never let me take home another dog. He was so sweet. His name was [...]
