This past week, the Astros released their All-Decade team, highlighting their best players from 1999-2009. All the familiar names were present: Bagwell, Biggio, Berkman, Oswalt and Lidge all got their proper recognition. And while that’s all well and good, a hearty reminder of the glory days of the mid-Aughts, we figured that there’s also been enough mediocrity to spread around, too. more ›

Suchu Dance's Ella Paradise premieres tonight at Barnevelder Theater and will run for the next two weekends.

For the weekend of March 18th - 21st, 2010 While we may be up in Austin this weekend, that doesn't mean we took the music with us. There's an avalanche of shows in good ol' H-town, so go see a few and help some of the touring bands make a buck or two. Life on the road is tough, folks. more ›
