Events In and Around Midtown Houston-October 08

Cooler days will be here again, making it easier to persuade your family, crew or group to take daily jogs, jaunts or just hanging-out in and around Midtown Houston.

There's lots of cost-free activities for groups or individuals to participate in or just sit back, relax and observe.

Topping my schedule of "things to do" in October, are three events that anchor the Discovery Green "Entertainment Series," Art in the Park, Fresh Fridays and Sunday's in the Park.

Art in The Park

The artist from the Community Artist Collective will be at Discovery Green 5-7 pm every Thursday, helping Houstonians wake up their creative juices by providing basic art instruction.

Here's a unique opportunity to meet members of (C.A.C) the collective, who are some of the areas most talented artist.

It's not just a place to dump the kids while you shop, aspiring artist of every age-group are invited. A limited amount of supplies will be available for about 20 people that may want a few pointers on how to awaken the artist within.

Fresh Fridays Presented by the Fresh Arts Coalition,

Two of Houston's best-loved performance groups, Mildred's Umbrella and the Dominic Walsh Dance Theater, serve up two of Shakespeare's classic works.

Mildred's Umbrella, puts their spin on " A Midsummer Night's Dream" starring Bottom and his "rude mechanicals."

Walsh's troupe offers a preview of the tragedy Titus Andronicus, before taking it to the Hobby Center stage, next week.

Sundays in the Park

Wind down after the weekend, in Houston's urban playground Sunday afternoon, 3-5 pm.

The divine rhythm, united motion (D.R.U.M.) African percussion ensemble, brings-on their world music sound to spread peace love and happiness.

The repertoire of these international musicians is an eclectic brand of traditional drum suites, sprinkled with storytelling that surely can chase away stress or the blues of "back to work Monday's."

Midtown Shopping

You never want to go grocery shopping when you are hungry so Sat 01/05/08 start your day at the Breakfast Klub and get your eat on. Don’t forget to visit Kross The Street Marketplace they have an eclectic selection of goods from scented candles to jewelry for your shopping pleasure.

01/05 is also our first Saturday of the month and the Midtown Farmer's Market will be operating beginning at 08:00 AM, T'afia Restaurant 3701 Travis Street @ Alabama, on the big block.

The farmers market is Midtowns best source for buying locally grown produce. Their greens are not just the greenest in color, all of their produce is really greener than most others you buy in the store because, they don’t have to be trucked in from the California or the valley here in Texas, thus they reduce the emissions from the trucks that would have transported these produce from across the country.


Even if you belong to the COAST TO COAST AM WITH GEORGE NOORY fan club and you don't believe all the hype about global warming, you must admit that we may not be able to undo the past, but we should try to leave this planet in a better state of condition than currently exist, for future generations.
