This IMPULSIVE Week, November 8 through 15th

Don’t miss the Garage Sale in St. Philips Parking Lot, benefiting the newly formed Houston Cecilia Chamber Choir! The debut performance was phenomal to say the least, but my opinion is biased as I am on the board and a part of the ensemble.
Also, Impulse Artist Series is in full swing this week with a plethera of live performances and events. If you are looking for a fun evening out to explore Houston, check out Chris Becker at the local clubs under Impulse. Also. and you will have to look at this to believe it, the toy piano virtuosity of this highly accomplished professional musician can be found here also. I will not go into details on that one, but it does involve fried eggs also.
COVNET convocation in Houston this past week was a huge success! Met a lot of new people and visited with some old friends.
On Friday, I have been invited to an Art Opening at the Museum of Fine Arts here in Houston. It promises to be a great evening of guest artists exibiting some very new and avant garde works. As this is one of my first soiree’s into the artstic culture in Houston, considering casual business, high artsy or just jeans and boots for the exhibition. Houston Museum of Fine Arts is becoming world renowned as an epicenter of artistic development in many genre’s and I am happy to be a part of this arts scene now.
Also, make your plans now for the Messiah Sing A Long coming up in December (quele surprise) at St. Philips Presbyterian and that zanny conductor there, Dr. Justin Smith, is planning some other outside the box events I am sure you will like. Maybe the Galleria will never be the same!
We are doing house cleaning for the garage sale coming up and also the possiblity of a yard/garage sale here also to raise funds for ourselves. Ingenuity in these economic times leads to entreprenuers on every corner, at least that is what that man in the old cadillac that had set up shop said last night
I am beginning to audition pianist’s for a newly developing chamber ensemble concept here in Houston. The Impulse Series Artist Development Seminar on Saturday had people there from walks of the arts world and some very good speakers facilitating interesting discussions. The Culture Calendar put out by Spacetaker is a wonderful resource for any avid or even not so avid artsy person to find outlets to enjoy or express their innermost desires.

Also, for those that are looking for something outside the loop in Houston, check out El Matador Happy Hour and for the weekend festivities. Some really good karaoke and live entertainment happens here along with great food and interesting people. A real gathering place for the artsy fartsy type. Recipe of the week….
