American Graffiti Car Show Alamo Drafthouse Cinema-Mason Park	Sat., November 21, 4:00pm	Outside Houston	Auto Expos Film - Repertory & Special Screenings
For most people, George Lucas's 1973 American Graffiti was just a movie - a really good movie, to be sure, but just a movie. For a few people, though, it became a way of life; these people enjoy cruising around in restored Mustangs and Camaros with the radio on the oldies station, pretending to... More >>

"Hasta La Basura Se Separa [artcrush]" BOX 13 ArtSpace	Every week Saturday from Sat., November 21 until Thu., December 31, 1:00pm-5:00pm	East End	Art Free Events Off The Wall
The 13 artists of "Hasta La Basura Se Separa [artcrush]" are in the business of resurrection. For the sculpture-centric exhibit, they've transformed mostly found or recycled objects from anonymous detritus into meaningful commentary on object identity and border politics. The show was conceived... More >>

35 rhums Museum of Fine Arts, Houston	Sat., November 21, 7:00pm more dates/times	Kirby-West U	Film - Repertory & Special Screenings
The charismatic, striking-looking Gragoire Colin showed off his glistening torso as a French legionnaire in Claire Denis's Beau Travail. But he's practically unrecognizable as Noe, the second lead in Denis's intimate 35 rhums (2008), part of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston's Contemporary World... More >>

Fall Mosaic Barnevelder Movement/Arts Complex	Sat., November 21, 8:00pm more dates/times	East End	Dance Performing Arts
Revolve Dance Company's offering up a bargain - three dance companies for the price of one. The program's called Fall Mosaic, which makes perfect sense, considering Revolve's fusion of ballet, jazz and even hip-hop. The company is the professional arm of North Harris Performing Arts, and it's... More >>

The Story of My Life Theater LaB	Sun., November 22, 5:00pm more dates/times	Heights	Performing Arts Theater
Theatre LaB Houston presents the regional premiere of The Story of My Life. The moving musical centers on a writer, Thomas (played by Stephen Myers), and a bookstore owner, Alvin (John Dunn), who have known each other since childhood. Home to deliver the eulogy at Alvin’s funeral, Thomas... More >>

Runaway Sun Cactus Music and Video	Sat., November 21, 3:00pm	Lower Shepherd-Kirby	Music
There’s a languid viscosity to Runaway Sun’s sound, and it pours out thick and strong on the Houston four-piece’s debut album, The Bridge. Some of that comes from the tendency toward mid-tempo songs, but the real topper is the interplay of Andrew Karnavas’ vocals and Daniel... More >>

Zappa Plays Zappa House of Blues	Sat., November 21, 7:30pm	Downtown/ Midtown	Music
Dweezil Zappa, the oldest son of late avant-garde rock composer Frank Zappa, has been performing songs from his father's career for the past three years on the "Zappa Plays Zappa" tour. The multi-media shows include a wide range of the elder Zappa's material, played by Dweezil and various... More >>

Dwight Yoakam Arena Theatre	Sat., November 21, 8:00pm	Outer Loop - SW	Music
All Dwight Yoakam’s local fans who have been waiting for him to please, please (baby) come back to Houston can now say “Thank you.” When he came racing out of L.A. in a “Long White Cadillac” in the mid-‘80s, the Kentucky-born Yoakam proved you could be a staunch... More >>

AFI, Gallows Verizon Wireless Theater	Sat., November 21, 8:00pm	Downtown/ Midtown	Music
Approaching two decades as a functioning band (with a few admittedly sketchy years in the beginning), AFI is effectively in punk rock for the long haul. The band ushered a million or so people into its cult through 2003's certified platinum Sing the Sorrow with the help of some catchy singles... More >>

Borbetomagus Freneticore Theater	Sat., November 21, 8:00pm	East End	Music
How much noise do you think two saxophonists and a guitarist can make? Okay, now imagine ten times that. Imagine a screeching ululating fuzzed-out roar that reduces your teeth to shards and your internal organs to pulsing red mush. That’s the sound of Borbetomagus. That, and much more. An... More >>

Edgar Winter, Clay Melton Band Dosey Doe Coffee Company	Sat., November 21, 8:30pm	Outside Houston	Music
If you have a thick skull, nimble feet and a proclivity toward violence, you become a prizefighter. If you have a bluesman's soul, a musical family and a tendency toward paleness, you become '70s icon Edgar Winter. Not a bad shake. Three decades on, the Beaumont-born Winter's edgy blend of... More >>

Ian Moore, Hilary York Continental Club	Sat., November 21, 9:00pm	Downtown/ Midtown	Music
Former Ginger Man bartender Hilary York has been in Austin for over a decade now and, at least part time, pursuing a music career. She recently released her second album, In the Dark, a follow-up to 2006’s The Moon. The album features some of Austin’s most sophisticated session... More >>
