Akimbo The Mink / The Back Room Sun., October 12, 8:00pm Montrose
Akimbo would put any longhaired mane in a tangle. The Seattle threesome pounds out riff-heavy, rhythm-conscious tunes meant for head thrashing and fist pumping. The trio's blend of metal and rock caught the attention of Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys) back in 2006, and since then the group has... More >>
Jon Scieszka Blue Willow Bookshop Sun., October 12, 11:00am Outer Loop - SW

... and L.A. Is Burning Main Street Theater - Chelsea Market Sun., October 12, 7:30pm
more dates/times 		Montrose
In the spring of 1992, all of America watched as riots broke out across L.A. after a jury acquitted four white police officers of beating Rodney King, an African American, despite graphic video evidence. In that swirl of rage, playwright Y. York heard a voice ("like a dart, ill-aimed and... More >>
Cyrano de Bergerac, An Heroic Comedy Alley Theatre Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday from Wed., October 8 until Sun., November 2, 7:30pm
more dates/times 		Downtown-Midtown
The play Cyrano de Bergerac inspired Roxanne, that movie featuring Steve Martin with a really big nose. The original work is a more tragic tale about Cyrano, a gifted soldier with the same, um, schnoz. The only thing bigger than his beak is his love for Roxane (who also happens to be his... More >>

Dr. Seuss Wants You! Holocaust Museum Houston Daily from Fri., September 26 until Sun., February 1 Third Ward
It's hard to imagine that the same mind that created the Cat in the Hat, the Lorax and Yertle the Turtle spent time contemplating war and genocide, but it turns out that Dr. Seuss drew many cartoons about some real-life super-grinches: the Nazis. Theodor Seuss Geisel was the head political... More >>

"The Beauty of Disposable Things" The Village Firefly Daily from Fri., October 3 until Fri., October 31 Kirby-West U
You may have noticed that "green" is kind of a hip concept right now, having made Al Gore (of all people) cool, bottled water a public enemy and tossing an aluminum can in the trash practically a felony.
