It’s Friday y’all!! There is so much happening this weekend that this poor little newsletter can barely keep up. I’m talking art, festivals, shows, random plans that turn into the best night ever… all of it. Do yourself a favor and actually click through the site because there’s way more waiting for you than I could fit here.

And while we’re on the topic of festivals and beautiful experiences… you need to enter this. We’re giving you a chance to win a full Electric Forest 2026 moment, and I mean the full thing—passes, camping, travel, all of it. If disappearing into the woods with unreal music and vibes sounds like your thing, this is your sign.*

KENDALL ROBINSON GIVES YOU HIS TOP 6 FAVORITE GYMS IN HOUSTON

Finding a good gym in Houston can feel like a workout in itself, between packed floors and limited equipment. So we asked coach Kendall Robinson to cut through the noise. With over a decade of experience training clients and building strong fitness communities, he’s sharing five gyms that actually deliver, whether you’re chasing serious strength, better space, or a place that feels like home. Check out his list and let’s do it!

THIS WEEKEND

LOCALS ONLY

• Okay wait this is actually so cute. Over 400 of Houston’s boring traffic control boxes have been turned into mini murals by local artists, and your everyday drive just got a glow up. It’s such a simple idea but makes the city feel way more alive. Next time you’re out, start looking around because you’re probably passing little pieces of art without even realizing it.

• We’re updating our list of Local Artists that you should be listening to in Houston, so if thats you (or someone you know) send us their info at [email protected] so we can include them!
