Westheimer Block Party October 12, 2007

The Westheimer Block Party, Free Press Houstons twice yearly quasi-festival, returns this fall on Saturday October, 13th to its usual home on the 300-500 block of Westheimer road. Present will be the usual array of undergrounds artists, 50+ bands, performers of all strains, and lizard-toting revelers. Last Mays Block Party was our most successful with more than 4,000 attendees, excellent local reviews, and a great time had by all. Nonetheless, this falls event will host a slew of new elements with Overgrown, an outdoor installation exhibit that examines Houstons burgeoning and destructive culture of expansion. Also, the Abstraction Art Show will feature an exhibit of local artists in the newly renovated Avant Garden (formerly Helios). Notably, the event will host Houstons 1st Solar Powered stage at Numbers courtesy of Armadillo Solar. (What can we say? After trashing the city for nearly 5 years with the rubbish of tabloid print, we feel like we should make a token gesture.) The Block Party will be home to 6 stages of live music at Numbers, Avant Garden, La Strada, and Mangos Cantina. Interspersed between all the great local music will be live painting, exhibits of all sorts, and many cash and carry artist booths. Free Press openly invites artists to bring their works to the festival where space will be provided free of charge. Just bring a table.
