We made it Houston just in time. I was looking for a vintage shop and we made it to Retropolis 10 minutes before it closed. Bryan runs the BOH merch table and usually sports a cool hat. He had forgotten it on this tour so I wanted to help him out. There were not many to choose from and the one I picked was not vintage. He liked it anyway.
The Heights theater doesn’t serve food or snacks so we grabbed a taco from Torchy’s across the street. Saw this converted Cadillac hearse parked in the street. It is now a cat car, I guess.
We had seats for this show (Dallas and Austin were SRO).
Saw the band after the show. I spilled some red wine in the green room which was an epic fail as a guest of the band. Not sure I can make up for it but I will sure try!
We went to the Rothko Chapel on Sunday morning. Not sure how to describe the art in the chapel. No photos are allowed so check the link above. They are very dark gray paintings which seem to pulsate after looking at them for a few minutes. You can see shapes and scenes in what seem to be just dark gray paintings. Definitely worth a visit!
We walked over to the Cy Twombly Gallery next. I want to learn more about him but I saw a lot of pain in his art. I hope that it was therapeutic for him.
These two places are in the Houston museum district which has several all within walking distance from each other. We will be back to explore more of this area. The weather was great in November - can’t handle the Texas summers anymore. 🥵
We went to lunch at an old Dallas favorite, Velvet Taco. I don’t usually go for this kind of taco but I couldn’t pass this up.
It was delicious along with their signature red velvet cake. Patio lunch was a treat plus we got to meet Sonny (good boy!).
