November

As the 2012 Presidential election campaign continues, David Mamet's November offers audiences a fiendishly funny, over-the-top, no-holds-barred take on American politics. Unfolding in one day, just days before a national election and with poll numbers "lower than Gandhi's cholesterol," President Charles Smith (Alley Company Artist John Tyson), the most corrupt and inept buffoon to sit in the Oval Office, sets his sight on a second-term. With his usual acerbic wit and edgy social commentary, Mamet's latest masterpiece is a gleeful cornucopia of corruption and political incorrectness full of shady backroom schemes like Thanksgiving turkeys awaiting pardon and an American Indian lobbyist who wants to turn Nantucket into a gambling resort that will leave you laughing out loud. "Extremely funny" (The New York Times), November "rollicks from one politically incorrect punch line to the next" (San Francisco Chronicle).
Recommended for mature audiences due to language and thematic content.

The Houston Social Source Taste the Tequila Night



September 11



6:00 PM – 8:00 PM



Maria Selma Restaurant



1617 Richmond Ave Houston, TX 77006



Put on your big boy pants because this ain’t no fancy wine tasting. Come down to one of our favorite Mexican food restaurants and be treated like an amigo as HSS hosts its first Tequila Tasting.



Our neigbors to the south have been perfecting this libation for hundreds of years and its time you were able to discern the different notes between brands, growing regions and altitude variations. There really is no better way to spend a Tuesday night – good friends, really good drinks and just a teeny bit of education.



* Free parking in the lot



How could you pass that up? Tasting is free to HSS Members and $10 for Non-Members. Not a member, not a problem, just visit
houstonsocialsource.com and discover the possibilities, or call 713-630-0546.
