TxDave Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Cool! I wish I could be there. I used to love the Westheimer Street Festival! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groovehouse Posted April 17, 2006 Author Share Posted April 17, 2006 This will be NOTHING like the Street Festival's of yesteryear. They don't close down Westheimer, these stages will only be around Taft & Westheimer and it's one day only! I'm just glad the Free Press is trying.

dbigtex56 Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Thanks for posting that, groovehouse.I'm glad that the tradition continues. The more manageable scale will probably attract more of the people who actually frequent the neighborhood. Much as I miss the old Westheimer Festival, it had become a behemoth which trampled out the essential qualities it was supposed to celebrate.

groovehouse Posted April 19, 2006 Author Share Posted April 19, 2006 This isn't the "You Get What You Give" Free Radicals, is it?No, that was the New Radicals - this is a funk/jazz/experimental band with plenty of horns, a kick-ass drummer, some dude on 6 string bass and few other musicians thrown in to round it out. They are good! I caught them at Rudyards and they turned it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texas911 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I miss the old Westhiemer Street Fest. Man those were fun. But the city of Houston in its infinite wisdom decided to take control of it and tried to make it into a money maker. Idiots. That's like if the New Orleans goverment started to charge an entrance fee into the french quarter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those of you who were not awake at 7:45, It rained like a mother____er and muddied our festival space enough to where stages could not be set up and sound equipment became a hazard. Our weather manipulation device that we acquired from the Soviets is currently non-functional due to a broken timing belt. We will announce a rain date as soon as reasonably possible; TONIGHT OR TOMMOROW. In the meanwhile, some of the bands/ARTISTS booked fror the fest will play Super Happy Fun Land at 2610 Ashland in the Heights. Give us a call w/any questions: 713 527 0014."IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN PLAYING/DISPLAYING AT SUPERHAPPYFUNLAND TONIGHT, CALL BRYAN AT 713 927 7422BANDS SLATED TO PLAY ARE:PENNY ROYALOTENKIGENERIC TRIBEALL THE BANDS FROM THE SUPERHAPPY MANGO STAGE Edited April 29, 2006 by torvald Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eli Brumbaugh Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 (edited) These guys set up a guerilla art show in one of the locations of the Westheimer Block Party...Looks like they decided to make the most of a bad situation! The artists were Shane Hillman and Eli Brumbaugh of Dirty Sunshine! First of all I wanted to thank you on behalf of myself, and my fellow artist Shane Hillman for posting this about our little show that could. We were at numbers at 9am to make sure we could get a good location and then found out at 10:30 that it was called off. We then decided to through our own untill we were removed. The show lasted untill about 4:30 in which we left for the black widow to set up again there down the street. I would like to thank all of the lovely people who came out and sat and shot the bull with us over a beer and some artwork. We really enjoyed doing this show and plan on doing it again at westfest on the 27th. We will also be expanding on our guerilla art show's into a bi monthly event around montrose. If anyone has any idea to where we coud set up, or should set up please feel free to let me know. elibrumbaugh@gmail.com http://www.dirtysunshine.com/elibrumbaugh http://www.dirtysunshine.com/ http://www.myspace.com/elibrumbaugh my contact information.
