Thresher’s guide to arts and entertainment in Houston
New to the city? Unsure how to spend your time procrastinating on homework? You’re in luck — Houston is a playground if you know where to look, and most of it is an easy metro ride or short commute from campus. Here’s a starter pack of spots that deliver fresh air, brain food and the occasional “wait, this is in Houston?” moment.
Thresher’s Lollapalooza report: Who ruled Grant Park?
Chicago’s Grant Park ran on pure dopamine this weekend — surprise debuts, late-but-worth-it arrivals, confetti, fireworks and at least three mass sing-alongs an hour. From Joey Valence & BRAE road-testing new indietronica to A$AP Rocky cracking open his vault, T-Pain turning the field into karaoke and Olivia Rodrigo summoning Weezer, Lollapalooza felt like a live-wire mixtape. Doechii built a universe, TWICE made history and Sabrina signed off with a superstar-cementing finale. Here’s what actually lived up to the skyline.
“Ginny & Georgia” Season 3: A Messy, Magnetic Villain Origin Story
I’ll admit it: I came into “Ginny & Georgia” expecting another glossy Netflix soap that looks great in a weekend binge but evaporates from memory by Monday. By the end of season three, I realized I’d been doing something I rarely do with shows like this: I was taking notes. Not on the plot (though it’s as twisty and outrageous as ever), but on the characters. I loved them. I was grinning from ear to ear watching them scheme, stumble and monologue their way through impossible situations. That’s when I knew: this show had done something right.
