Hey Friend!!

Let me first start by saying HAPPY NEW YEAR! It's 2018 and I'm excited for everything that this year has in store.

I am often asked questions like: What's there to do on a Thursday night? I have friends in town, what can we do? Are there any cool events happening this week? So, I've decided to help answer some of those questions right here for you! Every Tuesday I will post a few cool events that are happening around the city that I think you should check out.

Here's What's Happening This Week...

The Project Fashion Show: Tag Team Entertainment will hosts its Fourth Annual "The Project Fashion Show." This fashion show will highlight designers from Houston, Washington, D.C., and Louisiana in a neon classic vibe created by Tag Team Entertainment. The designers are able to showcase their work and network top bloggers, business owners, and buyers. The Project Fashion Show also values the importance of giving back to the community; a portion of proceeds will be donated to their nonproft, "Donate A Meal" and will help provide furnishings for two families that lost everything during Hurricane Harvey.
