We are back from a very busy few days at Comicpalooza. We do have pics for you and will share them soon. Thanks so much to the Star Wars community in Houston that really showed out at the convention. We also happy that the gentleman who was injured during the Full Steel combat was able to get up after. We hope he is okay and thanks so much for everyone that was there that helped out after the in ring showdown.

Thanks to all the cosplayers we met. You looked wonderful! Thank you to all the creators and authors present at the convention especially our Houston locals who we will talk about in detail in future issues.

Here are some up coming events. Until next time!

This group is open to anyone interested in the Houston Film scene. If you are looking to get out and enjoy the company of actors, producers, editors, and other production aspects then come mix and mingle with us. This group allows you the opportunity to meet other people in film, make lasting friendships & enjoy fun helping each other on your creative ideas. Come get into the Action!

Please help support our new location. Bad Astronaut Brewing Co. is generously helping the film community by hosting us in their space, so please help support them.

Calling all cute girlies who just want to make friends and drink wine--oh and also enjoy reading the occasional book here and there! This is not a book club where we'll discuss women's place in the world or how to grow and empower women (totally love that, but it's not the goal here)--this is the book club for girls that want to have a glass of wine and debate things like which Fairy book character sounds hotter. We read for fun and to have light hearted conversations, and honestly making friends as an adult is hard! Let's read something fun that makes us forget the doom and gloom of the world and have some fun conversations and hopefully develop some lasting friendships! <3
