#HEATSTROKE 3D at ARCHWAY GALLERY February 6 2016 2305 Dunlavy St. Houston, TX 77006 Archway Gallery presents #Heatstroke 3D, a solo exhibition by mixed media artist Joel Anderson who combines encaustic medium with modern digital elements including 3D printing. The artist will be on hand to visit with guests during the exhibition opening reception on Saturday,
February 6, 2016 at the gallery; included will be an artist’s talk at 6:30 p.m. Encaustic is a medium dating back to the ancient Egyptians which found revival in the mid-1900’s with artists like Jasper Johns and Diego Rivera. Its primary component is beeswax hardened with damar resin. Anderson’s signature technique is the layering of digital imagery under successive
coats of encaustic fused with a blowtorch. This process has now advanced as 3D-printed objects are incorporated into many of his works. It was Anderson’s visit to New York’s Museum of Modern Art that inspired this show, not so much the masterpieces in the upper levels of the museum as the 3D drawing contraption for sale in the gift shop. With a quest to introduce a
3D experience into his artwork, his exploration of depth has evolved through his early work to include the incorporation of 3D printed objects at various levels in his newer pieces.

EVERY DAY IS ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE SOMETHING YOU’LL NEVER FORGET, SO DON’T WASTE A MINUTE. Toyota Center is excited to welcome Cirque du Soleil’s TORUK – The First Flight for 7 shows starting February 11th! Inspired by James Cameron’s AVATAR, a live experience by Cirque du Soleil®, envisions a world beyond imagination set thousands of years before the events depicted in the film. The word Toruk, in the Na’vi language, refers to the great leonopteryx, the mighty red and orange predator that rules the Pandoran sky. Central in Na’vi lore and culture, this fascinating creature is crucial to the Na’vi clans’ sense of destiny and interconnectedness – and is about to be ridden for the very first time by a Na’vi. Comprised by 13 creators under the artistic guidance of Guy Laliberté (Guide) and Jean-François Bouchard, this is one show you won’t want to miss!

The Early Days In 1957, Elvis purchased Graceland, Jackie Robinson retired from baseball, and James R. Cavender opened a little burger joint called Dairy Mart in the small northeast Texas town of Pittsburg. After 8 years in food service, James decided to dip his toe into the entrepreneurial pool by expanding his business interests into retail. In 1965, Cavender’s customers had just three styles of Tony Lama boots to choose from and they were likely to hear the familiar strumming of a Buck Owens song while shopping. Today customers will still hear old classics intermingled with Texas Country. The service and the craftsmanship in the product provided are still ďŹ rst class and there is a whole lot more to choose from when you walk into a Cavender’s store, including hundreds of styles of cowboy boots.
A Family Business Today Cavender’s has become the go-to western wear retailer with a reach spanning eight states. Fortyeight of the 69 stores have roots securely planted in the soil all over the Lone Star State. Cavender’s is still family owned and operated and led by James’ three

sons. Joe, the eldest brother, serves as President of the company, while Mike is VicePresident of Operations, and youngest brother Clay is Vice President of Merchandising. The Cavender’s are always ďŹ rst to credit their success to the dedication and loyalty of their employees. “Our employees work in a team atmosphere, like a family,â€? says Mike. The business model was adopted from their founder and father, whose voice still rings through
the halls of Cavender’s headquarters in Tyler, Texas, half a century later. Their mother, Mrs. Pat, styles and stages each store and no store is complete until it receives her personal touch. She travels to each new location and often, from the top of ladders, adds the charming ďŹ nishing touches to the signature western style. Aside from the operations of the retail giant, the family owns and operates ďŹ ve working ranches throughout Texas and Oklahoma, from which they glean inspiration for their products. Those products include work wear, classic western styles, the latest trends in ladies and men’s fashion, accessories, home dĂŠcor and of course, boots.
The First Fifty Years James provided an excellent model of success and work ethic for his sons to follow. In 1965, when he made the decision to follow his dream, Cavender’s was born and has thrived for 50 years thanks in part to the love and dedication of his children. Here’s to another 50 years of cowboy boots kicking up dust across the great state of Texas. Choose from a huge selection of Western boots, work boots, and casual footwear

after dark
WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN, HOUSTON REALLY HEATS UP. FROM THE BRIGHT LIGHTS OF THE STAGE TO THE LOW LIGHTS OF A DANCE CLUB, THE CITY IS ALIVE WITH MUSIC, LAUGHTER AND EXCITEMENT ALL NIGHT LONG. Jack Doyle, aka “The Gorgeous Gael”, was a young man who left Ireland and became a household name as a heavyweight boxing contender, an actor, and a beautiful tenor on both sides of the Atlantic. In honour of his name, Peter Kingston & David Roche (also from Co Cork in Ireland), came together to bring a new concept of an Irish bar to America – a sharper, edgier, brighter design with a strong emphasis on exceptional food, exquisite cocktails, a strong Whiskey oering and a fantastic array of domestic and crafted beers. The Gorgeous Gael represents everything that is truly great about modern Irish entertainment culture – premium customer service, exceptionally creative, top quality food, adventurous, sophisticated drinks and the best musical entertainment in the world. One thing that has not changed is the Irish spirit of hospitality, and the friendship and camaraderie that is unique to the Irish pub environment.
