It’s that time of the year again, Coogs.  Coogs Choose.  What is Coogs Choose, and what’s the point?  Coogs Choose is a yearly (and occasionally bi-yearly) duel to the death between the best Cougar-serving businesses, orgs and people, all fighting to be named #1 in their category.   Well, not to the death, but...

Madison Sinclair’s life rapidly changed when TikTok turned an inside joke into a full-fledged business. BUGGIRL200 is now famous for their novelty, ironic t-shirts and accessories.

Tony Nguyen put down his headphones, someone’s voice still jutting out of that heavy-set device, ready for our interview to begin.  Nguyen moved from Minnesota to Houston in 2017 after graduating high school.

“To know how it ends and still begin to sing it again, as if it might turn out this time.”  We tell the tale of Orpheus and Eurydice over and over again, in different languages, in different circumstances and with different characters. Hadestown is such a story, taunting the audience to suspend their disbelief for...
