On Monday Houstonist posted about Stick Em Up a blog and documentary about the art of wheat-pasting in Houston.

It should be a nice relaxed weekend for enjoying the great outdoors. Here's what Houstonist has in store for ourselves:

Craft Night has become a bimonthly happening over at Caroline Collective, and while in it's early stages the event was mostly an excuse for crafty types to get together and work on personal projects, it's now become a more community-minded event, with local arts organizations offering creative how-tos, and local creatives offering their skills for those organizations.

Busy weekend a-comin'. Today is the unlucky day, tomorrow is the love day, and Monday is President's Day. If you have some time off, Houstonist has some ideas for you.
