  Last Chance To See 600 sq mi: Hidden

  Hopefully by now you've been able to swing by Xnihilo Gallery and have a look at the wonderful photography exhibition that we put together known as 600 sq mi: Hidden. If, however, you've been too much of a lazy bum or busy bee in the last six weeks, make sure you catch it this weekend before it is too late.

• Missed Connections: Gefilte Fish...and "Chain Connections"

  Each week Houstonist checks out Missed Connections on Craiglist. Here's a few that we found interesting.

• Houstonist Bartender: Salty Dog

  Oddly enough, the winter is when our citrus ripens, we find that we get more fruit than we can say grace over each year. So, we pawn it off on friends and juice what we have room to freeze, then we either eat the rest - or make fresh juice.

  H-Town Rock

  For the week of November 16th - 18th, 2009 We know we say this a lot in our Monday posts, but it bears repeating - we're alive! Houstonist hit Block Party pretty hard this weekend, achieving local music overload, discovering new artists that we have just got to see again, and making connections for some future interviews. But let's get down to what's happening this week, shall we?

  Eat This: Pola Artisan Cheeses

  Ashy and Bloomy Rind Pyramid cheeses made by Pola Artisan Cheeses here in Houston. New on the Houston artisan foods market is Pola, a local cheesemaker.

  H-Town Rock

  For the weekend of November 19th - 22nd, 2009 The weekend before Thanksgiving is certainly a popular one for events, and this year is no different - Art Crawl, Via Colori, Spacetaker's WHAM, a You[Genious] release party, some art openings and a whole smattering of other happenings are going on this weekend.
