This Sunday, March 14th, we get to check out a new location on 6th Street! Due to SXSW, we will not be meeting at the Hideout this Sunday morning, but that's cool because we like to experience the variety of our city anyway.
Instead, we will be meeting a few blocks over at the Old Pecan Street Cafe Banquet Hall on 6th Street, east of San Jacinto. We should be back at our regular place, The Hideout, the following week.
Time Change! Spring Forward
We will be meeting at our ... ... Read more »

isn't difficult to see both the beauty of our communities as well as
the disparity and brokenness in our communities. We desire to
