This is an annual all day event with many activities for HACK! members and the general public:
We will also be at Discovery Green tonight to celebrate the ART Guys 25th anniversary and watch the world's best Polka Band-Brave Combo!

Breakfast, 8-1130a: Teotihuacan Mexican Restaurant, 1511 Airline Dr., Houston TX 77009; 713-426-4420. No specials, just a nice way to start the day. Early breakfast for those helping out at the Gulfgate Lowe's workshop from 10a-3p.... later for those who are helping out with the Art Car Museum's workshop from noon-3p.

Workshops (there are 2 this year):

Art Car Museum, noon-3p. ALL HOUSTON AREA CHILDREN ARE INVITED TO THIS FREE WORKSHOP!
All artists are encouraged to be on hand to guide children in making their own personal art car to take home. The Art Car Museum has again generously offered to host this part of our day of events by providing tables, chairs, doo-dads, gee-gaws, glue, paint and all the other necessary items to make mini art cars. They are also again providing the cars! Please ask all families to keep their creations in sight at all times, some came up missing last year and it was heartbreaking to see those couple of children cry when they left their cars to dry and came back to find them gone.

Lowe's @ Gulfgate, 10a-3p:
This is part of the 2008 Build-A-Thon benefitting the MHMRA, sponsored by Gifts with a Heart. We were asked to participate in this event back in March 2008. At our most recent meeting I had 5 people volunteer to be the artists leading children in making miniture art cars. The Klub will provide the cars. All artists are asked to bring supplies to make the cars. Scouts will earn badges that day. Please click here to see their flier.

Lunch/Dinner, any time while your art car is parked on the median across from the Art Car Museum, Hickory Hollow, 101 Heights Blvd, Houston TX 77001 www.hickoryhollowrestaurant.com/ (because it's within walking distance to the Art Car Museum)

Bar-B-Que on the Median - 3p till dusk: Bring your bar-b-ques, grillin' food, beverages, and hang out on the median for dinner - starts at 3pm.

Illuminated Cruise, assemble at dusk, leave at dark, median of across from the Art Car Museum.
WE PLAN ON BRINGING A GREAT ILLLUMINTED ART CAR CRUISE TO HOUSTON THIS EVENING AND HOPE YOU WILL JOIN US ON HEIGHTS BETWEEN I-10 AND 19TH STREET!
We will travel slowly up Heights, to 19th, U-Turn and back down past the Art Car Museum, then to points beyond. I am working on getting this info into the Houston Community Newspapers so this part of the route will be certain. All cars need to be illuminated, no regular cars should be in this processional, but may follow BEHIND!
