On Saturday night, poet and wordsmith Mike Guinn is partnering with the Waco Poets Society for a night of entertainment at the Mission Waco Jubilee Theatre. More than just Guinn’s poetry, the event will also serve as an open mic night for local poets to share their work. Don’t miss this chance to experience the power of the spoken word.
On Saturday and Sunday, swing by the East Terrace House for the Historic Waco Foundation’s Rooms in Bloom, two days of flowers, plants, and fun. Bid at a silent auction for spring-themed arrangements and decorations or shop among plants and succulents available for immediate sale.
This weekend also brings the two-day Bowen Music Fest to McLane Stadium. On Saturday, performers include Parker McCollum, Wade Bowen, and Deana Carter, and Sunday features William Clark Green, Randy Rogers, Stoney Larue, Lee Roy Parnell, and others.

Eat, Drink, Repeat: “Chevy & Mike DuBose of The Blasian Asian”
The only issue with Waco Insider food writer Angelica Mazé’s profiles of local restaurant owners and chefs is more information than will fit in a single article. The solution? Waco Insider’s new podcast: Eat, Drink, Repeat.
In the inaugural episode, Mazé talks with Chevy and Mike DuBose, owners of The Blasian Asian at Union Hall. They discuss the ups and downs of running a restaurant, how they’ve managed to stay married, and even a few of Chevy’s Cambodian cooking secrets.
