Westheimer Block Party Fall 2009 In Photos

The last Westheimer Block Party as we know it. Switching to a two-day format for the first time since reviving itself from the dust of what used to be known as the Westheimer Street Festival, the Block Party took place in the many Montrose venues surrounding the intersections of Taft and Westheimer. Put on by Omar Afra and his cronies at Free Press Houston, this fall's edition featured over 200 bands on November 14th and 15th. The Saturday, the 14th brought good weather, and great sets of music from the likes of Buxton, Roky Moon & Bolt, Eastern Sea (featuring an incredible collaboration with rapper Fat Tony), Japanther and one of the cleanest sets of hip-hop I've ever seen from Dead Prez. Sunday, the 15th continued the party despite a bit of a rain delay in the early afternoon. I actually put my camera to good use on Sunday, and was able to capture another round of fantastic music from I Am Mesmer, Grandfather Child, Elaine Greer, Wine and Revolution, The Sour Notes, News On The March, The Tontons and a curfew-breaking set by The Sideshow Tramps to close things out.

As soon as I arrived late in the afternoon on Saturday, my agenda was geared towards drinking rather than working, so there aren't many shots from that day, but Sunday I was in full photographer mode all day. Check out my photos from the fall 2009's Westheimer Block Party after the jump.
