Mayor Turner approves select live events to return to Houston
So far, Dynamo and Dash matches are the only live events returning to EaDo, but Mayor Turner’s approval of reopening live events in “controlled environments” with limited audiences is a positive sign. Any events that are approved in the future will require attendees to wear masks, answer a virus questionnaire, and take part in a temperature screening.

The duo’s first virtual pairing experience with Saint Arnold is completely booked, but keep an eye out for the next one. After all, how can you go wrong with beer and dumplings?
