Welcome back to Houston Chronicle Live, a weekly newsletter that keeps you updated on all the live events we're hosting this week and beyond, including past recordings and the opportunity to shape future events. 

We've been busy planning a full slate of exciting virtual events this summer, so we're taking a short break from Zoom this week.

Next week, however, is an exciting one if you're a native or longtime Houstonian like me. Thirty years ago this month, the Houston Rockets won their first NBA championship, and we're going to relive that triumph with two key players from that team, Matt Bullard and Mario Elie. More on that below. 

See you next week on Zoom.

Chronicle readers are invited to a private Zoom to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Rockets' first NBA championship, with former players Mario Elie and Matt Bullard.

They'll be joined with Rockets beat reporter Jonathan Feigen and sports editor Reid Laymance, both of whom covered the winning season for the Chronicle in 1993-94. 

In addition to our usual panel discussion and reader Q&A, we've scoured the Chronicle photo archives to find rare and exclusive images that we'll present, with live commentary from our VIP guests. 

You won't want to miss this one. Register here to reserve your spot.

ICYMI

If you missed last week's Zoom with Judge Lina Hidalgo, she broke some news during the event when she confirmed she would be running for re-election, a decision politicos had been speculating for some time. 

This, of course, has always been the goal for those of us at Houston Chronicle Live: to bring live journalism straight to your laptop. You can catch up on the entire event on our YouTube page.
