George R. Brown Convention Center: India Fest
Bask in the culture that Houston offers at this year’s India Fest. Should be lots of fun.

Laff Spot: Bob Zany
It’s always good to get out and just laugh for a bit. Bob Zany’s comedy should serve as a nice vehicle for that.

The Health Museum: Facing Mars
Would you survive on Mars? Probably not. But you will survive a trip to the Health Museum to see their Facing Mars exhibit, which makes you just as gnarly as if you had actually gone to Mars.

Minute Maid Park: Houston Astros vs. Florida Marlins
Season’s probably not going so well when one of the city’s columnists begins referring to the home town heroes as the Disastros. No matter. A day at the ballpark is still a day at the ballpark.

Woodlands Pavilion: Def Leppard
Good month for classic rock, it would appear. Inevitably, you’ll have to sit through some of their new stuff, but it’s worth it to hear “Photograph.” At least, I think it is.

Hobby Center: The Color Purple
Great, great play. This is actually being brought to you by Oprah. No word on whether or not Danny Glover is involved.

Museum of Natural Science: Mixers and Elixirs
Drinks, dancing, and dinosaur exhibits. Mixers and Elixirs won’t be around forever, so take it in while you can. And if you go, make sure and ask them why they never sent me any pictures even though I asked, like, 100* times.

Woodlands Pavilion: Lil’ Wayne in Concert
Last year Lil’ Wayne somehow morphed into one of the world’s biggest musicians. Catch him at this show, because I have a feeling his popularity bubble is about to burst.
