Toyota Center: Harlem Globetrotters

I really have a feeling that the Generals are going to take this game. I mean, they’re like, 0-867 against the ‘Trotters. They’re due, right?

Reliant Stadium: Monster Jam

Is there a better way to spend a Saturday evening when you’re a nine-year-old boy than at a Monster Truck show with your ol’ man? They’re just might not be.

The Knights of Columbus Fields: The Urban Market Antique Show

You’re almost certain to find some sort of gem at the UMAS. Even if you don’t, it’s better than staying home and watching the danged Super Bowl.

Contemporary Art Museum: Barkley L. Hendricks: Birth of the Cool

I had assumed this was an exhibit with nothing but a bunch of still shots of Patrick Swayze from Road House and Point Break, but that turned out to be incorrect.

Houston Arboretum: The Art of Cooking Mexican Food

I am convinced: There is no food greater on the planet than Mexican food. Of course, I might be just a tad bit biased.

Central Market: Author Elizabeth Somer (Eat Your Way to Happiness)

Have a sit down with the author of Eat Your Way to Happiness, a book that makes eating healthy seem way more sensible (and affordable) than you currently assume it to be.
