January is as solid a month as any to hit the town, and below you can find thirty Houston events to keep you busy. There are concerts, plays, art exhibits, film showings, sporting events, and a ton of outdoor activities. Know of a few Houston events that aren't listed below but should be? Shoot me an email. As always, I’ve listed some actionable content as well as some really witty, really helpful commentary (like, “could suck” or “might be fun"). Click the links for more info.

Heritage Society: Spinning a Yarn: Houston History Through Clothing

How else to bang in the new year than with the rock and rollers at the Heritage Society as they walk you through the history of clothing. Make sure your shoes are tied tight, otherwise they might just be blown right off.

Shadow Bar: Smash the Mic Rap and R&B Throwdown

Glad to see this on the list; I wasn‘t even aware that Shadow Bar is still open. Swing on through to see a few of the cities undiscovered talents. (Also, see why several of them are still “undiscovered.”

GRB Convention Center: Bridal Extravaganza 2010

Oh me, oh my. Stop on through here to see brides bargaining like they were in a 1800 Middle Eastern swap meet. Also, they‘ll almost certainly have a fountain that spouts cheese. It‘s as glorious as it sounds.
