Reliant Park: Houston International Boat, Sport and Travel Show

A perennial favorite among dad‘s, make sure you let yours out of the house for the always impressive Boat Show. He might mortgage your house to get that new 17‘, but it‘s totally worth it.

Toyota Center: Houston Rockets Vs. Minnesota Timberwolves

Watch our underdog heroes dispatch the woefully irrelevant Timberwolves. My prediction for the game: Rockets: 103, T-Wolves: 9. It‘s a lock.

Alley Theater: Wonderland

No word on whether or not John Mayer will stop in for an impromptu performance of “Your Body Is A Wonderland.” Actually, that‘s not true. There has been word. He will not be popping in. Sorry.

King Biscuit Patio Café: Biscuit Jazz Jam

How can anything called the “Biscuit Jazz Jam“ not be a winner, I ask? Fewer things in life are more certain than that.
