Minute Maid Park: Houston Astros vs. Chicago Cubs
The Cubs are one of the most storied franchises in MLB history. And the Astros are, well, the Astros. That said, the two teams have won the same amount of championships in the last 90 years.

Alley Theater: Mrs. Mannerly
This is a play about a stodgy teacher who meets her match in an equally persistent student. It's way more interesting than I just made it sound.

Club Escapade 2001: Pitbull in Concert
It's a good month for rap concerts, it appears. (If you've never heard of him, Pitbull is one of the more popular Latino rappers out today.)

Arena Theater: 50 Cent in Concert
Did you see those pictures of 50 Cent after he lost all of that weight for that movie he had a part in? Crazy. If you haven't seen, Google it now. Right now. Go.

Reliant Stadium: Houston Summer Boat Show
A perennial Dad favorite, the Boat Show is pens together vendors offering every thing you'd ever need for your boat. And if you don't have a boat, well, they've got those too.

Signature Lounge: Speed Dating for College Grads
College grads have enough on their plate (like being young and unmarried and childless and just generally very happy), so this event was organized to help them meet up with one another.

Sam Houston Race Park: Juneteenth Summer Jam
Sam Houston Race Park has grown to be one of the more fun stops for me to make each month. This event should be no different. No ahead of time though, the parking lot where they hold this event will get up to about 400 degrees. Leave the babies at home, is what I'm saying.
