Houstonians, its that time again...the beloved Friday. So you just got off your job and you're looking for something to do? On a budget? Don't worry, I am too so everything on here is SUPER affordable. Here's to the weekend. Go explore.
FRIDAY
LEGOKidsFest May 17th-19th

Okay, besides the occasional step on a Lego that feels more like a bullet wound than anything else, you've got to admit, Legos are really cool. For those children at heart, or those of you who have kids to entertain, take them to the reliant center and let them loose! Now why would I recommend this as a Friday activity? Welp, unfortunately the Saturday event is closed because the tickets sold out. Friday and Sunday have limited availability. Prices range from 15-20 bucks and bring 10 dollars for parking. Buy them here before its too late.
Rat Ranch Band-7PM
Baker Street Pub
10001 Westheimer
So european mock architecture not your thing? No kids to take the LegoFest? Or would you rather just have a drink [I mean you have been working all week] No problem. Rat Ranch, a band that does 200+ shows a year and covers a variety of music from old rock to today's big hits will be performing at my favorite pub-Baker Street. It's free to get in of course, but eventually you will want something to drink. Not to worry, Baker Street won't break your bank. They have some of the BEST happy hour specials in the city that promise to make your Friday weekend kickoff a good one.
SATURDAY
Houston Press BrewFest
3-10pm
Silver Street Station, 1500 Silver St.
Beer.
That's all I need to say, but for those of you who want the intimate details, here's the info [directly from the Houston Press]: More than 30 brews are on tap, including the wildly monikered Hookibah IPA from Crazy Mountain Brewing, and Big Sky Brewery's Moose Drool Brown Ale and Trout Slayer Wheat Ale. Spoetzel, Texas' favorite brewery son, also brings along Shiner Wild Hare, Shiner Premium, and Shiner Ruby Redbird. Cheers.
Okay, here's the catch. These tickets can get pretty pricey. But I couldn't possibly leave the brewfest off the list of things to do this weekend. You can get tickets for as low as $30 or get some VIP treatment for $70. For more information, call 713-280-2400.
The Ensemble Theater Presents: RACE
Saturday shows- 2pm and 8pm
3535 Main St.
In this telling must-see drama that addresses both race and rape-two highly charged topics with strong opposing views are put together. In this David Mamet play, a white man is accused of raping a black woman, leaving it to lawyers of both racial backgrounds to argue his fate. The Audience is left to form their own opinions. This play will definitely spark conversations. Oh, and sidenote: I've NEVER been dissapointed by the Ensemble. To purchase tickets (which range from $12-$20) visit their box office.
SUNDAY
