[FIXED POST] What do in Houston for a month

Note: Ok so the last time I made this post, I was very sleep deprived from preparing all day to travel back. So when I randomly made that post, I was very cranky and came off as rude. That's on me and I apologize. Now I'm gonna ask again but properly this time.

Hey I'm staying in Houston for month until late January/early Febuary. I have a friend who I haven't since high school trying to find some places/events we can go to while I'm still here. They're some places I went to before like the mfah and the galleria so I'm having trouble finding anything new that I never did. Going to cool resturants, bars, and shops are fun but its not just the only thing I want to do (Plus my friend would need to drive if we're going to bars). I really want to explore around montrose, midtown and possibly the heights with there's any events happening over there. Keep in mind we're both in our early 20's and college aged so preferably, if possible can you recommend some places specifically for around that age range. Bonus if it's an lgbt, anime, or pop culture event. Thanks
