White Linen Night in the Heights is THIS SATURDAY. If you've never been I would recommend trying to find somewhere that sells tickets, otherwise you're going to want to pre-game as the bars get *SLAMMED* . If you don't live in the Heights I plead with you to walk, bike or uber over as the parking situation will be a mess.

My friends at Cutthroat on 19th are doing donation based haircuts with drinks and a live band, check em out.

If insane crowds aren't your thing check out the Shakespeare Festival at Miller Outdoor Theater. This week also marks the start of Houston restaurant weeks. Enjoy your weekend Houston!
