Baker Street Pub and Grill: Extreme Karaoke
Engage in a fair bit of schadenfreude (that’s an actual word) at this Extreme Karaoke event. Apparently, on account of the extremeness, you have to drive an Xterra to be allowed to compete*.

House of Blues: Our Lady Peace
If you’ve never been, you really should check out House of Blues. It’s a great medium-sized concert venue. And they sale bedazzled tank-tops. What else do you need?

Rockfish Grill: Houston Single Source Party
If you’re looking to mingle with a group of single folk, here’s the spot to go. As an icebreaker, there will be lots of games to play, such as Let’s All Laugh At The Married People and I Still Sleep In On Sundays Because I’ve Not Got A Child Hollering In My Ear For Eggs. Bunch of single jerks.

Toyota Center: Jonas Brothers
OMG! THE JONAS BROTHERS! These guys are basically The Beatles for 12-year-old girls. I didn’t bother to research this, but I’m fairly certain tickets begin at $40,000.
