Scheduling madness...

After a number of years wanting to go see them, I am finally pulling the trigger.  Tomorrow night, I am going to see Blue Man Group.  I am very excited.  But, there was a dilemma in choosing to attend this event.

There is just so much going on here...

For example, the same night as the Blue Man Group (which... keep in mind, is on a Tuesday night) is a professional production of "FlashDance, the Musical" at the Theater Under the Stars, an interview/discussion with Dr. Ruth Westheimer at the Museum of Fine Arts (which strangely seems appropriate), a "Last Chef Standing" tasting event, a Sherlock Holmes play at the Alley Theater... and more.

...on a Tuesday night!

Point being, there is always something going on and happening in this wonderful city.  To be perfectly frank, the major reason I pulled the trigger on going to see BMG is because I got a notice of half price tickets from Goldstar.  Now to see if they were worth the wait.

Out there on the cheap...

I was always warned about the expense of big city living.  Houston, Chicago, New York, LA... all of these magical lands where you are supposed to have a salary in the millions in order to enjoy the amenities.

Yeah... not so much...

You see, this month is a very, very tight budget month for the web guy.  Some unforeseen expenses reared their evil head and things got a bit... well, tight.  So, I just have to stay inside and hibernate?  Nope.  This weekend I will be taking pictures at the arboretum, seeing a show (or two) at 14 Pews, and there are two outdoor shows at the Miller Outdoor Amphitheater.

Total to see all of these things - $0.  Yup, nothing out of pocket.

Now that does not include food but that is fine.  I can cook and (if necessary) get a quick bite on the cheap.  The point being is that there is simply SO much to do.  There are events like the Houston Grand Opera, The Houston Symphony, some plays at the Alley Theater and much much more.  So even though right now I have to screw down my spending, that does not mean I have to screw down a bit of my entertainment.

Enjoy!
