Things To Do in and Around Midtown Houston This Week

The top thing to do this week has to include time to get in on the fun and festivities that are celebrating the Houston Rockets trip to the Western conference finals. The semi-final series opens in Los Angeles Monday.

The House of Blues plays host for the Official Viewing Party! Join all the local Rockets fans at the official viewing party. Don't miss out on the prizes, contests and giveaways, including Rockets freebies.
You don't have to have tickets to the game to enjoy the activities, I don't, but you can bet your bottom dollar I plan to get in on the action.

Join This Weeks 1,000 Fan March

In fact, I need everyone that reads this help to turn up the volume of support for the Rockets, on their bid to become the NBA Western Conference Champions.

I think a cool thing to do is have a 1,000 Houston Rockets fans to show up in their T-shirts to create a ocean of red outside Toyota Center when the team plays their home games. This is an ideal way to show the basketball team that we are with them during the conference finals.

You should also be able to get more information about the 1,000 Fan March and buy Rockets T-shirts online after Wednesday at this link.

If I can get 1,000 people to help me with this I'll make sure that a portion of the proceeds will go to a local charity.

How about that we'll show our support to the Rockets and a local non-profit at the same time. Let's do this Houston.

Let's get 1,000 fans, an ocean of red shirts, flowing through the city to encourage YAO and the rest of the team. The momentum from knowing their fan base is pumped-up will give them lots of inspiration to make kicking some Laker butt an easy thing to do this week when the team is playing at home, in Houston.

Things to do In and Around Midtown Houston This Weekend

Every kid loves them and most dad's, if just for a day, envy the saddle-worn riders on horseback that end their trail ride with a final trot through the downtown streets.

Hands down. the best free event in Houston this weekend will be the Rodeo Houston 2009 parade. Be prepared in case the usual chilly blast accompanies the festivities.

If you're like me and avoid cold weather, rush hour traffic, honey do's and other domestic chores, I have the 411 on fun things to do indoors on the last few days of this month.


Houston's Black History Collection

The community is invited to participate in compiling photos documents and related items that celebrate and tell the stories of Houston's African American community.
Pictures from professional, political, schools, church and sporting events can be brought in for review to the Johnson Branch Library from 10 am to 1 pm Saturday.

Green Home and Garden Workshop

Help the world, Houston and your backyard become a greener place. If you can pull yourself to leave the comforts of your pad in Midtown Houston, take a short trip, to the local The Harris County Extension Office, for a Green Home and Garden Workshop.

Learn the best practices for composting, picking low maintenance plants and handling invasive varieties.

Experts on hand will discuss two hot topics that can help reduce your carbon footprint.

BUILDING HOMES FROM RECYCLABLE MATERIALS
Dan Phillips, Homebuilder, Phoenix Commotion

LOW COST ENERGY SAVING IDEAS FOR YOUR HOME
Jeff Kaplan, Owner, New Living Hardware.

Hanging Out In Downtown Houston

If your idea of an exciting fun weekend involves something more physical, there's the ConocoPhillips Rodeo Run for willing participants.

There is no doubt about it, Toyota Center has the best nighttime action. It'll becomes the battleground for HBO's Wold Championship Boxing Event.

You can expect your adrenaline to get kicked up a couple of notches if you can land a ringside seat.

Hometown favorite's JUAN DIAZ and Olympic Silver Medalist, ROCKY JUAREZ are both after new belts during Saturday's title matches.

This Weekend In Houston-Women of Faith

Houston is the setting for one of the nation's best women's conference, "Women of Faith-Infinite Grace." It happens this weekend near Midtown Houston in the Toyota Center. What makes this gathering of women so unique, is the infinite variety of participants.
Women with families, on their own, older women and younger women seem to gravitate toward this traveling Christian networking event.

The community and conversations that begin as flickers of light, often turn into rays of hope that shine far beyond the walls of the auditoriums and stadiums where the services are held. Christian women leave these meetings rejoicing after being renewed and relaxed. They carry with them a light that will shine ever so brightly into the darkest corners of their world.
