HOUSTON, Texas -- This weekend will be hot - literally and figuratively - as a group art exhibition presents hot finds. A women's convention speaks to hot-button topics, and is there anyone hotter than Houston's unofficial mayor, Bun B? The hip-hop icon will be back to showcase his hot, juicy Trill Burgers.
Meanwhile, a dance tribute to India dazzles, a beloved sports power couple returns to Houston to party for a good cause, a watch party is for the birds, and a beloved movie reminds us there's no crying baseball.
