Oddities, Cole Porter and Miller time: What to do this weekend
HOUSTON, Texas -- As quickly as it came, RodeoHouston will soon wrap. But until then, plenty of shows vie for Houston's attention.
As for this weekend, look for a Latino film festival, cool concerts, and a can't-miss dinner.
Cole Porter - his music, anyway - headlines Houston Symphony, while Stages Theatre stages a hysterical, almost runaway bride. Bike riders will spin in the East End, things get weird at an oddities show, and a garage sale goes totally punk rock.
Here are your best bets for the weekend.
