You already know I stay looking for the niche events happening around Houston, and this one absolutely got my attention.

PrideStyle: Now or Never takes over Houston Premier Arena tonight with inclusive pro wrestling and a very simple policy: no bigots and bangers only. Say less.

And while we’re keeping the Pride going, how about some RuPaul??? We’re giving away two VIP Meet & Greet + show tickets to RuPaul’s Drag Race Werq The World at 713 Music Hall on February 26. 🌈

JUST ANNOUNCED

• If you had a Trippie Redd phase, congratulations because it’s time to revisit it. He takes over Bayou Music Center on Tuesday, December 1 with all the melodic rap and feelings. Go ahead and reopen that chapter.

• Joey Diaz takes over Smart Financial Centre on Saturday, December 12 with the kind of wild true-life stories only he could tell. Expect absolutely zero filter from Coco. Get comfortable because storytime is about to get unhinged.

• The Interrupters take over House of Blues Houston on Wednesday, March 24 with The Aquabats and The Mainliners along for the night. Consider this your permission to relive your ska-punk phase and get back in the pit.

• Two Step Inn returns to San Gabriel Park in Georgetown April 17–18 with Brooks & Dunn, Ella Langley, Parker McCollum, Sheryl Crow, and Whiskey Myers leading the lineup. Dust off those boots and head to Georgetown.*

• Lizzy McAlpine takes over 713 Music Hall on Saturday, May 1 with a whole new Angel era to bring to the stage. Grab the tissues and go have your feelings in public for once.

• Plus other just announced shows in Houston!

DON’T YOU LOVE FREE STUFF FRIDAYS

Happy Free Stuff Friday to those who celebrate. You already know what time it is. I rounded up free things to do around Houston this weekend plus another batch of giveaways because having plans is even better when they cost nothing.

Pro tip: Want even more free tickets? Do713 MORE has a free 30-day trial and hooks you up with a pair of tickets every month.

Another pro tip: have your bestie enter the giveaways too. If one of you wins, the other becomes the +1. That’s just good girl math. :)

Your Car Insurance Company Does Not Love You

Hello, operator of a motor vehicle. You've stayed with the same car insurance company for years - which is beautiful - but they have never, ever thought about you. They are NOT working behind the scenes to save you money, which means you might not have the lowest rate. Money.com's free tool compares quotes from multiple providers in minutes to see how much you may or may not be getting screwed over by your car insurance company.*
