Happy Halloween eve, Houston! 🎃 Please tag us on Instagram with your costumes tomorrow so I can live vicariously through all of you while I'm walking around in my devil horns and regular clothes. I would love to say I put some effort into Halloween this year, but that would simply be a lie.

And if you're still figuring out your Halloween plans, we've got a little something for you! Cameron Whitcomb is bringing his Kingdom of Fear Tour to House of Blues Houston tomorrow, October 31, and we're giving away a pair of tickets. Enter for your chance to spend Halloween with some live music!*
