We definitely got rained on this weekend but that did not stop the Art Car Parade from being so good. If anything it made it more memorable. If you skipped it I hate that for you. The cars were funny, super creative, and people really showed out with insane detail and effort.

And speaking of things we love, dad rock is having a real moment again. Dave Matthews Band is coming to The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion on May 8 and it is going to hit. We have tickets to give away so this is your sign to lean in and enter.
