5 THINGS TO DO THIS WEEKEND
It’s impossible to write about monster truck jams without wanting to push down the caps-lock button, everything feels like it needs to be LOUD.
Which is what NRG Park will be like Saturday for Monster Jam. Loud. And fun.
If you’re not into that kind of loud, the Korean Festival could be more your speed. Or the East End Street Fair.
If you’re into a different kind of loud, the Wings Over Houston Airshow will have aircraft sending out sound vibrations.
It’s an earplugs weekend.
