Local: Houston Weekend Preview: Anything On Wheels Edition
Event Details: Houston Weekend Preview: Anything On Wheels Edition - :
When I was just a lil gay back in high school, I was a writer for the school yearbook. Nerdy? Yes. Gay as hell? Duh. One day, while looking for sponsors we found an ad for a used car dealership called Anything On Wheels. Probably high as a Georgia pine, we placed a phone call to said dealership that ended up being one of my favorite crank calls ever: I forget the details (remember: Georgia pine), but I do remember asking the lady if she had sandwiches on wheels and then laughing with her on the phone for what seemed like 20 minutes. Ahhh…. you had to be there.
I bring up wheels for two reasons: This weekend you can roller skate to the 80s (wheels!) and you can drive outside the loop to see a good show (better have good wheels for that trip). I don’t mean to sound like an inner-loopist, but hey, the theater is on “Way Out West Drive” so make sure you have a full tank of gas before you go.

Friday
- Catch See Rock City at Theatre Suburbia – opens tonight and continues through October 17th. I don’t know if this is going to be a very good place to meet guys, but it is community theater so it’s a good bet.

- If you’re in a theater mood but don’t want to drive far, see Grease (Featuring Taylor Hicks “sooo that’s what he’s doing now!”) presented by TUTS at the Hobby Center – 800 Bagby – 713-315-2400.
Saturday
- Don your hippest 80s attire for the Totally Awesome 80s Skate Party to benefit the Lazarus House on Saturday night.

Sunday
- I know most of you will be busy brunching and preparing to watch NPH host the Emmys, but if you get tired of watching musical numbers and decide to perform a musical number of your own, it’s karaoke night at Guava! Check out one of the best gay karaoke spots in town. Order one or two of Bartender Amanda’s signature martinis and someone’s going to have to wheel you out of there! (That’s all I got, folks!) Guava Lamp – 570 Waugh Dr. – No Cover.
