Heads Up For The Weekend
by Pete WannSince I know you’re starting to make plans for the weekend, now is the time to clue you in to a couple of cool events around the city.
On Saturday, there’ll be a fundraiser for some folks participating in the BP Houston to Austin MS150 Bike Ride (I don’t know which one, exactly) at the Rahr Brewery from 7-10 PM.
They’ve got a ton of raffle giveaways, and you get free beer! All you have to pony up is $10 at the door, all of which goes to the Lone Star Chapter of the Multiple Sclerosis Society. Update: (Ryan does a better job selling it than I have in the comments…)
The Fort Worth Community Arts Center will be hosting a reception for their current and incoming batch of local artists on Friday from 6-9PM.
Update (2): Herb e-mailed to let us know that Wayne Horvitz’ Gravitas Quartet will be playing this Friday and Saturday at the Van Cliburn Recital Hall. For tickets and showtimes, hop on over Bass Hall’s website. Looking for more info on Wayne Horvitz’ Gravitas Quartet? Check them out on iTunes.
Update (3):The Texas Chapter of the International Society of Arboriculture (the ORIGINAL professional treehuggers) is hosting its Tree Climbing Championship in Trinity Park Friday and Saturday. This looks like a really fun and interesting event! (Fair warning — these guys and gals get up EARLY! All events are scheduled to be finished and the get-together adjourned by 4PM, so don’t be late!)
I’m sure there are a TON more things going on. Is there something I missed? Something you’d like to add? Are you planning an event and want us to mention it here? Send me an e-mail!

Thanks for posting about our fundraiser Pete! FYI… We’re raising money for the BP MS150 ride from Houston to Austin on Apr. 12-13.
It’ll be a great party with the Final 4 games on the big screen, food for sale, and live music from FW band Bender.
Come on out!

A friend just sent me this, I know the band playing is really good. There is no need to buy tickets in advance, just show up and have fun. Just remember this is a funraiser, so a donation is expected.
