The annual Art Car Parade is *so much fun*. It might be the most fun you can have for free (apart from the usual sorts of entertainment), and it's certainly one of this city's highlights. It's so cool that it's worth timing visits to Houston every April. 250ish *insane* vehicles, bespangled and bedaubed and constructed into all sorts of weird shapes and themes. There's another ambition: to one day have my very own art car. Of course, I'll have to learn how to drive first.
