STREAM A CONCERT FROM THE COUCH Midtown's Beats and Eats goes virtual this Friday! Stream performances from Mango Punch and DJ Jorge starting at 6:30pm.

Mouth-watering tapas and live music right from your own couch — what could be better?

BRIGHTEN THE WEEKEND WITH BLOOMS Brighten up any space or anyone's day with flowers this weekend! CityCentre hosts a Freedom Floral pop-up shop from 11am-1pm on Friday.

MAKE THE MOST OF MARDI GRAS Laissez les bons temps rouler at B&B Butchers & Restaurant with a fun Mardi Gras themed brunch. There's a special menu with NOLA-inspired dishes, specialty cocktails, live dueling pianos — and what's Mardi Gras without face-painting and beads? Join in the celebration from 11am-3pm on Saturday; secure a spot here.

CATCH A HOUSTON-CENTRIC FLICK! Curl up with a new action-packed movie, produced and directed by Houstonians, this weekend. Narco Sub is based on a true story about a retired Navy SEAL who was forced to pilot a makeshift submarine from Colombia to Miami after his family is kidnapped by a cartel. The movie was just released on Prime Video for rent or purchase.

MARKET FOR THE WILLFULLY SINGLE Sick of love? Hit the Lonely Hearts Fest on Saturday and love on yourself with gifts, or cleanse your mind and closet at the "dump your ex's stuff" charity donation boxes.

Leadership in Action: John Kuykendall Traded Newcaster Dream for Success in Luxury Retail

John Kuykendall, Showroom Manager, Sub-Zero, Wolf and Cove

Over the next 30 years, I was in commissioned sales on the sales floor, became a department manager, worked my way up to buyer and store manager.
