    certified dinner buyer

    Drake may have had a couple bad weekends recently, but that didn’t stop him from blessing some lucky Houstonians this past Valentine’s Day weekend.

    The Toronto rapper/singer-turned-Houston rancher surprised diners at both Juliet Steakhouse and Bungalow Downtown Dining on Valentine’s Day by treating the patrons to dinner. A video recently appeared on the Juliet’s Instagram stories showing two female employees approaching a dinner-party table full of ladies and letting them know that the Certified Lover Boy is hooking them up. Diners at Bungalow had a similar experience when members of Drake’s Angels told them the rapper was picking up their tabs.

    Drake, who has hosted events at Juliet in the past, reached out to owner Jamie Allen to make it happen, according to a press release. In addition to the women in the video, other couples and singles in the eatery also got comped.

    At Bungalow — part of Houston’s ALife Hospitality Group that also includes Kamp, FRNDS Restaurant & Lounge, and Stick Talk Cajun Hibachi — the total amounted to more than $10,000. The restaurant's marketing firm shared the moment on Instagram.

    This surprise comes on the heels of $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, the new album Drake released on Valentine’s Day. While most of the album consists of soulful bangers featuring him and fellow emo-R&B Canuck PARTYNEXTDOOR, he did address his neverending beef with LA rap god Kendrick Lamar on “Gimme a Hug.” The track has him doubling down on his party-boy lifestyle – “F— a rap beef, I’m tryna get the party lit,” he raps.

    Earlier today, it was announced that Drake will be getting all lovey-dovey with London this summer. He’ll headline all three nights of the Wireless Festival, his first set of UK performances in six years, at Finsbury Park in London. He’ll be joined by PARTYNEXTDOOR, Summer Walker, Burna Boy, and Vybz Kartel.

    Let's Dance

    Houstonians can dance all day and night at 2 EDM festivals in June

    DJs will take the stage at Meow Wolf for an all-night festival.

    We don’t know what it is about Saturday, June 20, but it’ll be a day when local EDM fans will have the time of their lives.

    Meow Wolf Houston’s Radio Tave will host a full-building electronic music takeover. The interactive art/funhouse will debut Monstercat Danceportation, an immersive, late-night music festival bringing together internationally-recognized electronic artists with Houston’s rising local scene. Attendees can move through the exhibition and discover performances woven throughout the space, from high-energy DJ sets broadcasting from the exhibition station’s radio booth to bass-heavy moments echoing through hidden worlds and large-scale headline performances inside the venue's Theta Theater.

    Born from the successful Danceportation series at Meow Wolf Denver, which has sold out multiple editions since launching in 2022, Danceportation arrives in collaboration with the Vancouver-based Monstercat, one of electronic music’s most influential indie labels. The lineup includes Trivecta, SMOAKLAND, Nostalgix, SPORTMODE, DLOW, GRIN, BÜRDTE b2b COACH HART, DEGEN, and SWADED SOUNDS.

    “This is the first event of its kind we’ve ever created at Meow Wolf Houston,” said operations manager Miranda Allmon. “Danceportation transforms every corner of Radio Tave into an active music environment. Each space inside the exhibition takes on its own energy throughout the night.”

    On the same day, AHC Productions will present Space City Wubfest, billed as “Houston’s first-ever bass music festival,” over at Raven Tower. According to the website (where you can find a coloring contest where the winner receives two VIP tickets), the 12-hour event will be “a four-stage takeover featuring two main bass stages, a riddim stage inside the tower (with the promise to deliver "filth and high-energy madness), and a rooftop stage bringing house and techno vibes under the sky.”

    In fitting festival fashion, Wubfest will also include a vendor village, food trucks, face painters, massage tables, and tie-dye bars. Live flow performances will take place throughout the day, along with a flow arts workshop where attendees can learn, spin, and level up their skills.

    You can spend the day hanging at Wubfest, which starts at 11 am, and later head over to Meow Wolf, which will open its doors at 10 pm. Both events will be 21+ only. Wubfest tickets are here, and Danceportation tickets are over here.
