See If Sex Really Does Sell.
Until recently, our knowledge of nanotechnology was extremely limited. Really, brief experiences with mid-'90s digi-pets aside, we knew next to nothing at all.
But all that changed when we discovered this video for the miracle that is NeverWet.
Somehow, through the wonders of nanoscience, the product's creators were able to invent a spray that inexplicably makes everyday household items water repellent. Mind-blowingly so. Just think of all the practical applications for the spray: You can water-proof your iPhone, stain-proof your clothing, rain-proof your car's windshield. The possibilities are endless.
Maybe you should grab some tonight and let your imagination run wild.
Just don't get any on your hands. We don't know how you'd ever wash it off.
Texas Rangers vs. New York Yankees at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington

V/H/S 2 at Texas Theatre
In the mood for a little midsummer night's terror? Videotape horror is back in this sequel, which follows two private investigators who break into a house to find a missing student but only uncover a collection of VHS tapes — ones that imply that there may be darker reasons for the student's disappearance. — Jessica Petrocchi
DJs Sissy Ross and Mekanix at Zubar
Tonight is one of your last chances for one of Zubar's Monday night dance parties before the Lower Greenville institution closes. Join DJs Sissy Ross and Mekanix in helping to celebrate 18 years of good times at the bar, all while sending the club off in style. — JP
Slumberbuzz, Sam Vicari and Howler Jr. at Bryan Street Tavern
Psych-shoegazers Slumberbuzz headline this free show during the tavern's weekly half-price pizza night. The band's heavily textured melodies should pair nicely with the alt-pop experimentation of the two opening acts, Sam Vicari and Denton three-piece Howler Jr. A free show and half-price eats? You'll have been to worse and paid more, we promise. — Stephen Young
Hormones, Caustic Casanova and I'm The One Who's Fighting at The Crown & Harp
Hormones drummer Jordan Williams is gearing up to move to Seattle here in a couple of weeks. Meaning? The band responsible for one of the better music videos this town has seen in the past few years is about to be no more. Even if you're just heading upstairs for The Crown & Harp's weekly upstairs Cool Out party, be sure to pop into the downstairs venue and wish Williams a heartfelt adieu. — Pete Freedman
Rob Viktum's Sex Sells Listening Party at Kush
