Need entertainment on the cheap? Here's what Houstonist is doing this weekend:

Houstonist has always been fascinated by cyborgs. From The Bionic Man to Data, we've often wondered about the possibilities of combining human intelligence with technology.

The 2008-2009 DiverseWorks season opens on September 19 with Understanding Poverty, a multimedia exhibition by Houston-based photojournalist Ben Tecumseh DeSoto. The exhibition will feature DeSoto's 20-year investigation into Houston's homeless and working poor, with field reporting contributed by Ann Walton Sieber and a special light installation by Sarah Whatley Ayers.

If you're anything like Houstonist, you loved Mad Libs as a kid (noun...snot! adjective...stupid! verb...fart! and so on). And if you're not too cool to admit it, you probably still love them now (although, hopefully your vocabulary has expanded somewhat since your playground days).

August in Houston is horrific enough, but why not give yourself an old-fashioned scare this weekend. Really old-fashioned. As in 88 years old. Considered to be the first horror flick ever, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919) has got all the wacked-out trappings of German Expressionism but no sound. Last fall, Houston's Two Star Symphony Orchestra played its own original soundtrack alongside a screening to a sold out show at the MFAH. This weekend, they're...
