The Moon, A Kaleidescope, Zombies and More

So many awesome events this week all over the Metroplex. So, you have no excuse not to go out and do something fun this week: unless you're sick or out of town or working a lot. Well even then you can squeeze one event in right? ok here we go

Head out to Denton for the Thin Line film festival. The showings began last week but there are still some amazing films showing Wednesday through Sunday. Two films I'm really looking forward to are both showing Friday: 

"Who Took the Bomp? Le Tigre on Tour"  because I never did and never will see them on tour :((( so this is the closest I can get

and Bullycam which is the story of a girl who turns the camera on her oppressors.

Also "The Other F Word" is showing Sunday ,which I discussed earlier this year,  is the story of a few famous Punk Rock dudes and their new lives as Dads.

Check out the full list of movies and schedule here.

It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark

On Thursday you can head to Dallas and test out your supposed Zombie apocalypse knowledge with a city wide scavenger hunt. Hurry and put together a team today because when the shit really hits the fan you won't be able to carefully plan your group will you? I don't really see this as a fun event as much as a necessary training for the safety of our future. Unfortunately it's only for 21 and up so I can't start some early training with my kids. Agoge is only two years away for both of them so they'll be trained soon enough. The race starts at the Church check in at 5:30.

Speaking of kiddos, On Saturday peeps with childrens should head over to the Kimbell for an event called Color Your World from 1-4. The event includes art projects, films, tours and performances by the Contemporary Dance/ Fort Worth.

At night head to Dallas for the opening of the new 500X juried showcase of Texas Artists. This is a great opportunity to check out up and coming local artists. (and I've said it once and I'll say it a thousand times FREE BOOZE).

Also, on Saturday you could lose your hipster license if you don't go to Texas Theatre to see the restoration of "A Trip to The Moon" with an original score by Air. The screening includes "An Extraordinary Journey" a film documenting the restoration and including interviews with directors such as: Costa Gavras, Michel Gondry, Michel Hazanavicius, and Jean-Pierre Jeunet. So basically go see the movie and then learn why you needed to see it. Showings start Saturday and end Tuesday so check it out while you can.



As far as music goes this week boasts a lot of the biggest names in DFW.

•  Thursday Polyphonic Spree plays at Sons of Herman Hall. If you haven't seen Polyphonic please do yourself a favor and go to this show. I've seen them perform about fifteen times and it's always an uplifting and magical experience. Unless of course you don't like happiness. You probably hate rainbows and kick kittens don't you? For really reals though the Dallas scene is somewhat split on  Polyphonic love but I'm a fan.
• Friday at Lola's in Fort Worth go see Brenna Manzare & Proper Husbands as well as Air Review and Telegraph Canyon. I keep hearing about the awesomeness of Brenna Manzare and Air Review and Telegraph always put on a great show.
• Go ahead and camp out at Lola's because Saturday everybody and their mom will want to see Mon Julien, Ishi, and Burning Hotels.

• Sunday The Supersuckers are playing Trees.
• Tuesday the 21st Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks are at Granada Theater  in Dallas

• Or go check out Nervous Curtains at City Tavern 

P.S. Check out The Synaptic on Twitter to win tickets to Polyphonic or The Burning Hotels.

Phew, what a week right??? If you recover from this week check back next Wednesday where I will hopefully regularly be posting the haps. SMOOCHES!!! Thanks for reading!
