Recover from Sunday by staying in Arlington and Dallas June 29- July 1

Hey hey hey. I don't know about you but I'm still in recovery mode from last weekend's FW Weekly Music Awards showcase. Yeesh. So, I'm kind of glad this week is laid back in the festivities action.

Friday 
Burning Hotels at Levitt Pavilion in Arlington
Bust out your best picnic blanket and stock a cooler with some Imperials to see my favorite Fort Worth boys play for free. Yes it may seem I've made it my personal mission to tell you every single time Burning Hotels play but that doesn't mean you have seen them yet and if not this is free so you should definitely go. Coolers with beer and wine are allowed but no glass. Oh and food is allowed haha. #priorities

The Blurries and Dove Hunter at The Foundry in Dallas
I dig both of these bands quite a bit. I feel like The Blurries don't play super often so this is your chance. Actually Dove Hunter doesn't play super often either. Up there I linked the description by that Pete Freedman guy that is better than anything I could tell you. ( Plus I couldn't find a website for the Foundry : / ) Oh and this is free too. Whoa

The Blurries yo ( Trippy)

Saturday

I felt I needed a picture here. So hey look a cave
Caves 9th Anniversary party 3-2am
Everyone mark your calendars because this may be the first and last time I tell you to go to Arlington twice in one week. Caves anniversary party is going down all day. BBQ starting at 4 and Jazz outside from 6-10. On the inside is a sweet line up of local bands

Starting at 6

 Mills and Company
 FTW
Zombie Shark Attack
We're Wolves
The Phuss
Pinkish Black

Apparently they are raffling Passion Pit tickets too. If nothing else at least go see The Phuss and Pinkish Black. I saw The Phuss at Lola's on Sunday and they are pretty rad live. (Side note: I can not find anything to link to the event on the entire internets. So just trust me that this information is correct because someone gave me all the deets or if you find a link holla in the comments section)

Cure for the Pain: The Mark Sandman Story at Texas Theatre
Oh man how legit does sitting in a cold theatre with a gin and tonic for a couple of hours sound. This is one of three events at Texas Theatre this weekend that interest me. Cure for the Pain documents the life and death of the lead singer of Morphine. It might be depressing as hell but the good kind of depressing. There are only two showings Saturday at 7 and Monday at 9.





 Sunday
 Jurassic Park Live Action Dino Show at Texas Theatre
It's like "Be Kind Rewind" but live and it's Jurrasic Park!! What more do I have to say?  Oh it starts at 5
 Just stay in your seat after because there's another event at Texas Theatre at 8. Ok to be fair you will have like an hour to kill. Maybe you can go get fitted for a quinceanera dress in that hour to wear to this party.


Raw: Natural Born Artists at Texas Theatre
A crazy extravaganza of activity: Short Films, Music, Fashion and Art. All in one spot. Seriously I 'm just thinking about how they will set that all up in time. I'm lying. I'm just thinking about what color quinceanera dress I would buy.

Seriously. This needs to be mine.
So This week I decided to try something new and put together a playlist on Spotify for you of what is playing this weekend. it includes the bands playing as well as some music related to the movies. Listen to it here.

OK kids. Stay tuned for next week when I try decide if there's really anything else I want to do besides see Katy Perry: Part of Me ( I doubt it).
