Things To Do This Weekend.

Party Hard.

Truth be told, this post is easier to write than most. Whereas most weekends we feel compelled to list out option after option for things to do over the course of Friday, Saturday and Sunday, we can rest fairly assured that, this time around, a good chunk of our readers already know what they'll be doing. They'll be up in Denton at the fifth annual 35 Denton festival, taking in any number of the 35 bands we recommended they check out over the course of the four-day affair.

But maybe don't fit in that camp. Maybe you're unique and different. Maybe you're special.

Seriously, though, even those of you not trekking up to Denton this weekend are in for a serious treat. There is a lot of big talent rolling into the region this weekend.

Friday
