Go Skating, Chow Down On Your Favorite Emojis, Jam Out To Your Favorite Boy Bands, Eat Dollar Hot Dogs And Nine Other Ways To Enjoy The Day.
It’s last-minute weight-loss season. Y’know what we’re talking about — when you’re trying to lose the pounds you put on during winter that you swore you’d lose by spring but didn’t.
Let’s be honest with ourselves: Healthy food can get pricey. And while some of us would sure like to spend a whole bunch of our budget on vegetables and fruits like avocados, it’s just not feasible.
We’re guessing, though, that most of you won’t resort to stealing $300,000 worth of avocados like Joseph Valenzuela, Rahim LeBlanc, and Carlos Chavez of Oxnard, California, did last week.
Crime never pays, y’all.
Y’know what does, though? Staying informed on all the best events happening around town on any given night.
Go Skate Day at Alliance Skate Park
It’s National Go Skate Day. Time to hit the ramps with your blades and ‘boards! Just don’t forget to wear a helmet.
Emoji Dinner at Dallas Fish Market
This, weirdly, is just what it sounds like — an emoji-themed dinner featuring a nine-course meal from Chef Richard Triptow, head chef at the Dallas Fish Market. Here, you can eat your favorite emojis in food form. ???
Dollar Hot Dog Night at Globe Life Park
Grab yourself a hot dog for a buck and then another and another and another… Oh, look at that! The Rangers are playing those damn Toronto Blue Jays. Kids 13 and younger are also encouraged to line up and get autographs from some of their favorite former Rangers players, who’ll be in attendance tonight.

DEEP DISH: Deep Ellum Dinner + Art Night
It’s the first-ever restaurant and art show mix in Deep Ellum! The party starts at Kettle Art Gallery and then moves over to Independent Bar + Kitchen for some eatin’.
Jam Session at Prophet Bar
The weekly jam session at the Prophet Bar is always a mind-expanding experience thanks to the musical talents of RC Williams and his band the Gritz, who hold things down here in with their live fusion of jazz, hip-hop and R&B. But, this week, the regular players (and all of their Grammy Awards) are getting some assistance from the up-and-coming mind-blowing talents in Rache. Making things even more special is the fact that resident DJ Jay*Clipp will be exclusively playing Mobb Deep songs all night long between live sets, paying homage to the recently departed emcee, Prodigy.
