Things To Do On Thursday, January.

Sober Up at Beauty Bar.

You open your mailbox in the morning to discover a single letter. You open it up. It reads as follows:

“Dear [Your Name Here],

Hello. How are you? I am well. Well, mostly well. I recently had to have my chimney cleaned out, and I had no idea that it cost so much to hire chimney sweeps. I even decided to outsource the work to a British chimney sweep service, but was that didn't really help. They mostly just danced in a Marry Poppins-like way. They hardly cleaned at all, now that I think about it.

So, anyway, I had to clean my chimney myself. And I got trapped in there for nearly two days. I just now escaped, which hopefully explains why I am writing you now and now sooner, as I had planned.

Anyways, I'm writing you because I haven't seen you in awhile. Why is that? Is it just because you've been busy with family? Or did I do something wrong?

Either way, I just want you to know that I'm always here if you want to hang out. You're always invited over.

Hopefully I'll see you soon!

Love,
Dallas”

Man, Dallas wrote you a letter? The least you could do is go visit it tonight. Seriously, get out of the house. And take a shower. You kinda smell.

At Night at Sundown at Granada
Your favorite place for free shows is having yet another show without a price tag tonight, this time showcasing the progressive electronic sounds of At Night.

DJ Al Wildcat at The Crown and Harp
For those of you imagining a wildcat equipped with sunglasses, headphones and a turntable: Prepare to face disappointment tonight at The Crown and Harp. For those of you imagining a (human) DJ equipped with rockabilly, psychobilly and punk music: Prepare to be elated at the DJ of choice tonight at The Crown and Harp.

Party at The Wherehouse
Fort Worth's The Wherehouse will be having its usual Thursday night going-ons tonight. For $10, you get to enjoy as much booze as you want (within reason), plus access to a taco stand, a pool and a fire pit. Also, there's a DJ and an open mic. More, too, I think.

Half-Priced Raw Oysters at Aw Shucks
If you head over to Aw Shucks from 3:30 to 6:30 this afternoon, you will discover that the raw oysters are half-priced today. Stuff your face!

Big Bang! at Beauty Bar
DJ Sober's ever-popular weekly celebrates its first 2013 edition tonight. Expect the usual craziness that comes with a Sober's hip-hop-heavy offerings and his always-at-capacity dancefloors.
