Things To Do On Thursday, November 22.

Have a Beer and Drink In Turkey Day!

There's a holiday today! But what does that really mean in terms of obligation? Sure, you might have to meet up with your family and loved ones at some point to gather around plates and plates of food — and, OK, maybe sit around the TV for some amount of time and gawk at football games — but, really, can't you be thankful on this day and have some fun for yourself? Today, after the turkey's been cleared from the table, be thankful for your ability to stay independent from your relatives. Go out and live a productive, fun life in Dallas.

North Texas Turkey Trot at FC Dallas Stadium
Want to run and sweat instead of staying inside and gorging? During the North Texas Turkey Trot at FC Dallas Stadium in Frisco, participants will be running races to benefit the Miracle League of Frisco. Registration starts at 6:30 a.m.; races start at 8 a.m.

Non-Perishable Comedy
The Non-Perishable Comedy deal at the Dallas Comedy House is still going strong! Here's how it works: Every Thursday of November, the Dallas Comedy House offers you half-priced admission to its show in exchange for two canned goods to be donated to the North Texas Food Bank. In other words? Swipe a couple of creamed corn cans from your aunt's pantry before she cooks them up today and get some laughs for less.

Good Luck Karaoke at the Double Wide
American Idol takes too much time and money. There's an easier way for people to learn that you're a terrible singer. Shorten and cheapen the process by visiting the Double Wide tonight for Good Luck Karaoke. Tonight's theme should be especially uncomfortable as the theme is “Proctologists!” (Seriously.) Whatever, you guys; it's free and awesome.

Big Bang at Beauty Bar
