Get The Jump On Your 4/22 – 4/28 Plans.
It's another concert-heavy week in Dallas, and that's never a bad thing. The Edge's massive all-day offering today out in Frisco is obviously the biggest. But there's plenty more where that comes from: Curren$y, Olivia Tremor Control, The Brian Jonestown Massacre and Deer Tick are just a few of the week's other big-name performers. Also tonight, author David Sedaris, whose sister was just in town speaking last week, will be doing a reading over at SMU. And, this Friday, renowned fashion designer Jeremy Laing will take part in a trunk show at V.O.D.
