Things To Do This Week.

Get The Jump On Your 7/8 – 7/14 Plans.

Why do mid-week Independence Day holidays seem to take so much more time to recover from from than weekend ones do? No matter the reason, hopefully you're fully recouperated from the corndog eating contests, 8 a.m. bar crawls, fighting the pool crowds and narrowly avoiding fireworks-related injuries to properly enjoy this week's offerings.

As usual, there are plenty of good parties and concerts, plus the traditional $13 tattoo deal at Elm Street Tattoo, a film festival and a star-studded grand opening of a new salon owned by a former Dallas Cowboy.
