Things To Do This Week.

Get The Jump On Your 9/9 – 9/15 Plans.

Remember that yacht rock party we threw ourselves a few weeks back? Sure, it was a sweaty, slightly silly way to celebrate our six-month anniversary. But it wasn't a completely self-serving affair, either; in part, we just wanted to get you guys pumped about this week's Hall & Oates show at the Allen Event Center. And that's just the highlight of a week that also brings some post-punk legends to town on top of a soapbox derby race and another custom Vinyl Thoughts toy show.
