Get The Jump On Your 3/10 – 3/16 Plans.
The biggest and longest of North Texas' dozens of festivals may be winding down today, but for the next few weeks festivals are still going to be fairly inescapable around these parts.
Hell, Lower Greenville venue The Crown and Harp alone is hosting two of those suckers this week alone! But, really, that's just what happens in Dallas around South by Southwest time, as spillover acts from that Austin deal bum around our parts for a pass either on the way in or way out of that annual clusterfuck.
Think of it this way: You're going to be busy these next few days.
