Get The Jump On Your 2/19 – 2/25 Plans.
The Mardi Gras celebrations continue this week, leading right up to the big day on Tuesday — especially in Oak Cliff, where they seem to have that shit on lock. The rest of the week is filled with a nice mix of really nice musical offerings, as well as one of the biggest local fashion showcases of the year. Then, the week ends the same way last week's did, with another spectacular up-and-coming hip-hop performer rolling through Trees. Just like last week's, that show is brought to you by the folks at Scoremore, so you can bet it'll be another sellout too.
