Things To Do This Week.

Get The Jump On Your 2/26 – 3/3 Plans.

It's been impossible not to notice the erection of the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge — a.k.a. Dallas' new gateway to the west — over the past several months. Now, the city has a weekend-long celebration planned to open the bridge, filled with concerts, a street fair and a 5K run.

Also this week? Yelp, the popular business-ranking social network site, has organized a week-long city-wide happy hour in which bars all over town are offering up half-priced drinks.

Oh, and Good Records has recently announced several really nice upcoming in-store performances in the near future, starting this week with Gorilla vs Bear Fest alum Grimes.

2nd Annual Starkbierfest at Common Table
Fun fact: The original starkbier was brewed by some clever monks who were looking for a way to stave away hunger while still technically fasting during Lent. (For monks, fluids don't break fasting rules.)

Central Track Presents: Doug Burr/Gold Beach 7″ release party at Good Records
We're helping Spune celebrate the release of a pair of new 7-inches. You can bet there will be food trucks on site. It's how we roll.

For The Love of the Artists at Kettle Art
Interesting take on an art show where 100 percent of sales go directly to the artists.
