Dwight Your Wrongs.

Never mind needing to rely on the spillover from next month's Austin City Limits festival or November's Fun Fun Fun Fest: Dallas is smack dab in the middle of a pretty heady festival season of its own.

Just as Elm Street Music and Tattoo Fest and Dia de Los Toadies both wrap up this weekend, we've already got Breakaway Fest out in Frisco and Deep Ellum's inaugural Burger-Fest to look forward to for next weekend. And that's to say nothing of Denton's Canned Fest or Deep Ellum's second annual Index Fest both coming in October.

But first things first: There's a hell of a lot going on this week, and navigating through it all is most certainly going to require some planning.
