Halloweekend part one is a wrap, and I think I need to rest all week before part two, the grand finale. Seriously, this weekend was stacked. Sick New World. ArtsGoggle. Halloween parties. Daytime fall festivities. What were y’all up to? I explored Oak Lawn, the Halloween Capital of Texas (Denton), and went to a local show! Can’t wait to see what the actual Halloweekend brings.

We aren't stopping at Halloween, though. A ton of artists are wrapping up their tours soon and making a stop in DFW – like, Steve Lacy! Catch the Oh Yeah? Tour at The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory on November 5. Enter to win tickets.
