This week is flying. Actually, this year is flying by. It’s time to soak in each moment, savor the summer sunsets, and try something new. The plans are leaving the group chat this weekend, and if you still need something to do, we’ve got you.

Your next concert could be on us. Static Dress is bringing the Injury Episode USA Tour to Dallas, and we're giving away a pair of tickets. Hit that enter button and let luck handle the rest.*

• Three headliners, one box canyon, thousands of feet of scenery. Enter for a chance to win two VIP tickets, a Hotel Telluride stay, and Montrose-to-Telluride transportation. Jon Batiste, Marcus King Band, and Taj Mahal & Keb’ Mo’ take the main-stage honors September 18-20. The box canyon handles the backdrop.*

MUST-TRY FRIED CHICKEN

We do a lot right in the south when it comes to food, so it's no surprise that we aren't short on spots to grab fried chicken in Dallas. Whether you like to keep it simple with wings, or sop it up with syrup and waffles, there's plenty of room on the plate in North Texas.
