I know what you're thinking: Did I drop acid and step inside of a paint-by-numbers, again? Possibly. Also, Night Comfort! It's Friday's celebration of music video and Beta-era television footage.

What's that Dallas? You'd like dirt track championships, tripped-out musicals on film, Irish Festivals, live comedy, great art AND opera in bars? You drive a hard bargain, but OK.

Click the event titles for more information, and share this list with your adventure posse. I'll see you out there. (I'll be the one aggressively seducing a tenor while gnawing on fried chicken.)

Thursday 2.28 Mark Frauenfelder -- He's the editor of Make Zine, former editor of Wired, contributing writer for the NYT Magazine and a general Professor of DIY Badassery, because that's totally a degree plan, somewhere. He's speaking in Fort Worth tonight, so if you have a question -- any question -- about how stuff works when soldered with other stuff, he'll have your answer.
