The summer is winding down and pretty soon it's going to get rainy and cold. Well, cool. Or at least cool-ish. Sure, you're sweltering now, but you're going to miss all the parties, concerts and other outdoor events you didn't take advantage of because you were inside, hugging an air-conditioning vent and bitching about the heat. It's not too late to save yourself a long – well, long-ish – winter of regret. The Mad Decent Block Party features a long lineup of DJ and dubstep artists to help you get your groove on for the entire summer including Bro Safari, Bunji Garlin, Dillon Francis, Jack u, Jillionaire and Toy Selectah and Friends along with a roster of wrestlers to help you fulfill your unconscious need for wanton violence. The Mad Decent Block Party will be held in a lot located at 703 McKinney Ave. outside of Club Zouk. Tickets are available through eventbrite.com for $45 per person.
