Warning: It's beautiful out. I repeat: It's beautiful out.

With temperatures slated to stay at mid-nineties and below, you'll actually enjoy leaving your house this weekend. There's a SUP paddle boarding party in Grapevine, a free block party in the Arts District and a giant beer festival and concert at the racetrack, all begging for your affection.

Rather stay indoors? There's tattoos, video games, technology lectures, more beer tastings, burlesque, comedy, comic books and even a Jane Austen themed gala. Draft up a game plan, and click the event titles for more information. I'll see you out there. (I'll be the one fly fishing near the paddle boarders.)
