Things to Do in Dallas Tonight: Oct. 6

Before we get into what to do after you’ve stopped typing for the day, I want to give you a heads-up about next Friday morning’s bike ride to City Hall. All riders are welcome—even those of us with big-ass Pee-wee Herman-style cruisers—and several meet-up groups have formed for cyclists who want to ride in a pack to the starting point (Union Station).

Moving on. Vampire Weekend is in town tonight. If you want my opinion—and if you’re still reading at this point it’s possible you do—these kids produce some seriously fun, feel-good music that should help get you through the rest of the week. Witness “Oxford Comma” and “A Punk.”

However, let’s just say you’re feeling blue. You’ve accepted it, and you don’t expect anything—not even puppies or a free bag of Skittles—to pull you up from the pit of despair. Then you, friend, should check out two Edward Albee plays, The American Dream and The Sandbox, which open tonight at Bath House Cultural Center. Albee also brought us the incredible but soul-crushing Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? so be prepared for lingering melancholy. That said, I think it will be worth it to see these short works brought to life.

Check out these other things to do in Dallas, and have a great night.
