Things To Do In Dallas Tonight: Dec. 20

The movies for the Texas Theatre’s Tuesday Night Trash series just keeping getting worse.

In the spirit of the holiday that shall not be named because I am so unprepared, the Oak Cliff theater will screen Elves, a very, very distant cousin of the Will Ferrell vehicle. A woman and her friends are trapped in a department store with a bunch of genetically-mutated elves (part of a Nazi plot, naturally) and it’s Santa to the rescue. The movie is free, and there will be drink specials at the bar. And since it’s apparently National Sangria Day (I feel like it’s been too long since we had one of these “days”), La Calle Doce is serving their take on the boozy punch this evening.

If you feel up to a trip to Fort Worth, there are still tickets left for Lyle Lovett’s concert at the Bass Hall. The country artist will be there alongside members of his latest venture, an acoustic group made of up members from his usual tour mates, his large band. Definitely drop by The Usual for a cocktail after the show. It’s worth the little extra drive.
