Hey, hey, hey! It’s Fat Weekend.
PERK ALERT

Meet Cooper Bikes. They’re eye-pleasing, they’re made by an esteemed family in the British racing scene,
and on Perks we’ve got their best machines for less than you’ll find anywhere else. (We’ve also got exclusive leather shoes
from Allen Edmonds and quality beef jerky for 30% off. You only eat quality jerky.)
POCKET SQUARE
Where You’ll Find Your Fall Blazer
Buying things from a car trunk: bad idea. Buying things from Luciano Barbera’s fashion trunk: better idea.
Especially when it’s full of handsome blazers and top coats. Stop by today to peruse some made-to-measure
items, and then stick around for snacks and drinks. There’s no trunk for those.

WURST-CASE SCENARIO
Oktoberfesting in Addison
Oktoberfest. It’s your favorite September holiday. And it’s coming to Addison in a big way. Expect four
days of German beer and schnitzel, plus live music under massive tents. And for your amusement, there’s
keg bowling. It’s like regular bowling, but far worse for your rotator cuff.

- Sep 20-23, Addison Oktoberfest, 4970 Addison Circle Dr, 972-450-2851
PUFF PIECE
Scoring Cigars from Your Barber
You expect a lot from your barbershop. Impeccable haircuts. Straight-razor shaves. That little glass bottle
with strange blue liquid. Also, custom cigars. For that, try the the Gents Place. They’ve contracted a
local cigar maker to hand-roll a line of house sticks. Smoke ’em if you got ’em.

- Available now at The Gents Place, 10720 Preston Rd, 214-329-0400
IN DEEP
A Poolside Wine Party at the W
Here’s some breaking wine news: you can now drink it 16 stories above Victory Plaza. Because the W
hotel’s serving it pool-adjacent on Thursday nights. Up there, you’ll find a bunch of by-the-glass vino,
plus majestic views of jazz and Latin-infused Dallas. Wait... that’s backwards.

- Thursdays, 6-10pm, W Dallas – Victory, 2440 Victory Park Ln, 214-397-4100
IT TAKES A VILLAGE
Art Festing in the West Village
Local art. Live music. Snacks. Those words are all relevant to your weekend in the West Village. The Art
Uprising (which is less V for Vendetta and more cultural fair) will be setting up shop there and
displaying works from 50 local artists. And zero local balloon-animal artists.

- Sep 21-23, Art Uprising in West Village, 214-219-1144
