Things to do for September 20, 2012

The Weekender

Oktoberfest, Art Fest and Cigars in a Barbershop... Fest

Hey, hey, hey! It’s Fat Weekend.

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.

Sep 20, until 9pm, Pockets, 46 Highland Park Village, 214-368-1167

Oktoberfesting in Addison
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.

Scoring Cigars from Your Barber
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.

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.

Friday
Art Festing in the West Village
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.
