Monday was a great day to recover from The Quest For The Golden Jesus Chili Cookoff. The downside is that the short week means no time to plan for the weekend. That's why you're reading this, right?
Even though Summer is in full effect, the actual first day of Summer isn't until June 21st so take advantage of the cool weather and start making that list of Texas BBQ joints you're going to hit.
Thursday May 30
The Gourds | Dan's | 9PM | $15
Austin heavy-hitters The Gourds take over Dan's this Thursday and probably won't be playing Gin & Juice unless you ask really nicely or loudly.
Twilight Tunes | Courthouse Square | 6:30PM | FREE
The award winning series continues with Bonnie & Nick Norris. Load the kiddos up on candy and ice cream and let them go nuts.
Bukkake Moms / Curvette / The Great Depressions | Gloves | $1
On a budget this summer? Can't beat a single dollar for this one.
Friday May 31
Doug Burr / Fox & The Bird / Glen Farris | St. David's | $10 / $13
This is the same beautiful room Sarah Jaffe and Seryn played a few years back. The copious smoking outside the door is what kept tasteful shows from happening till now but with the guidance of Denton statesmen Eric Pulido and Dave Sims paving the way to use this room, lets hope the trend continues.
Hares On The Mountain / Boxcar Bandits / AM Ramblers | Dan's | 9PM | $8
Cardo's 2013 Summer Camp Enrollment Closes | Cardo's Farm Project | this summer

Saturday June 1
Baptist General's Album Release "JACKLEG DEVOTIONAL TO THE HEART" | Dan's | 9PM | $15
